Anti-Methyl-Glutamine

~51 kDa observed (for methylated CHD5). Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).

Glutamine methylation occurs on translation termination factors and ribosomal proteins. Protein methylation has been reported to affect various cellular processes including protein stability, protein-protein interaction, and protein localization. Methylation of histone is suggested as a platform to recruit and regulate other chromatin-related factors. Glutamine methylation is brought about by the action of protein glutamine methyltransferase HEMK2 that specifically requires a GQX3R motif for methylation activity. This antibody was tested for glutamine methylation in chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 5 (CHD5) that contains multiple PHD and chromo domains and is reported to function as a tumor suppressor.

KLH-conjugated Gly-Gln (Me)-Gly tripeptide.

Anti-Methyl-Glutamine, Cat. No. ABS2185, is a rabbit polyclonal antibody that detects glutamine methylated proteins. It has been tested for use in Western Blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:3,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Methyl-Glutamine in CHD5 unmethylated & CHD5 methylated recombinant lysate (Coutesy of, Dr. Kusevic, Dr. Kuditipudi and Dr. Jeltsch at University Stuttgart, Germany).

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Methyl-Glutamine in in-vitro methylated CHD5, NUT, and eRF1 proteins (Kusevic, D., et. al. (2016). J Biol Chem. 291(12):6124-33).

This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects methylglutamine in proteins.

Antiserum was depleted by running over unmethylated protein column.
