using motif and post-translational<br />
modification-specific antibodies<br />
Motif and post-translational modification (PTM) antibodies<br />
can help answer two major scientific questions.<br />
1. How can I measure global changes in PTMs or protein kinase activity in response<br />
to cellular treatments<br />
2. How can I investigate PTMs on a protein of interest without complex in vivo labeling<br />
experiments or where no target-specific antibody is available<br />
Post-translational modifications of proteins catalyzed by kinases, acetylases, methylases, ubiquitin<br />
ligases, and other enzymes are key regulators of cell signaling and can be valuable targets for therapeutic<br />
intervention in disease states. Antibodies recognizing specific protein modification sites (e.g.<br />
Phospho-Akt, Acetyl-Histone) are well-known and valuable tools for studying PTMs. To augment these<br />
tools, <strong>CST</strong> has developed motif and PTM-specific antibodies, a distinct class of PTM reagents that<br />
have a broader target specificity and can therefore be used for a different set of applications.<br />
Motif Antibodies<br />
PTMs catalyzed by a specific modification enzyme are often constrained to a peptide sequence pattern,<br />
or motif, that reflects the substrate specificity of that enzyme. For example, substrates of the<br />
protein kinase Akt generally contain an RXRXXS motif in which Akt phosphorylates the serine residue.<br />
Antibodies that detect the motif RXRXXpS can be used to detect a broad spectrum of Akt substrates.<br />
Motif antibodies, proprietary to <strong>CST</strong>, recognize a modified residue in the context of a specific peptide<br />
sequence motif. These highly specialized antibodies were originally developed for the identification<br />
and quantification of PTMs catalyzed by kinases from several branches of the human kinome. More<br />
recently, individual motif antibodies have been developed to recognize several other post-translational<br />
modifications such as methyl-arginine and caspase cleavage sites.<br />
PTM-specific Antibodies<br />
PTM-specific antibodies differ from motif antibodies in that they recognize a specific protein posttranslational<br />
modification, but are not restricted to a specific sequence motif surrounding the modification<br />
site. Examples of PTM-specific antibodies from <strong>CST</strong> include Phospho-Tyrosine (P-Tyr-1000) Rabbit<br />
mAb #8954 and Acetylated-Lysine (Ac-K 2 -100) Rabbit mAb #9814. Together, motif and PTM-specific<br />
antibodies provide a robust toolbox for the identification and classification of PTMs and their effects on<br />
cellular regulation.<br />
How can motif and PTM-specific antibodies be used<br />
• Quantitatively identify the PTM alterations of cellular proteins due to up- or down-regulation<br />
of a specific kinase, acetylase, methylase, nitrosylase, or ubiquitin ligase.<br />
• Motif and PTM antibodies can be used in early-stage investigations where a high quality<br />
antibody may not be available for a specific modified protein target. Assay target-specific<br />
PTM alterations via immunoprecipitation (IP) enrichment of the target protein followed by<br />
western blot (WB) analysis using the motif or PTM-specific antibody.<br />
• Screen candidate therapeutics using in vitro kinase and phosphatase assays based on a<br />
motif or PTM-specific antibody.<br />
One example of the application of a motif antibody involves the response of Jurkat cells to the PP1 and<br />
PP2A protein phosphatase inhibitor Calyculin A. The response was studied by 2D gel electrophoresis<br />
followed by WB analysis using a <strong>CST</strong> motif antibody recognizing the phospho-serine 14-3-3 binding<br />
motif. The data reveal a pronounced increase in overall phosphorylation levels. Based on this initial<br />
study, individual proteins of interest are selected for further study.<br />
Specific kinases in the human kinome phosphorylate<br />
target proteins at distinct substrate sequence motifs.<br />

Representative phosphorylation motifs from the PhosphoSitePlus ® online resource. Logos for individual motifs are superimposed on the kinase dendrogram developed in collaboration<br />
between Gerard Manning and Cell Signaling Technology (1). These and over 100 other kinase motifs can be generated for kinases that have 15 or more unique protein substrates reported<br />
in the literature, and these are curated into the PhosphoSitePlus ® knowledge base (2).<br />
