Product Type Specific: FUS phosphosite-specific antibody
Antibody Code: PN877
Antibody Target Type: Phosphosite-specific
Antibody Phosphosite: S340
Protein UniProt: P35637
Protein SigNET: FUS
Antibody Type: Polyclonal
Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Synthetic phosphopeptide patterned after human FUS
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: ATV(pS)FDD(βA)C
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues A337 to D343. The effect of S340 phosphorylation is unclear. This is a minor in vivo phosphorylation sites in FUS (≥7 reports from high throughput mass spectrometry studies recorded in PhosphoSitePlus).
Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.
Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: FUS (Fused in Sarcoma, a DNA-/RNA-binding protein that shares functional homology with TDP-43, which has also been associated with mutations linking to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Also known as hnRNP P2, it plays a role in various cellular processes such as transcription regulation, pre-RNA splicing, RNA transport, DNA repair and damage response. It binds to nascent pre-mRNAs and facilitates RNA polymerase II and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein interaction to couple transcription and splicing. It binds also its own pre-mRNA and autoregulates its expression by non-sense-mediated decay. It shuffles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. It features an N-terminal prion-like domain (involved in aggregation), an RNA recognition motif (RRM), glycine-rich regions, and a C-terminal zinc finger domain and nuclear localization signal (NLS). Mutations in the FUS gene (often in the NLS) cause the protein to accumulate in the cytoplasm, leading to toxic, insoluble aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD). FUS can form fusion proteins (e.g., FUS-CHOP) via chromosomal translocations, which are associated with various cancers like liposarcomas.
