Phospho-PNK1 (Ser114/Thr118) Antibody detects endogenous levels of PNK1 only when phosphorylated on Ser114 and Thr118.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues around Ser114 and Thr118 of human PNK1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
PNK (polynucleotide kinase) is a DNA repair enzyme that participates in single strand break repair and non-homologous end rejoining (NHEJ) for double strand breaks. PNK possesses a 5'-DNA kinase activity and a 3'-DNA phosphatase activity (1,2). It has three domains, a C-terminal kinase domain, a central phosphatase domain, and an N-terminal forkhead associated (FHA) domain that is responsible for protein-protein interactions. Reduction in expression of PNK by RNAi sensitizes cells to ionizing radiation and topoisomerase I inhibitors (3)
Phosphorylation of PNK1 at Ser114/ Thr118 was independently identified at Cell Signaling Technology (CST) using PhosphoScan®, CST's MS/MS platform for phosphorylation site discovery. Phosphorylation of PNK1 at Ser114/ Thr118 was observed in extracts of various cell lines following UV treatment.
