General description
A rapid method for isolating ubiquitinated proteins using affinity beads comprised of a GST-fusion protein containing an ubiquitin-associated sequence bound to glutathione-agarose. Useful for the enrichment of polyubiquitinated proteins from cell and tissue lysates of a broad range of species including canine, human, mouse, and yeast. The ubiquitinated proteins can be identified by loading the beads directly onto SDS-PAGE and then immunoblotting with the antibody of choice or Anti-Ubiquitin (Cat. No. 662099). Alternatively, it is possible that the beads can be treated with Isopeptidase T (Cat. No. 419700) to release the proteins from the ubiquitin chains.
A vast majority of short-lived proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. A protein marked for degradation is covalently attached to multiple molecules of ubiquitin, a highly conserved 76-amino acid (8.6 kDa) protein, by a multi-enzymatic system consisting of Ubiquitin-activating (E1), Ubiquitin-conjugating (E2), and the Ubiquitin-ligating (E3) enzymes. The E1 activates a Ubiquitin monomer at its C-terminal cysteine residue to a high-energy thiolester bond which is then transferred to a reactive cysteine residue of the E2 enzyme. The final transfer of ubiquitin to e-amino group of a reactive lysine residue of substrate proteins is brought about by the E3 enzyme. Ubiquitinated protein is then escorted to the 26S proteasome where it undergoes final degradation and the ubiquitin is released and recycled. A family of proteins including Rad23, contain two ubiquitin-associated domains that bind ubiquitinated cellular proteins and translocate them to the proteasome. Ubiquitinated proteins can be enriched using affinity beads comprised of a GST-fusion protein containing this ubiquitin-associated sequence conjugated to glutathione-agarose.

Tumor hypoxia directly promotes genomic instability and facilitates cell survival, resulting in tumors with a more aggressive phenotype. The proto-oncogene pim-1 regulates apoptosis and the cell cycle by phosphorylating target proteins. Overexpression of Pim-1 can cause genomic instability and contribute
