Description
This antibody recognizes asymmetric dimethylarginine (R216, R218) of TLS/FUS. It does not cross-reacts against symmetric dimethylarginine of TLS/FUS, and non -methylated TLS /FUS.
Arginine methylation is one posttranslational modification. Arginine can be methylated once (monomethylated arginine) or twice (dimethylated arginine). Dimethylation can be further categorized as symmetric (me2s) or asymmetric (me2a). TLS/FUS (Translocated in LipoSarcoma/Fused in Sarcoma) is known as one of the causative genes for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Specifically, it is reported that four arginine residues in TLS/FUS (R216, R218, R242, and R394) are constitutively dimethylated by protein arginine methyltransferases. However, the function of methylated TLS/FUS is still unclear.
Application
 |
Lane1 Recombinant GST-TLS/FUS methylated using PRMT1 in the presence of SAM (20 µM) in vitro.
Lane2 Cell extract from CHO cells immunoprecipitated with rabbit polyclonal anti-TLS/FUS antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, #A300-302A).
※It is hard to detect the specific band for methylated TLS/FUS with crude lysate sample. We recommend to do immunoprecipitation using polyclonal anti-TLS/FUS antibody prior to WB. |
