Protocols
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-c-Fos (Ser32) (D82C12) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of c-Fos protein only when phosphorylated on Ser32. The antibody does not cross-react with other Fos proteins, including FosB, FRA1 and FRA2.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to Ser32 of human c-Fos protein.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, serum-starved overnight and then either untreated or stimulated for 4 hours with TPA (12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-Acetate) #4174, using Phospho-c-Fos (Ser32) (D82C12) XP® Rabbit mAb (upper) and c-Fos (9F6) Rabbit mAb #2250 (lower). Antibody phospho-specificity is shown by treating lysates with λ-phosphatase.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells, untreated (blue) or TPA-treated (green), using Phospho-c-Fos (Ser32) (D82C12) XP® Rabbit mAb.
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells, serum-starved (left), TPA-treated (middle) or treated with TPA and λ-phosphatase (right), using Phospho-c-Fos (Ser32) (D82C12) XP® Rabbit mAb (green). Actin filaments have been labeled with DY-554 phalloidin (red).
Background
The Fos family of nuclear oncogenes includes c-Fos, FosB, Fos-related antigen 1 (FRA1), and Fos-related antigen 2 (FRA2) (1). While most Fos proteins exist as a single isoform, the FosB protein exists as two isoforms: full-length FosB and a shorter form, FosB2 (Delta FosB), that lacks the carboxy-terminal 101 amino acids (1-3). The expression of Fos proteins is rapidly and transiently induced by a variety of extracellular stimuli including growth factors, cytokines, neurotransmitters, polypeptide hormones, and stress. Fos proteins dimerize with Jun proteins (c-Jun, JunB, and JunD) to form Activator Protein-1 (AP-1), a transcription factor that binds to TRE/AP-1 elements and activates transcription. Fos and Jun proteins contain the leucine-zipper motif that mediates dimerization and an adjacent basic domain that binds to DNA. The various Fos/Jun heterodimers differ in their ability to transactivate AP-1 dependent genes. In addition to increased expression, phosphorylation of Fos proteins by Erk kinases in response to extracellular stimuli may further increase transcriptional activity (4-6). Phosphorylation of c-Fos at Ser32 and Thr232 by Erk5 increases protein stability and nuclear localization (5). Phosphorylation of FRA1 at Ser252 and Ser265 by Erk1/2 increases protein stability and leads to overexpression of FRA1 in cancer cells (6). Following growth factor stimulation, expression of FosB and c-Fos in quiescent fibroblasts is immediate, but very short-lived, with protein levels dissipating after several hours (7). FRA1 and FRA2 expression persists longer, and appreciable levels can be detected in asynchronously growing cells (8). Deregulated expression of c-Fos, FosB, or FRA2 can result in neoplastic cellular transformation; however, Delta FosB lacks the ability to transform cells (2,3).
