General description

Anti-MBD2a,b (RA-18) is developed in rabbit using as immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding human MBD2a conjugated to KLH. MBD2 consists of two isoforms, MBD2a and MBD2b, which are generated from a single gene; MBD2a is a 414 amino acids protein, whereas MBD2b lacks the 152 amino acids N-terminal extension. MBD2a is a component of the MeCP1 corepressor complex, which is a 400-800 kDa complex containing as components MBD2, Mi-2, MTA2, MBD3, and HDAC1/2.
The gene encoding methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2a) is localized on chromosome 18.

Specificity

The antibody recognizes MBD2a (~45 kDa) and MBD2b (~29 kDa). In immunoblotting, an unidentified band at ~43 kDa may also be detected.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 294-411 of human MBD2a conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added lysine residue. This sequence is conserved in MBD2a and MBD2b of human origin, and is not found in MBD3.

Application

Anti-MBD2a,b (RA-18) antibody produced in rabbit has been used:
  • for chromatin immunoprecipitation and western blotting
  • immunofluorescence
  • immunoblotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

MBD2 binds to methylated DNA in vitro or in vivo, suggesting that MBD2 targets the MeCP1 complex to methylated DNA. MBD2a interacts with RNA Helicase A (RHA). MBD2 protein appear to protect against some cancers.
Methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2a) acts as a repressor during transcription.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Mammalian circadian rhythms are generated by a negative feedback loop in which PERIOD (PER) proteins accumulate, form a large nuclear complex (PER complex), and bind the transcription factor CLOCK-BMAL1, repressing their own expression. We found that mouse PER complexes include

During apoptosis, caspases degrade 8 out of ~30 nucleoporins to irreversibly demolish the nuclear pore complex. However, for poorly understood reasons, caspases are also activated during cell differentiation. Here, we show that sublethal activation of caspases during myogenesis results in
