Background for MRE11 antibody (pAb):
MRE11 (
ATLD or
HNGS1) is a component of the
MRN complex, which plays a central role in double-strand break (DSB) repair, DNA recombination, maintenance of telomere integrity and meiosis. The MRN complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and double-strand-specific 3′-5′ exonuclease activity, which are provided by
MRE11 (
ATLD or
HNGS1). Rad50 may be required to bind DNA ends and hold them in close proximity. This could facilitate searches for short or long regions of sequence homology in the recombining DNA templates, and may also stimulate the activity of DNA ligases and/or restrict the nuclease activity of
MRE11 (
ATLD or
HNGS1) to prevent nucleolytic degradation past a given point. The complex may also be required for
DNA damage signaling via activation of the ATM kinase. In telomeres, the MRN complex may modulate t-loop formation.
Immunogen for MRE11 antibody (pAb):
This antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to human MRE11.
Application Notes for MRE11 antibody (pAb):
This MRE11 antibody has been validated for use in Western blotting (1 - 2 µg/ml dilution). For optimal results, primary antibody incubations should be performed at room temperature. The addition of 0.1% Tween 20 to all Blotto solutions may also reduce background. Individual optimization may be required.
Buffer:
PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.
Positive Control:
Active Motif's
293 nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36033) can be used as a positive control for MRE11 antibody.
Compatible Secondary Antibodies:
Active Motif has developed a variety of high-quality secondary antibodies for most applications, with anti-rabbit and anti-mouse conjugates to a broad line of high-quality fluorescent molecules, as well as horse radish peroxidase (HRP).
