Western blot of HUVEC stimulated with Pervanadate (1 mM) for 30 min (lanes 1-4). The blots were treated with alkaline phosphatase to remove phosphorylation (lanes 2 & 4), then probed with anti-Profilin (a.a. 126-137) (lanes 1 & 2) or anti-Profilin (Tyr-129) phospho-specific (lanes 3 & 4). The antibodies detect profilin at 15 kDa. In lanes 3 & 4, the antibody also detects an unknown 20 kDa protein.

Product Details

Target

Profilin (Tyr-129)

Target Description

Profilins are small actin-binding proteins that have functions in cell motility, cytokinesis, gene transcription, endocytosis and neuronal plasticity. Four profilin isoforms have been identified in mammals. Profilin-1 (PFN1) and profilin-2a (PFN2a) isoforms are highly conserved in structure, but PFN1 is ubiquitously expressed while PFN2a is preferentially enriched in brain. In addition, there are two testis-specific profilins, PFN3 and PFN4, that significantly differ in primary sequence and function compared to PFN1 and PFN2a. Profilin is phosphorylated at both tyrosine and serine residues in vivo. Tyr-129 is phosphorylated in response to VEGF-A stimulation, and this promotes profilin actin binding and polymerization. Tyr-129 phosphorylation may be important for angiogenesis induced by injuries. Ser-138 is phosphorylated by ROCK and dephosphorylated by PP1. This serine phosphorylation inhibits G-actin binding, as well as decreases profilin's aggregation suppressor activity by inhibiting binding to huntingtin. Thus, Tyr-129 phosphorylation may activate while Ser-138 phosphorylation may inhibit profilin activity.

Antigen

Phospho-Profilin (Tyr-129) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) that includes amino acids surrounding Tyr-129 in human Profilin-1. This sequence is well conserved in rat and mouse Profilin-1. The tyrosine site has some homology to the conserved site (Tyr-129) in Profilin-2a and Profilin-2b, but the site is not conserved in Profiin-3 and Profilin-4.

Species Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Storage

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Physical State

Liquid

Buffer

PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Unconjugated

Specificity

This antibody was cross-adsorbed to unphosphorylated Profilin (Tyr-129) then affinity purified using Profilin (Tyr-129) peptide (without carrier). The antibody detects a 15 kDa band corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of Profilin-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and jurkat cells treated with pervanadate. This reactivity is removed by alkaline phosphatase treatment.
