Our Argonaute 2 (Tyr-393) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects chicken, human, mouse, rat, and Xenopus Argonaute 2 (Tyr-393) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in WB, ICC.

Western blot analysis of human A431 cells treated with EGF (100 ng/ml for 60 min.) (lanes 1-4). The blot was treated with lambda phosphatase (lanes 2 & 4) then probed with rat monoclonal anti-Ago2 (AM5271) (lanes 1 & 2) and rabbit polyclonal anti-Ago2 (Tyr-393) phospho-specific antibody (lanes 3 & 4).

Target

Argonaute 2 (Tyr-393)

Scientific Background

Several classes of small RNAs, including short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been identified. MicroRNAs are about 21 nucleotides in length and have been implicated in many cellular processes such as development, differentiation, and stress response. These small RNAs function together with complexes called micro-ribonucleoproteins (miRNPs) to regulate gene expression by modulating mRNA translation or stability. Among the most important components in these complexes are argonaute proteins. There are four members in the mammalian argonaute family and only argonaute 2 (Ago2) possesses the Slicer endonuclease activity. Argonaute proteins participate in various steps of microRNA-mediated gene silencing, such as repression of translation and mRNA turnover. These activities may be regulated by cell signaling events that alter argonaute phosphorylation. EGFR phosphorylates Tyr-393 in Ago2, which reduces binding to Dicer and inhibits miRNA processing. Akt3 phosphorylates Ago2 at Ser-387 leading to reduced mRNA cleavage and enhanced translational repression.

Gene Name

AGO2

Molecular Weight

Immunogen

Phospho-Ago2 (Tyr-393) synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding tyrosine 393 in human Ago2. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in mouse, rat, chick, and fish Ago2. The site is also conserved in Ago1 and Ago4, but not in Ago3.

Human

Species Reactivity

Chicken, Frog, Human, Mouse, Rat

Storage

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Physical State

Liquid

Buffer

PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:1000
ICC: 1:50

Conjugate

Unconjugated

Specificity

This antibody was cross-absorbed to unphospho-Ago2 (Tyr-393), before affinity purification using phospho-Ago2 (Tyr-393) peptide. The antibody detects a 97 kDa* protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of phosphorylated Ago2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human A431 cells that were treated with EGF. This reactivity is not observed after lambda phosphatase dephosphorylation.
