Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-MKP1 (Ser359) (125E2) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of MKP1 only when phosphorylated at serine 359.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser359 of human MKP1.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, treated with λ Phosphatase or ALLN, using Phospho-MKP1 (Ser359) (125E2) Rabbit mAb.

IP

IP

Western blot analysis of immunoprecipitates from untreated or TPA-treated HeLa cells, using Phospho-MKP1 (Ser359) (125E2) Rabbit mAb.

Background

MAP kinases are inactivated by a family of dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DUSP) that differ in their substrate specificity, tissue distribution, inducibility by extracellular stimuli and cellular localization. MKP1 (MAP Kinase phosphatase 1) is primarily localized in the nucleus, and has broad substrate specificity towards p44/42 MAPK, p38 MAPK and SAPK/JNK (1-3). MKP1's transcription and activity are tightly regulated. First, MKP1 is transcriptionally induced through p44/42 MAPK, p53 and Jak2 (2,4,5). Second, MKP1 is phosphorylated by p44/42 MAPK at Ser359 and Ser364 in its carboxy-terminal region, which inhibits MKP1 degradation through the ubiquitin pathway (6).
