Background

This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. ECT2, also known as epithelial cell transforming sequence 2 oncogene, was originally isolated as a transforming gene from epithelial cells. ECT2 catalyzes guanine nucleotide exchange on the small GTPases, RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42.  ECT2 may be phosphorylated during G2 and M phases, and phosphorylation may be required for its exchange activity. Unlike other known guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rho GTPases, ECT2 exhibits nuclear localization in interphase, spreads throughout the cytoplasm in prometaphase, and is condensed in the midbody during cytokinesis. Expression of dominant-negative ECT2 or microinjection of affinity-purified anti-ECT2 antibody into interphase cells strongly inhibits cytokinesis. These results suggest that ECT2 is an important link between the cell cycle machinery and Rho signaling pathways involved in the regulation of cell division.  Phosphorylation at T790 or S375 significantly affects the catalytic activity of ECT2.

Conjugated Peptide
This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of human ECT2 protein.
This affinity-purified antibody is directed against the phosphorylated form of human ECT2 protein at the pT790 residue. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification.  Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide.  The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide.  Reactivity occurs against human ECT2 protein at the pT790 residue.   By ELISA the antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of the protein.   Reactivity with non-phosphorylated human ECT2 is minimal by ELISA, but western blot shows specific staining of interphase cell lysates, which are predicted to contain non-phosphorylated ECT2.  Additional experiments are underway to clarify antibody specificity. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with ECT2 protein from human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, chimpanzee, chicken, and dog based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence.  Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Application Details

ELISA, WB
This affinity-purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, western blot and immunoprecipitation.  Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 101 kDa in size by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.  Less than 2% reactivity is observed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide.  This antibody is believed to be phospho specific for ECT2 phosphorylated at the pT790 residue.  Experiments to generate more conclusive evidence are currently under preparation.
