Anti-Phospho-c-Abl: Polyclonal c-Abl, Phospho-Tyr245 Antibody |
 |
BACKGROUND c-Abl is a non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase related to the Src family. The N-terminal region of c-Abl is structurally similar to Src and includes Src homology regions 3 and 2 (SH3 and SH2) and the catalytic domain; however, Abl differs from all Src family members by the presence of a large (90 kDa) C-terminal domain. Several functional motifs have been defined in the Abl C-terminus, including a nuclear localization signal (NLS), DNA binding domain, actin binding domain, sites for phosphorylation by protein kinase C and cdc-2 kinase, and binding sites for the adapter proteins Crk, Grb-2 and Nck.1 c-Abl has been implicated in many cellular processes including differentiation, division, adhesion, death, and stress response. c-Abl becomes activated in response to numerous extra- and intra-cellular stimuli.2 c-Abl is localized in the nucleus and the cytoplasm, where it plays distinct roles. The effects of c-Abl are mediated by multiple protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions and its tyrosine kinase domain.3 Its oncogenic counterpart, the Bcr–Abl fusion protein, causes particular human leukaemias. Use of targeted therapy that inhibits BCR-ABL kinase activity by Gleevec leads to hematologic and cytogenetic responses in affected individuals.4
Mutation of a tyrosine (Tyr-245) in the linker region between the Src homology 2 and catalytic domains that is conserved among the Abl family inhibited the autophosphorylation-induced activation of wild-type c-Abl by 50%, whereas the c-Abl Y245F/Y412F double mutant was minimally activated by autophosphorylation. These results support a model where c-Abl is inhibited in part through an intramolecular Src homology 3-linker interaction and stimulated to full catalytic activity by sequential phosphorylation at Tyr-412 and Tyr-245.5
