W18273D_PURE_HuR_Antibody_1_110220
Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein) from the indicated cell lines were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with 1.0 µg/mL (1:500 dilution) purified anti-HuR (ELAVL1) antibody (clone W18273D) overnight at 4°C. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP goat anti-rat IgG antibody (Cat. No. 405405) at a 1:3000 dilution. Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-β-actin antibody (Cat. No. 643807) was used as a loading control at a 1:10000 dilution (lower). Lane M: Molecular weight marker.

    Untreated HeLa cells (panel A) or HeLa cells treated with 5.0 µg/mL Actinomysin D for 3 hours (panel B) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with Triton X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 60 minutes. Cells were then intracellularly stained with 1.0 µg/mL (1:500 dilution) purified anti-HuR (ELAVL1) antibody (clone W18273D) overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405422) at 2.0 µg/mL. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and the image was captured with a 60X objective.

    Whole cell extracts (250 µg total protein) prepared from HeLa cells were immunoprecipitated overnight with 2.5 µg of purified rat IgG2a, κ isotype ctrl antibody (Cat. No. 400502) or purified anti-HuR (ELAVL1) antibody (clone W18273D). The resulting IP fractions and whole cell extract input (6%) were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with a rabbit control antibody against a separate epitope of HuR.

Description

Adenylate-uridylate-rich elements, or AREs, are short regions of RNA found in the 3’ UTR of messenger RNA. AREs are a major determinant of mRNA stability and translational efficiency, and play a crucial role in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes involved in several cellular processes.

In humans, the Hu family of proteins is comprised of 4 members, each of which stabilize ARE-containing mRNA through directly binding to the ARE motif. In contrast to the Hu family members HuB, HuC, and HuD, which show neural specific distribution, HuR (also known as ELAVL1) is expressed in all tissues. While HuR is largely a resident nuclear protein under normal conditions, in response to cellular stress it can chaperone mRNA from the nucleus to the cytosol and continue to stabilize mRNA once in the cytosol.

HuR is overexpressed and cytosolically delocalized in a wide range of cancers. In in vitro studies, HuR has been shown to stabilize several ARE-harboring mRNA encoding proteins involved in tumorigenesis and transformation, including MMP9, Bax, Fos, p21, and multiple cyclins, and is promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy.

Application

WB - Quality tested
ICC, IP - Verified
Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 μg/mL is recommended. For immunoprecipitation, the suggested use of this reagent is 2.5 µg/test. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

This clone was tested for ICC using 4% PFA-fixed HeLa cells permeabilized with either methanol or Triton X-100. While staining was observed with both methods, methanol permeabilization resulted in stronger HuR staining.
