Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
WB*: 1 - 2 µg/ml dilution

The addition of 0.05% Tween 20 in the blocking buffer and primary antibody incubation buffer is recommended to aid in detection by Western blot.

*Note: many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt / Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western Blot.

Immunogen

This RNA Pol II CTD phospho Thr4 antibody was raised against a peptide containing the RNA Pol II CTD sequence phosphorylated at threonine 4.

Buffer

Purified IgG in PBS with 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

Background

RNA pol II (RNA polymerase II) is a complex of 12 proteins that participates in transcription, mRNA processing, and transcription-coupled DNA repair. RNA polymerase II is distinguished by its large carboxyl-terminal repeat domain (CTD), composed of repeats of the consensus heptapeptide Tyr1-Ser2-Pro3-Thr4-Ser5-Pro6-Ser7. Polo-like kinase 3 (plk3) has been reported to phosphorylate Thr4 which may be required for transcriptional elongation.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for RNA Pol II CTD phospho Thr4 antibody.
