This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-83728. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease that is associated with a (CTG)n repeat expansion in the 3'-untranslated region of the myotonin protein kinase (Mt-PK) gene. A (CUG) n oligonucleotides triplet repeat pre-mRNA/mRNA binding protein may play an important role in DM pathogenesis. HeLa cell protein, CUG-BP1, has been purified based upon its ability to bind specifically to (CUG) 8 oligonucleotides in vitro. CUG-BP1 is the major (CUG) 8 binding activity in normal cells. CUG-BP1 has been identified as isoforms of a novel heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP), hNab50. The CUG-BP/hNab50 protein is localized predominantly in the nucleus and is associated with polyadenylated RNAs in vivo. In vitro RNA-binding/photocrosslinking studies demonstrate that CUG-BP/hNab50 binds to RNAs containing the Mt-PK 3-UTR. The (CUG) n repeat region in Mt-PK mRNA is a binding site for CUG-BP/hNab50 in vivo, and triplet repeat expansion leads to sequestration of this hnRNP on mutant Mt-PK transcripts.
