Sequence :

Specificity :Recognizes the ATF2 protein phosphorylated at serine 490/498

Cited Applications :WB, IHC

Cross Reactivity :Human and Rat

Host :Rabbit, IgG

Immunogen :Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser490/498 conjugated to KLH

Sample Data :Western blot of human melanoma cells incubated with varying doses of the radiomimetic drug NCS showing specific immunolabeling of the ~74kDa ATF2 protein phosphorylated at Ser490 and Ser498.

Scientific Background :The activating transcription factor ATF2 (also called CRE-BP1) is a member of the ATF/CREB family of leucine zipper transcription factors, which binds both AP-1 and Cre DNA response element (1). ATF2 has two unique characteristics: it mediates adenovirus E1A-induced trans-activation and forms a heterodimer with c-Jun (2). ATF2 is a target of the JNK signal transduction pathway (3). ATF2 is phosphorylated by JNK on two closely spaced threonine residues located in the NH2-terminal activation domain. The replacement of these phosphorylation sites with alanine inhibited the transcriptional activity of ATF2. Furthermore, p38 MAPK can also phosphorylate ATF2.
