Antibody Target Type: Phosphosite-specific

Antibody Phosphosite: T183

Protein UniProt: Q13043

Protein SigNET: Q13043

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MST1 (STK4, Krs2) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04AQW95

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: AKRN(pT)VIGT(bA)C

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues A179 to T187; In protein kinase catalytic domain activation T-loop between subdomains VII and VIII.

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.This antibody was also subject to negative purification over phosphotyrosine-agarose.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: MST1 (STK4) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the STE group and STE20 family. It can induce apoptosis following stress activation. MST1 activity can occur in the nucleus and can be via condensation of chromatin and fragmentation of intranucleosomal DNA. It is activated by caspase-cleavage. Full activation requires homodimerization and autophosphorylation of T183; MST1 phosphotransferase activity can be lost with a T183A mutation. Proteolytic cleavage of MST1 during apoptosis can be reduced with the D326N and D349N mutations. Homodimerization and autophosphorylation are lost with a L444P mutation. It leads to the inactivation of the YAP1 oncoprotein by activating downstream kinases such as LATS1 and LATS2, which phosphorylate YAP1 to prevent it from translocating to the nucleus and transcribing cell proliferation and migration genes. MST1 can also promote apoptosis by preventing the deacetylation of p53/TP53, thus promoting p53-dependent transcription and apoptosis. It is also able to inhibit the PKB/Akt1 pathway. MST1 is linked to pancreatic cancer, which is a rare cancer that does not have characteristic symptoms but is related to the integrated breast cancer and pancreatic cancer pathways.
