Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity SSRP1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total SSRP1 protein. This antibody also cross-reacts with a protein of unknown origin at 150 kDa. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu148 of human SSRP1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Suppressor of Ty-16 (SPT16) and structure-specific recognition protein-1 (SSRP1) are subunits of the facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) complex that is essential for transcription elongation (1,2). FACT facilitates RNA polymerase-dependent transcription of chromatin templates by destabilizing the nucleosomes within the open reading frames of active genes (3-5). FACT destabilizes the nucleosomes, which would otherwise act as barriers to RNA polymerase transcription activity, by disrupting histone-histone and histone-DNA contacts that lead to the eviction of the histone H2A-H2B dimer (2,3,6). FACT may also function as a histone chaperone to reassemble nucleosomes after RNA polymerase passage (7). In addition to transcription, FACT activity has been shown to have a role in DNA replication in yeast and in DNA repair by contributing to the activation of p53 by CK2 and by facilitating histone H2AX-H2B exchange upon DNA damage (8,9).
