Antibodies to α-internexin are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Some neurons express only α-internexin and no other neurofilament subunit and α-internexin is expressed earlier in development than the other neurofilament subunits (1,2). Antibodies to α-internexin can also be useful in the diagnostics of neurofilament accumulations seen in certain neurological diseases, such as neurofilament inclusion body disease (3). Figure: Coomassie brilliant blue stained SDS- PAGE gel of various recombinant proteins. His- tagged full length human α-internexin, was expressed and purified from E. coli BL21 using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. 1μg of pure protein was run on each lane. The lane indicated with “α-int” contains the α-internexin protein. The other lanes show recombinant His- tagged peripherin (Peri), vimentin (Vim) and neurofilament NF-L (NF-L) as indicated. Protein molecular weight standards are in the first lane and apparent molecular weights are as indicated. Protein Characteristics: A cDNA encoding full length human α-internexin was inserted into an eukaryotic expression vector which adds an N-terminal in frame His-tag.

It is expressed only in neurons and in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is down-regulated in many neurons as development proceeds. On SDS-PAGE gels it runs with an apparent molecular weight of 64 to 66 kDa, with some species variability, although the real molecular weight is about 55 kDa. As with other neurofilament subunits the presence of highly negatively charged sequences results in reduction of SDS-PAGE mobility. Many classes of mature neurons contain α-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons α-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to α-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of α-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage. In addition recent studies show a marked up-regulation of α-internexin during neuronal regeneration (2). The use of antibodies to this protein in the study of brain tumors has not been examined to date, but is likely to be of interest.

Biomarkers of axonal degeneration have the potential to improve our capacity to predict and monitor neurological outcome in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Neurofilament proteins, one of the major proteins expressed within neurons and axons, have been detected in cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples from MS patients and are now being actively investigated for their utility as prognostic indicators of disease progression in MS. In this paper, we summarize the current literature on neurofilament structure, assembly, and degeneration and discuss their potential utility as biomarkers for monitoring neurological decline in MS. We also discuss the need to further develop sensitive methods for assaying neurofilaments in blood to improve clinical applicability.

The Nop1p protein is 327 amino acids in size (34.5kDa), is essential for yeast viability, and is localized in the nucleoli (1). The systematic name for S. cerevisiae Nop1 is YDL014W, and it is now known to be part of the small subunit processome complex, involved in the processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA. Nop1p is the yeast homologue of a protein apparently found in all eukaryotes and archea generally called fibrillarin. Fibrillarin/Nop1p is extraordinarily conserved, so that the yeast and human proteins are 67% identical, and the human protein can functionally replace the yeast protein. This means that suitably cross-reactive antibodies to Nop1p/fibrillarin, like MCA-38F3, can be used to reveal nucleoli and study fibrillarin/Nop1p in all eukaryotes and archea tested to date. Human fibrillarin has been characterized (accession P22087) and the human fibrillarin gene is located on chromosome 19 (19q13.1). Fibrillarin/Nop1p proteins have been cloned and sequenced from several other species (e.g. Mouse, accession P35550, Xenopus accession P22232, C. elegans accession Q22053, and S. pombe accession P35551. The N terminal ~80 amino acids contain multiple copies based on the peptide RGG, or arginine-glycine-glycine, sometimes referred to as GAR repeats, characteristic of the GAR family of molecules. The remaining ~240 amino acids consist of the so called fibrillarin domain.

NF-H is the neurofilament heavy or high molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at 200-220kDa in the heavily phosphorylated axonal form. The molecule has an unusual and interesting region consisting of multiple Lysine-Serine-Proline peptides, about 40 of these in human. These peptide repeats are heavily phosphorylated on the Serine residues in axons. Enzymatic removal of these phosphate groups will increase the SDS-PAGE mobility to about 160kDa, likely due to protein conformational changes due to the removal of charge (2). Even the non-phosphorylated form runs aberrantly on SDS-PAGE, as the real molecular weight of NF-H is about 110kDa, with some variation in different species. This is likely due to an unusually high content of charged amino acids. Non-phosphorylated forms of NF-H are found in dendrites and perikarya and early in development, but the majority of NF- H in the adult is this heavily phosphorylated axonal form. Our preparation was isolated from cow spinal cord using a modification of the method of Leung and Liem (3), which purifies out the heavily phosphorylated axonal form, often referred to as pNF-H. The HGNC name for this protein is NEFH.

