immunoprecipitation (IP): 5-10 μg using lysates of human WiDr cells. indirect immunofluorescence: 1-2 μg/mL using human HeLa cells. western blot: 0.5-1.0 μg/mL using whole extracts of human WiDr cells
Junction mediating and regulatory protein (JMY) is identified as a transcriptional co-activator of p53 and is a multifunctional actin nucleation factor. JMY contains Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp)-homology 2 (WH2) domains in its C-terminus. The JMY gene is mapped to human chromosome location 5q14.1.
Specificity
Anti-JMY recognizes human JMY.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human JMY, conjugated to KLH.
Application
Anti-JMY antibody produced in rabbit may be used in:
immunoblotting
immunoprecipitation
immunofluorescence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Junction mediating and regulatory protein (JMY) acts as a nucleation promoting factor by activating actin-related proteins-2/3 (ARP2/3), creating branched filament networks, and also by assembling unbranched filaments directly through a Spire-like mechanism. Overexpression of JMY increases motility while its loss slows cell migration. DNA damage causes JMY to accumulate in the nucleus, where it enhances p53-dependent transcription of pro-apoptotic genes. The activities of JMY as a p53 co-factor or as an actin nucleation factor are regulated by its subcellular localization.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
