Applications
Application Notes
Applications Validated by Active Motif:
ChIP-Seq: 4 µg (7 µl) per ChIP
IP: 10 µl per IP
WB*: 1:1,000 - 1:5,000 dilution
*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 SMC-α antibody was raised against a peptide within the C-terminal region of human SMC1-α.
Buffer
Purified IgG in 70 mM Tris (pH 8), 105 mM NaCl, 31 mM glycine, 0.07 mM EDTA, 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.
Background
The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) family proteins play critical roles in various nuclear events that require structural changes of chromosomes, including mitotic chromosome organization, DNA recombination and repair and global transcriptional repression. SMC1 has a myosin-like ATPase domain that serves as a molecular motor to help organize chromatin and is part of the cohesin complex that facilitates chromosome cohesion during the cell cycle. SMC1 and SMC3 form a heterodimeric complex required for metaphase progression in mitotic cells. SMC1 is also involved in DNA damage repair. Subsequent to double strand DNA breaks, SMC1 is phosphorylated by the ATM kinase. Phosphorylated SMC1 is crucial to the successful repair of DNA damage. Defects in SMC1 isoform A are the cause of Cornelia de Lange syndrome type 2, an inherited developmental disorder associated with malformations affecting multiple systems.
Positive Control
Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for SMC1-α antibody.
