- Description
- The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated FAK. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a FAK-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at tyrosine 861.

- Upregulation and Antibody-Peptide Competition. Extracts of 3T3-L1 cells unstimulated or stimulated with 50 ng/mL LIF for 15 minutes (2-4) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF. The membrane was blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4°C, then incubated with the JAK2 (pYpY1007/1008) antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 1% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 2), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (3), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (4). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F (ab')2 anti-rabbit IgG HRP-conjugate and signals were detected using the Pierce SuperSignal™ method. The data show that only the phosphopeptide corresponding to JAK2 (pYpY1007/1008) blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. The data also show the up-regulation of JAK2 (pYpY1007/1008) with LIF treatment in this cell system. (Product # 44-626G).

- Immunofluorescence analysis of Phospho-FAK (Tyr861) was done on 70% confluent log phase A549 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Phospho-FAK (Tyr861) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # 44-626G) at 1:250 dilution in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate (Product # A27034) at a dilution of 1:2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor® 555 Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d is a merged image showing Cell Junctional localization.

The first column are top views of superficial cells of the animal cap in intact embryos and the second column are views from sagittally sectioned embryos that reveal the localization of each construct on the apical surface of superficial cells. Apical region of superficial blastomeres is to the right. (A) The FERM domain shows strong plasma membrane localization in the top view and is strongly localized to the apical surface. (B) Endogenous phosphorylated FAK shows very strong plasma membrane localization in the top view and is localized on the basolateral and apical surface of the cell. (C) Full length FAK with the point mutation K38A exhibits strong membrane localization. (D) Deletion of the FERM domain (HA-Delta375 FAK construct) abolishes the plasma membrane localization of FAK. Scale bars: 25 um.
