Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse, Monkey
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-ATRIP (Ser224) Antibody detects endogenous levels of ATRIP protein only when phosphorylated at Ser224.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phoshopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser224 of the human ATRIP protein.
Background
In response to genomic stress, the ATR interacting protein (ATRIP) binds and is phosphorylated by the DNA damage-and checkpoint-activated kinase ATR (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated and rad3-related). Both ATR and ATRIP are integral for checkpoint signaling and are critical in the DNA repair response (1-3). Direct interaction between ATRIP and replication protein A (RPA) at RPA-coated, single-stranded DNA results in the recruitment of phosphorylated ATR/ATRIP to stalled replication forks and sites of DNA damage (3). ATR/ATRIP coordinate DNA repair and cell cycle progression in conjunction with key regulatory proteins, such as Rad17 and the 9-1-1 complex (4). ATR associated with ATRIP can also be stimulated by topoisomerase II binding protein (TOPBP1), suggesting that ATRIP may regulate both ATR localization and activity (5).
Cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) may participate in the regulation of DNA damage response and cell cycle control through phosphorylation of ATRIP at Ser224 (6).
