ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Specificity

Clone HWA4C4 is a ZooMAb^® Mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Ubiquitin Lys 63 tagged proteins.

Immunogen

A branched peptide corresponding to the Lys63 ubiquitination site. The C-terminus of Ubiquitin 71-76 peptide (RLRGG) was attached to the K63 in the Ubiquitin 58-63 peptide (CDYNIQKEST).

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in lysate from HeLa cells treated with MG132.

Western Blotting Analysis (WB): A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected Ubiquitin Lys63 in lysate from HeLa cells treated with MG132 (25 nM; 4 h), but not in untreated cells.

Tested applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Ubiquitin Lys63 in Ubiquitin K63, Ubiquitin K11, and Ubiquitin K48.

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound recombinant Ubiquitin-Lys63 with a KD of 5.2 x 10-6 in an affinity binding assay.

Enzyme Immunoassay Analysis (ELISA): A serial of dilutions from a representative lot detected recombinant Ubiquitin Lys63, but not Ubiquitin K11 or GST protein.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Target description

Ubiquitin (Ub) is initially produced as a 229 amino acids Polyubiquitin-B (UniProt: P0CG47) precursor protein encoded by the UBB gene (Gene ID: 7314) or a 685 amino acids Polyubiquitin-C precursor protein (UniProt: P0CG48) encoded by the UBC gene (Gene ID: 7316) in human. Ub exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different lysine residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator methionine (Met) of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Ub is linked covalently via its carboxyl terminus (Gly76) to lysine residues in target proteins. In a given target lysine residue can be linked to one single Ub molecule (monoubiquitylated) or to a chain of Ub molecules (polyubiquitylated). In a polyUb chain, Ub molecules can be linked through one of the seven lysine residues (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, and K63). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the lysine residue of the ubiquitin that is linked. For example, lysine 6-linked may be involved in DNA repair; lysine 11-linked is involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) and in cell-cycle regulation, and lysine 29-linked is involved in lysosomal degradation. Lysine 48-linked chains mark proteins for proteasomal degradation, while lysine 63-linked chains are involved in endocytosis, DNA-damage responses, and in signaling leading to activation of the transcription factor NF-kB. Ubiquitin undergoes phosphorylation at the serine 57 by a ubiquitin kinase and this phosphorylation is an important modifier of ubiquitin function, particularly in response to proteotoxic stress. This phosphorylation may also be a deciding factor whether ubiquitin is recycled or degraded during multi-vesicular body sorting on endosomes.

Physical form

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
