- Description
- PA1-749 detects ataxin 7 protein from transfected cell lysate. PA1-749 has successfully been used in immunohistochemistry and Western blot procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~96 kDa protein representing human ataxin 7 in transfected COS-1 cells. The PA1-749 immunizing peptide corresponds to amino acid residues 1-17 from human ataxin 7. This sequence is completely conserved in mouse ataxin 7. This peptide (Cat. # PEP-217) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.

- Immunofluorescence analysis of Ataxin 7 was performed using 70% confluent log phase U-87 MG cells treated with 100 ng of Nocodazole for 16 hours. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Ataxin 7 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-749) at 2 µg/mL in 0.1% 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) a dilution of 1:2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green).

- Flow cytometry analysis of Ataxin 7 was performed using SH-SY5Y cells. Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were labeled with Ataxin 7 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (PA1-749, red histogram) or with rabbit isotype control (pink histogram) at 3-5 ug/million cells in 2.5% BSA. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit Secondary Antibody (A11008) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. The representative 10,000 cells were acquired and analyzed for each sample using an Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer. The purple histogram represents unstained control cells and the green histogram represents no-primary-antibody control..

- Figure 1. ATXN7 aggregates colocalize with PML bodies in SCA7 transgenic mice. Immunofluorescence analysis of cerebellar Purkinje cells (a) and retinal ganglion neurons (b-d) using antibodies against ATXN7 (affinity-purified polyclonal antibody 1261) and PML (chicken anti-PML antibody). Large ATXN7 aggregates sequestered PML bodies (a and b). In ganglion neurons, PML bodies were also surrounded by (b, yellow arrows), colocalized with (c, arrowheads), or juxtaposed to (d, white arrows) small ATXN7 aggregates. The same ganglion neuron on two different focal plans, shown in panels c and d, displayed distinct colocalization between PML bodies and ATXN7 aggregates. Bars, 5 mum.

- Figure 5. ATXN7 and Htt-exon1 are efficiently degraded in the presence of PML IV. (A) Western blot and filter assay of FL-74Q alone or coexpressed with PML IV or III in COS-7 cells. (top) Western blot (30 mug protein, anti-ATXN7 1C1, and anti-PML polyclonal). ATXN7 levels strongly decreased in the presence of PML IV (lane 2) but slightly increased with PML III (lane 3). (bottom) Pellet (P) or supernatant (S) fractions of cell extracts (30 mug protein) were filtered, and SDS-insoluble ATXN7 was revealed by anti-ATXN7 1C1. Coexpression of PML IV led to the disappearance of SDS-insoluble aggregates of mutant ATXN7 (lane 2), whereas PML III slightly increased ATXN7 (lane 3 compared with lane 1). (B) RT-PCR. mRNAs were extracted from cells expressing FL-74Q alone (lane 1) or combined with PML IV (lane 2) or III (lane 3). Primers specific to the SCA7 cDNA and the cyclophilin A (Cyclo A) reference cDNA were used for PCR. Coexpression of PML IV or III had no effect on mutant ATXN7 mRNA. (C) Western blot of cells expressing FL-10Q alone (lane 1) or coexpressed with PML IV (lane 2) or III (lane 3). PML IV decreased and PML III slightly increased ATXN7 levels (same antibodies as in A). (D) Western blot of mutant Htt-exon1 expressed in HeLa cells; Htt-exon1 (Ex1) with 125Q alone (lane 1) or with PML IV (lane 2).

- Figure 1 HDAC3 stabilizes ataxin-7 and enhances post-translational modifications. (A) Ataxin-7-10Q (1-266) and ataxin-7-92Q (1-266) were transiently transfected with HDAC constructs [ 2 - 8 ] in HEK293T cells for 72 hrs. Lysates were collected and separated via SDS-PAGE on 4-12% bis-tris gels. Western blot transfer and analysis with an antibody to ataxin-7 (PA1-749) revealed the presence of bands of expected molecular weight for the ataxin-7 stop constructs as well as bands of higher molecular weight indicated by asterisks, particularly evident in the HDAC3 co-tranfection. GAPDH was used as a loading control. (B) Ataxin-7-10Q, ataxin-7-10Q (1-266), ataxin-7-10Q (1-266) K257R, ataxin-7-92Q, ataxin-7-92Q (1-266) or ataxin-7-92Q (1-266) K257R were co-transfected with vector control or HDAC3 in HEK293T cells. Western blot analysis of cellular lysates with ataxin-7 (PA1-749) antibody revealed the presence of bands corresponding to the wild type, expanded and ataxin-7 1-266 stop mutant. Bands of higher molecular weight were dominant when ataxin-7 was co-transfected with HDAC3 (indicated by asterisks). Note that these bands are diminished in the SUMOylation-deficient ataxin-7 mutant (K257R). beta-actin was used as a loading control.

- Figure 3 HDAC3 alters ataxin-7 subcellular localization. (A,B) Expression of ataxin-7 in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of HEK293T cells. Cells were transiently transfected with ataxin-7-10Q (wild type), ataxin-7-92Q (expanded) (A) , or the 1-266 N-terminal fragment of wild type and expanded ataxin-7 (B) and cotransfected with vector control (v) or HDAC3. Lysates were subjected to subcellular fractionation followed by western blot analysis of nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions. Ataxin-7 antibody revealed the presence of bands corresponding to the wild type, expanded and stop mutant ataxin-7. Bands of higher molecular weight of ataxin-7 are evident when ataxin-7 is co-expressed with HDAC3 (indicated by asterisks) and present in both nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions. Co-transfection of HDAC3 was confirmed by immunoblotting (data not shown). To ensure equal loading, immunoblotting with GAPDH was used for the cytoplasmic fractions and poly-ADP ribose (PARP) for the nuclear fraction. (C) Immunocytochemistry of transfected HEK293T cells. Cells were fixed and stained with antibodies to ataxin-7 conjugated to Alexa 488 (green), HDAC3 conjugated to Alexa 555 (red), and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Only the ataxin-7 and DAPI expression are shown, although co-transfection of HDAC3 was determined by visualization of the red track when appropriate. Cells were imaged using confocal microscopy to elucidate colocalization of ataxin-7 and DAPI. Scale bar represents 5 mum. (D) Quantific

(A) Ataxin-7-10Q, ataxin-7-10Q (1-266), ataxin-7-92Q or ataxin-7-92Q (1-266) were cotransfected with vector control or HDAC3 or a catalytically-inactive mutant of HDAC3, HDAC3 (H134A/H135A), in HEK293T cells. Western blot analysis of cellular lysates with ataxin-7 (PA1-749) antibody revealed the presence of bands corresponding to the wild type, expanded and stop mutant ataxin-7. Bands of higher molecular weight that are detected when ataxin-7 is co-expressed with HDAC3 (indicated by asterisks) are also present when ataxin-7 is co-expressed with the catalytically-inactive HDAC3 mutant. Co-expression of HDAC3 was confirmed by immunoblotting (HDAC3 antibody sc17795; data not shown) and GAPDH was used as a loading control. (B) Immunocytochemistry of HEK293T cells transiently transfected with ataxin-7-10Q (wild type) or ataxin-7-92Q (expanded), and co-transfected with HDAC3 or the catalytically-inactive mutant HDAC3 (H134A/H135A). Cells were fixed and stained with antibodies to ataxin-7 conjugated to Alexa 488 (green), HDAC3 conjugated to Alexa 555 (red), and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Cells were imaged using confocal microscopy to elucidate colocalization of ataxin-7 and HDAC3, which can be detected by yellow co-staining. Scale bar represents 5 mum wild type.
