Description

Description générale

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4A (EC 3.6.4.6; UniProt Q9UN37; also known as hVPS4, Protein SKD2, SKD1-homolog, Vacuolar protein sorting factor 4A, Vacuolar sorting protein 4, VPS4A) is encoded by the VPS4A (also known as SKD1A, VPS4, VPS4-1) gene (Gene ID 27183) in human. VPS4A is a member of the ATPases associated with various cellular activities (AAA) family proteins. The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) machinery consists of five complexes (SCRT-0, ESCRT-I, ESCRT-II, ESCRT-III, and Vps4) and mediates multiple cellular membrane remodeling events, ranging from multivesicular bodies and exosomes formation to the final membrane abscission stage of cytokinesis, all of which converge in the scission of the narrow membrane neck that connects bud to parent membrane or daughter cell to daughter cell. Scission depends on the polymerization of soluble ESCRT-III monomers or dimers into tightly membrane-bound filaments. VPS4A is essential for the functions of the ESCRTs in cells by mediating the disassembly of ESCRT-III filaments to ensure a constant replenish of the pool of soluble ESCRT-III monomers. The ESCRTs are also exploited by HIV-1 and many other enveloped viruses for their escape from the host cells. In addition, VPS4A is reported to facilitate the secretion of oncogenic miRNAs in exosomes and downregulation of VPS4A in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with tumor progression and metastasis.

Spécificité

VPS4A immunostaining and target band detection by UT289 was observed only in untransfected, but not VPS4A shRNA-transfected HeLa cells (Morita, E., et al. (2010). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107(29):12889-12894). Due to a typographical error, UT289 was listed as UT829 in Table S1 of Skalicky, J.J., et al. (2012). J. Biol. Chem. 287(52):43910-43926.

Immunogène

Recombinant human VPS4A lacking N-terminal MIT domain (Morita, E., et al. (2010). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107(29):12889-12894).

Application

Detect Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4A using this rabbit polyclonal Anti-VPS4A (UT289), Cat. No. ABS1646, validated for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blotting.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected VPS4A immunoreactivity concentrated at the spindle pole during metaphase and at the midbody during cytokinesis in 3% paraformaldehyde-fixed HeLa cells. No staining was seen in VPS4A shRNA-transfected HeLa cells (Morita, E., et al. (2010). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107(29):12889-12894).

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipited EGFP-VPS4A fusion together with CHMP5-Myc and Myc-LIP5 exogenously expressed in HEK293T cells. CHMP5-Myc with L4D mutation and Myc-LIP5 with M64A, W147D, or Y278A mutation failed to co-immunoprecipitate with VPS4A (Skalicky, J.J., et al. (2012). J. Biol. Chem. 287(52):43910-43926).

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected both endogenous VPS4A and exogenously expressed EGFP-VPS4A fusion in HEK293T cell lysates as well as in Anti-Myc immunoprecipites from CHMP5-Myc or Myc-LIP5 expressing cells (Skalicky, J.J., et al. (2012). J. Biol. Chem. 287(52):43910-43926).

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected the VPS4A target band in lysate from untransfected, but not VPS4A shRNA-transfected, HeLa cells (Morita, E., et al. (2010). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107(29):12889-12894).
