Plant/Algal cell antibodies / Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

product information

PEPC (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase), EC=4.1.1.31, belongs to an enzyme family of carboxy-lyases that is catalyzing adding fo carbon dioxide to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to form oxaloacetate.  Alternative names: PEPCase 1, PEPCase 3, PEPC 1, PEPC 3

KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide well conserved PEPC1 and sequences from different plant species including Arabidopsis thaliana Q9MAH0  (PEPC 1), Q84VW9 (PEPC 3). The peptide chosen to elicit this antibody is also perfectly conserved in bacterial type of this enzyme NP_177043.2 (PEPC 4)

store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please, remember to spin tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from lyophilized material adhering to the cap or sides of the tubes.

application example

5 µg of total protein from (1) Arabidopsis thaliana leaf extracted with Protein Extration Buffer, PEB (AS08 300), (2) Spinacia oleracea  total cell, extracted with PEB, (3 )Hordeum vulgare total cell extracted with PEB, (4) Zea mays total cell extracted with PEB, were separated on  4-12% NuPage (Invitrogen) LDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked immediately following transfer in 2% ECL Advance blocking reagent (GE Healthcare) in 20 mM Tris, 137 mM sodium chloride pH 7.6 with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 (TBS-T) for 1h at room temperature with agitation. Blots were incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 10 000 for 1h at room temperature with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly twice, then washed once for 15 min and 3 times for 5 min in TBS-T at room temperature with agitation. Blots were incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated, from Abcam) diluted to 1:50 000 in 2% ECL Advance blocking solution for 1h at room temperature with agitation. The blots were washed as above and developed for 5 min with ECL Advance detection reagent according the manufacturers instructions. Images of the blots were obtained using a CCD imager (FluorSMax, Bio-Rad) and Quantity One software (Bio-Rad).
