Antibody cocktail for global detection of ALS-related SOD1 mutants Anti-SOD1 (ALS-related mutants) Cocktail, Human, Rat-Mono (MS785/MS27)

Funakoshi Co.,Ltd.

Our antibody cocktail (#FDV-0021A) contains two clones against SOD1 mutants. SOD1 mutants are thought to be one of the causes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and this cocktail specifically recognizes the three-dimensional structure commonly found in SOD1 mutants. The cocktail can detect more than 100 SOD1 mutants by immunostaining or western blotting after immunoprecipitation.
This antibody cocktail is also useful for SOD1 studies in zinc-deficient ER stress. ☞ Please click here for more information.

immunoprecipitation

SOD1 mutants detected by immunoprecipitation

SOD1 wild type or mutants wrere expressed in HEK293. After lysis, add each antibody (MS785: 5 μg/mL, MS27: 2 μg/mL, MS785/MS27 cocktail: 1 μg/mL), and incubate for 12 hours, then immunoprecipitate with Protein G-beads. Both MS785 and MS27 bound SOD1 mutants specifically, but not wild-type (WT). Neither MS785 nor MS27 single detected some specific mutants which have the mutation on each epitope. MS785/MS27 cocktail overcame this problem.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and SOD1

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy of skeletal muscles throughout a body due to motor neuron cell death. About 90% of ALS cases are nonheritable, however about 10% are genetic, and about 20 genes have been identified as responsible genes. Among them, mutation of oxidoreductase SOD1 (Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase) is the most common cause of ALS, and transgenic mice expressing SOD1 mutants have been used as animal models of ALS. Pathophysiological mechanism of ALS caused by SOD1 mutations are still unclear, then it is expected to elucidate.

SOD1 is a metalloenzyme with copper and zinc ions in its active center, and degrades reactive oxygen species in cells. SOD1 is a relatively small protein of 154 amino acids (human) with 24 kDa, but more than 100 mutants have been reported (Fig. 1), and most of mutants have no effect on the enzyme activity that degrades reactive oxygen species. Therefore, it is believed that there are factors other than enzyme activity that contribute to the pathogenesis of ALS, and toxic gain of function associated with mutations is the most likely explanation.

SOD1 mutation point

Although wild-type SOD1 originally forms dimers, Professor Hidenori Ichijo and co-workers have clarified the following points about SOD1 mutants:

  • More than 100 different SOD1 variants share a common conformation that differs from wild type (Fig. 2).
  • SOD1 mutants acquire cytotoxicity by binding Derlin-1, a component protein of ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery protein in endoplasmic reticulum.

Furthermore, they succeeded in developing rat monoclonal antibodies clone MS785 and MS27, which specifically bind to the three-dimensional structure found in SOD1 mutants. These antibodies are expected to be an excellent tool for investigating pathophysiological roles of SOD1 mutants in ALS patients.

Features

  • Antibody cocktail of SOD1 rat monoclonal antibody, clone MS785 and MS27
    ※ Clone MS785 and MS27 can be purchased separately.
  • Clones MS785 and MS27 recognize monomeric conformation commonly found in SOD1 mutants. More than 100 SOD1 mutants have been detected after immunoprecipitation. ☞ Please click here for validated SOD1 mutants.
  • It can detected SOD1 mutants specifically by immunocytochemistry.
  • It can detect conformational changes in wild-type SOD1 under zinc-deficient conditions, which may be one cause of endoplasmic reticulum stress. It is also useful for endoplasmic reticulum stress research and basic research on SOD1. ☞ Please click here for more information.
  • Application : Immunoprecipitation & Immunostaining: detects SOD1 mutants, ELISA: detects SOD1 mutants (for details, please see ☞ Original Paper 2), Western blot: detects both SOD1 mutants and wild type

    • ※ Note : In the denatured condition, not only SOD1 mutants but also wild-type are detected. Please be careful to avoid protein denaturation and do not use denaturing agents such as SDS.

Difference between clone MS785 and MS27

Clone MS785 MS27
Type Rat monoclonal antibody
Subtype IgG2b/κ IgG2a/κ
Antigen Human SOD1 6-16 amino acids Human SOD1 30-40 amino acids
Reactivity Human
Fromat Protein G purified (0.5 mg/ml), Buffer: 50% glycerol / PBS
  • Both clones can detect a wide range of SOD1 mutants, however they cannot detect variants with mutations in each epitope.
  • Because of the complementarity between MS785 and MS27, the cocktail antibody can complement detection of epitope variants.

Application data

Detection of SOD1 mutants by immunocytochemistry

Flag-tagged SOD1 wild type (WT) or G93A mutant were expressed in HEK293 cells, then immunostained with 1μg/mL MS785, MS27 or MS785/MS27 cocktail (Red) and FLAG antibody (Green). Both wild-type and G93A mutant were seen with FLAG antibody, but neither MS785, MS27, nor MS785/27 cocktail reacted with the wild-type but only with mutant.

Zinc deficiency and SOD1 conformational change

ALS is also considered as an ER-stress disease. Zinc-deficiency is one of the causes of ER-stress and depletion of zinc from SOD1 induces conformational change dramatically. Under the zinc-deficient condition, endogenous wild-type SOD1 has a conformation similar to ALS-related mutants. Actually both MS785 and MS27 could recognize wild-type SOD1 under the zinc-deficiency specifically. These antibodies are also powerful tools to investigate zinc-related ER-stress research as well.

Detection of endogenous SOD1 wild type under ER-stress

This antibody can detect dynamic conformational changes in wild-type SOD1 during zinc deficiency. It is useful not only for ALS research but also for basic SOD1 research.

  • Endogenous wild-type SOD1 has been detected in serum deficient conditions or when treated with the zinc chelator TPEN.
  • Detectable with MS785, MS27 or the cocktail.
example under Zinc deficiency

HEK293 cells were treated with 10 μM TPEN, zinc chelator, for 8 hours. After cell lysis, immunoprecipitated with MS785, MS27 or MS785/MS27 cocktail antibody. Zinc deficiency caused endogenous wild-type SOD1 to be detected by MS785 and MS27 as well as SOD1 mutants.
