Anti hypusine antibody

Manufactured by Merck Group

The Anti-hypusine antibody is a laboratory reagent used in the detection and quantification of the hypusine modification. Hypusine is a unique amino acid found in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), which plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. This antibody can be utilized in various analytical techniques, such as Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, to study the presence and levels of hypusine-containing proteins.

The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE using standard protocols and transferred onto a 0.2 µm nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare) using a Semi-dry blotting apparatus. Protein transfer was performed at 15 V for 20 min in transfer buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 0.1% (w/v) SDS, 20% (v/v) methanol). After blocking non-specific binding with 5% nonfat milk, the blots were probed either with anti-aIF5A antiserum (used at a 1:10,000 dilution in Tris buffered saline solution containing 0.05% Tween 20 and 5% nonfat milk) or with the anti-hypusine antibody (Millipore). The primary antibodies were detected by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Cell Signaling Technology), employing the enhanced chemiluminescent reagent (SuperSignal West Pico PLUS, Thermo Scientific). The images were visualized with a BioRad ChemiDoc™ MP Imaging system.

Immunoblot Analysis of eIF5A and Hypusine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze the presence of hypusine-containing eIF5A, cultures of the yeast strain VZL1074 transformed with plasmids containing the new eIF5A mutants were grown overnight at 25 °C in 5 mL of SC-ura media with raffinose, and then the cells were transferred into SC-ura media containing tetracycline and galactose to express the eIF5A mutants. After 6 hours of induction, samples were lysed in protein lysis buffer A (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5; 50 mM dithiothreitol; 5 mM EDTA; 5% SDS; 5% glycerol; 2x Protease Inhibitor Cocktail), and 15 μg of whole cell extracts (WCE) were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. We proceeded to perform immunoblot analysis using a rabbit polyclonal anti-eIF5A (yeast) antibody at a 1:15,000 dilution (Valentini et al. 2002 (link)), a rabbit polyclonal anti-hypusine antibody (Millipore) at a 1:1,500 dilution (Mandal et al. 2015 (link)) and a rabbit polyclonal anti-RPL5 (yeast) antibody at a 1:15,000 dilution with an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system on a Li-Cor C-Digit Blot Scanner.

Western Blot Analysis of aIF5A and Hypusine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blot analysis was performed as previously described (Bassani et al., 2018 (link)) with some modifications. Briefly, 15 μg of total proteins for each sample was separated on SDS-15% polyacrylamide gel using standard protocols and then transferred onto a 0.2-μm nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare) using wet transfer blotting apparatus. Protein transfer was performed at 100 V for 30 min in a transfer buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 20% methanol). Nonspecific binding was blocked using 5% nonfat milk. The membranes were probed overnight at 4°C, either with anti-aIF5A (used at a 1:5,000 dilution in TBS-Tween containing 5% of nonfat milk) or with anti-hypusine antibody (Millipore). The detection of primary antibodies was obtained by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Cell Signaling Technology), using the enhanced chemiluminescent reagent (EuroClone). The images were visualized with a BioRad ChemiDoc™ MP Imaging System. The quantification of the signals was obtained by the ImageLab™ software (Biorad).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
