General description

Protein A-Sepharose when linked with antibody, helps improving antigen binding capacity of IgG crosslinked to column matrices. In this case, binding happens between Protein A and Fc portion of the IgG molecule leaving antigen specific sites free.

Application

Protein A-Sepharose was used:
  • for immunoprecipitated placentas for protein and RNA analyses using Western blot technique.
  • in chromatin immunoprecipitation to understand the link between Mediator and remodelling of chromatin structure at specific promoters.
  • as lysis buffer to remove endogenous G-type Igs in protein extraction of brain samples from female rats.
  • in immunoprecipitation of [32P] phosphomyristin C of rabbit antiserum, to study the down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphomyristin C (PMC) during T-cell development.
Protein A-Sepharose is used for affinity chromatography, antibody purification and characterization, immunoaffinity matrices, protein chromatography, protein A, G and L resins, and recombinant protein expression and analysis. Protein A-Sepharose has been used to develop strategies for investigating protein interactions, to improve the detection of celiac disease, and to study diabetes in children.

Quantity

Swelling: 1 g swells to approx. 4 ml.

Physical form

Supplied as lyophilized powder stabilized with lactose and dextran.

The sucrose nonfermenting-1 protein kinase (SNF1)/AMP-activated protein kinase subfamily plays a central role in metabolic responses to nutritional and environmental stresses. In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and mammals, the beta- and gamma-noncatalytic subunits are implicated in substrate specificity and subcellular localization

The regulation and expression of protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphomyristin C (PMC) (a principal substrate of PKC which is the major myristylated protein in lymphocyte and glioma lines that express it) in murine B and T lymphocytes were investigated.

Insulin-secreting cells express four GTPases of the Rab3 family. After separation of extracts of INS-1 cells on a sucrose density gradient, the bulk of the A, B, and C isoforms was recovered in the fractions enriched in insulin-containing secretory granules.

Starch biosynthetic enzymes from maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) amyloplasts exist in cell extracts in high molecular weight complexes; however, the nature of those assemblies remains to be defined. This study tested the interdependence of the maize enzymes

A highly conserved multisubunit enzymic complex, SWI/SNF, participates in the regulation of eukaryote gene expression through its ability to remodel chromatin. While a single component of SWI/SNF, Swi2 or a related protein, can perform this function in vitro, the other
