specificity :
This antibody was cross-adsorbed to unphosphorylated-N-WASP (S484/S485) peptide (without carrier) then affinity purified using phospho-N-WASP (S484/S485) peptide (without carrier). The antibody detects a 63 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of phosphorylated WASP on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of Jurkat cell lysate. In rat brain, A431, human endothelial and SKN-SH cells, this antibody detects a 65 kDa* protein corresponding to phosphorylated N-WASP.

other info1 :
Immunogen: Phospho-N-WASP (S484/S485) synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues around serine 484 and 485 of human N-WASP. The human WASP sequence has a similar peptide sequence surrounding serine 483 and 484.
products description :
Members of the Wiskott-Aldrich sydrome protein (WASP) family regulate the formation of actin-based cell structures in many cell types. These proteins contain C-terminal actin-binding domains that can stimulate actin polymerization. In addition, these proteins bind the ARP2/3 complex, which can nucleate actin polymerization at sites that lead to branched actin structures. WASP is expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells, while its homolog N-WASP is widely expressed. These proteins have 48% identity in human with the highest homology in the functional regions of these proteins. Phosphorylation regulates the activity of both proteins. Dual phosphorylation of WASP on serine 483 and 484 by casein kinases increase the affinity for the ARP2/3 complex. Thus, dual serine phosphorylation may be important for formation of actin-based structures in various cell types.

ncbi summary :
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins share similar domain structure, and are involved in transduction of signals from receptors on the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton. The presence of a number of different motifs suggests that they are regulated by a number of different stimuli, and interact with multiple proteins. Recent studies have demonstrated that these proteins, directly or indirectly, associate with the small GTPase, Cdc42, known to regulate formation of actin filaments, and the cytoskeletal organizing complex, Arp2/3. The WASL gene product is a homolog of WAS protein, however, unlike the latter, it is ubiquitously expressed and shows highest expression in neural tissues. It has been shown to bind Cdc42 directly, and induce formation of long actin microspikes. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
Function: Regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex. Binds to HSF1/HSTF1 and forms a complex on heat shock promoter elements (HSE) that negatively regulates HSP90 expression. Ref.11. Subunit structure: Binds actin and the Arp2/3 complex. Interacts with CDC42. Binds to SH3 domains of GRB2. Interacts with the C-terminal SH3 domain of DNMBP. Interacts with SNX9. Interacts with the WW domains of PRPF40A/FBP11. By similarity. Interacts with NOSTRIN. Interacts with Shigella flexneri protein icsA. The interaction with icsA enhances the affinity of WASL for Arp2/3, thus assembling a tight complex which has maximal activity in actin assembly. Interacts with E.coli EspF-like protein encoded on prophage U. Identified in a complex containing at least WASL, BAIAP2L1 and E.coli EspF-like protein encoded on prophage U. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.11. Subcellular location: Cytoplasm cytoskeleton. By similarity. Nucleus. By similarity. Note: Preferentially localized in the cytoplasm when phosphorylated and in the nucleus when unphosphorylated. Sequence similarities: Contains 1 CRIB domain.Contains 1 WH1 domain.Contains 2 WH2 domains.
