Gene Information

General description

Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 1 is a protein encoded by the MAPRE1 gene in humans. EB1 (End-Binding-1) proteins belong to a distinct family of accessory proteins, termed “plus-end tracking proteins” or +TIPs, that bind to the plus-ends of microtubules. All EB1 family proteins have a highly conserved N-terminal region that contains a calponin homology (CH) domain and an EB1-like C-terminal motif, which is unique to EB1 family proteins.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 252-268 located at the C-terminus of human EB1, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is identical in several species (mouse, rat, dog, bovine, and porcine EB1), highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in chicken EB1, and has limited homology to human EB2 (35% identity) and human EB3 (53% identity).

Application

Anti-EB1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in
  • immunofluorescence
  • western blotting
  • immunocytochemistry
  • immunoprecipitation

Biochem/physiol Actions

End-Binding-1 (EB1) associates with components of the dynactin complex and cytoplasmic dynein intermediate chain.
The C-terminal domain of End-binding proteins (EBs) is important for its autonomous microtubule tip tracking, regulation of microtubule dynamics, chromosome segregation and recruitment of numerous partners to microtubule ends. EB1 proteins bind to microtubule ends and act with the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor to regulate the microtubule filament system. It is a potential oncogene and plays an important role during early event in colon carcinogenesis, colorectal cancer (CRC). EB1 acts as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in CRC.

Breaking cell symmetry, known as polarization, requires dynamic reorganization of microtubules (MTs) and is essential to many cellular processes, including axon formation in neurons. A critical step in polarization is believed to be the "selective stabilization" of MTs, which hypothesizes
