| Size | 100 µl |
| Reactivity | H |
| Sensitivity | Endogenous |
| Molecular Weight (kDa) | 60 |
| Source/Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
| Application/Dilution | {Western Blotting: 1:1000, Immunoprecipitation: 1:50} |
| Storage | Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. |
| Specificity/Sensitivity | Phospho-Beclin-1 (Ser90) (E3X1I) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of Beclin-1 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser90. This antibody may not recognize Beclin-1 when dually phosphorylated at Ser90 and Ser93. |
| Species Reactivity | Human |
| Source/Purification | Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser90 of human Beclin-1 protein. |
| Background | Autophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic-lysosomal degradation of proteins activated in response to nutrient deprivation and in neurodegenerative conditions (1). One of the proteins critical to this process is Beclin-1, the mammalian orthologue of the yeast autophagy protein Apg6/Vps30 (2). Beclin-1 can complement defects in yeast autophagy caused by loss of Apg6 and can also stimulate autophagy when overexpressed in mammalian cells (3). Mammalian Beclin-1 was originally isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen for Bcl-2 interacting proteins and has been shown to interact with Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, but not with Bax or Bak (4). While Beclin-1 is generally ubiquitously expressed, research studies have shown it is monoallelically deleted in 40-75% of sporadic human breast and ovarian cancers (5). Beclin-1 is localized within cytoplasmic structures including the mitochondria, although overexpression of Beclin-1 reveals some nuclear staining and CRM1-dependent nuclear export (6). Investigators have demonstrated that Beclin-1-/- mice die early in embryogenesis and Beclin-1-/+ mice have a high incidence of spontaneous tumors. Stem cells from the mice demonstrate an altered autophagic response, although responses to apoptosis appeared normal (7). Researchers have also found that overexpression of Beclin-1 in virally infected neurons in vivo resulted in significant protection against Sindbis virus-induced disease and neuronal apoptosis (4).Several studies have indicated that autophagy is enhanced by phosphorylation of Beclin-1 at Ser90 triggered by stress-responsive kinases including MAPKAPK-2/MAPKAPK-3, DAPK3, and CaMKII (8-10). |
