Application Notes
Applications Validated by Active Motif:
WB*: 0.5 - 2 µg/ml
ChIP: 20 µg per ChIP
ChIP-Seq: 20 µg each
IF: 1:500 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.
For RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser2, we also offer AbFlex® RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser2 Recombinant Antibody (rAb). For details, see Catalog No. 91115.

RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser2 antibody (mAb) tested by ChIP.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 10 µg of chromatin from human myeloma LP1 cells and 20 µg RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser2 antibody. ChIP DNA was used in qPCR with the control primer pairs or gene-specific primer pairs as indicated. Data are presented as Binding Events Detected per 1000 Cells using Active Motif's Epigenetic Services normalization scheme which accounts for primer efficiency and the amount of chromatin used in the ChIP reaction.
RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser2 antibody (mAb) tested by ChIP-Seq.
ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with chromatin from 2.3 million HL-60 cells and 10 ug of antibody. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq and 22 million sequence tags were mapped to identify RNA pol II phospho Ser2 binding. Data is compared to ChIP-Seq data using a phospho Ser5 antibody (61085). ChIP-Seq data from three specific genes is shown as an example. The Pol II phospho Ser2 antibody detects polymerase more toward the 3´ end of the genes and the phospho Ser5 antibody detects Pol II more at the 5´ end of the genes.

ChIP-Seq was performed in a bladder cancer cell line using RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser5 antibody (Cat. No. 61085) and RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser2 antibody (Cat. No. 61083). The average ChIP-Seq signal across all genes is shown in the graphic. As expected Pol II phosphoserine 5 is enriched at promoters and phosphoserine 2 is enriched toward the 3’ end of genes.

Background
RNA pol II (RNA polymerase II) is responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. RNA pol II contains a carboxy terminal domain composed of heptapeptide repeats that are essential for polymerase activity. These repeats contain serine and threonine residues that are phosphorylated in actively transcribing RNA polymerase. In addition, RNA pol II, in combination with several other polymerase subunits, form the DNA binding domain of the polymerase, a groove in which the DNA template is transcribed into RNA.
During the transcription cycle, the CTD of the large subunit of RNA pol II is reversibly phosphorylated. RNA pol II containing unphosphorylated CTD is recruited to the promoter, whereas the hyperphosphorylated CTD form is involved in active transcription. Phosphorylation occurs at two sites within the heptapeptide repeat, at serine 2, serine 5 and serine 7. RNA pol II phosphorylated at serine 2 is enriched over the gene body and is associated with transcriptional elongation.
Positive Control
Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for RNA Pol II CTD phospho Ser2 antibody.
qPCR Primers
Active Motif's Human Positive Control Primer Set ACTB-1 (Cat. No. 71003) and Human Negative Control Primer Set 1 (Cat. No. 71001) have been validated for performing qPCR and endpoint PCR when this antibody has been used for ChIP on human samples. For ChIP experiments with this antibody on mouse samples, the Mouse Positive Control Primer Set Actb-1 (Cat. No. 71015) and Mouse Negative Control Primer Set 1 (Cat. No. 71011) have been validated for both qPCR and endpoint PCR.
Chromatin IP Assays
This antibody has been validated for use in ChIP and/or ChIP-Seq, and can be used with Active Motif's ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit or our magnetic bead-based ChIP-IT® Express Kits.