The prototype for these fluorescent proteins is Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is a ~27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. GFP was the basis of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien, specifically “for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP”. GFP was shown to fluoresce on contact with molecular oxygen, requiring no other cofactors, and so can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. The mCherry protein is derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4). We expressed the mCherry protein sequence shown in reference 4 in bacteria, purified out the mCherry and raised a rabbit polyclonal antibody.

They are polymerized from a dimeric subunit made of one a subunit and one b tubulin subunit. Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein t (tau) and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP2 is made up of two ~280 kDa apparent molecular weight bands referred to as MAP2a and MAP2b. Lower molecular weight forms, usually called MAP2c and MAP2d corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternate transcription, and all share a C-terminal sequence which includes either three or four microtubule binding peptide sequences, which are very similar to those found in the related microtubule binding protein t (tau). MAP2 isoforms are expressed only in neuronal cells and specifically in the perikarya and dendrites of these cells. Antibodies to MAP2 are therefore excellent markers on neuronal cells, their perikarya and neuronal dendrites. In contrast t (tau) is found predominantly in neuronal axons. The immunogen for this antibody is comprised of three peptide constructs spanning the projection domain of MAP2 (aa 377-1505), specifically our products Prot-r- MAP2-P1, Prot-r-MAP2-P2 and Prot-r-MAP2-P3.

Fox is an acronym of "Feminizing locus on X". The mammalian genome contains three genes homologous to C. elegans Fox-1, called Fox1, Fox2 and Fox3. The Fox-1 protein and mammalian homologues are all about 46kDa in size, each of which includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif. This motif corresponds to a small ~70 amino acid structure consisting of 4 β-strands and two α-helices. An alternate name for Fox3 is hexaribonucleotide binding protein 3, and these proteins are believed to have a role in the regulation of mRNA splicing. Much interest has focused on Fox3 as a result of the recent finding that this protein corresponds to NeuN, a neuronal nuclear antigen. NeuN was first described in 1994 by Mullen et al. (2), who raised a series of monoclonal antibodies to mouse antigens with the original intent of finding species specific markers. In the event they obtained a clone, called mAb A60, which proved to bind an antigen expressed in neuronal nuclei and to a lesser extent the cytoplasm of neuronal cells, and which appeared to work on all vertebrates. A few neuronal cell types were not recognized by the antibody, such as cerebellar Purkinje cells, olfactory mitral cells and retinal photoreceptors, but no non neuronal cells were recognized.

It has a important role in the targeting of proteins for proteolytic degradation. Proteins to be degraded are covalently coupled to the C-terminus of ubiquitin by means of ubiquitin ligases. The ubiquitin itself is frequently also ubiquitinated, producing a polyubiquitin chain. The polyubquitinated complex is then recognized by a complex of degradative enzymes which together form the proteosome. Interestingly, ubiquitin also becomes covalently bonded to many types of pathological inclusions seen in serious human disease states which appear to be resistant to normal degradation, so that ubiquitin antibodies are very useful for studies of these inclusions. For example the neurofibrillary tangles and paired helical filaments diagnostic of Alzheimer's disease, the Lewy bodies seen in Parkinson's disease, and Pick bodies found in Pick's disease are all heavily ubiquitinated and can all be readily visualized with ubiquitin antibodies of appropriate specificity. Ubi-1 has become very widely used for such studies. Left: Blots of mono and polyubiquitin (lane 1), monoubiquitin only (2), and 100 μg total wet weight of cerebellum , cortex and brain stem respectively (lane 3-5). Material was run out on 20% SDS-PAGE and transferred electrophoretically to PVDF. Right: MCA-Ubi-1 staining of cerebral cortex of an Alzheimer patient. Neurofibrillary tangles and dystrophic neurites associated with senile plaques stain strongly with this antibody.
