Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Human 4E-BP1 (PHAS1) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04AQU90
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: DYST(pT)PGG(bA)C
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues D33 to G40; In the N-terminal portion of the translation regulatory protein. This is one of the major in vivo phosphorylation sites in 4E-BP1.
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.

Scientific Background: 4E-BP1 (PHAS-1) acts downstream of the MAP kinase and TORC1 signalling pathways to inhibit EIF4E activity to promote translation initiation by preventing its assembly into the eIF4F complex. The hypophosphorylated form of 4E-BP1 competes with EIF4G1/EIF4G3 and strongly binds to EIF4E to repress translation. The hyperphosphorylated form of 4E-BP1 dissociates from EIF4E, and permits interaction between EIF4G1/EIF4G3 and EIF4E, leading to initiation of translation.
