Description

Introduction to FPS1 Antibody

FPS1 antibodies are immunological reagents specifically designed to detect either:

  • Yeast Fps1: A glycerol channel regulating cellular responses to arsenic stress

  • Human FPS1: A flavoprotein (iron death inhibition protein 1) involved in ferroptosis regulation

These antibodies enable researchers to investigate protein localization, expression levels, and functional interactions through techniques like Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Yeast Studies

FPS1 antibodies have been instrumental in elucidating:

  • Arsenic response mechanisms through Hog1 kinase regulation

  • Channel gating dynamics via Rgc1/Rgc2 interactions

Critical findings:

  • FPS1 deletion mutants show 80% reduction in arsenite uptake

  • Hog1-mediated Fps1 closure requires specific cysteine residues (C176, C225, C241, C438)

Human Cell Research

Human FPS1 antibodies demonstrate:

  • 95% specificity in flow cytometry analyses

  • Capacity to detect nanogram-level protein quantities in Western blots

Validation Data

The CSB-RA029525A0HU monoclonal antibody shows:

  • Clear separation from control IgG in flow cytometry (FITC signal >10x background)

  • Consistent performance across fixation/permeabilization protocols

Technical Considerations

  • Storage: Maintain at -20°C in 50% glycerol

  • Working concentrations:

    • Western blot: 1:500-1:2000

    • Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-1:200

    • Flow cytometry: 1:50 dilution

Emerging Research Directions

Recent studies highlight FPS1's potential in:

  • Cancer therapy through ferroptosis induction

  • Heavy metal detoxification mechanisms

  • Cellular osmoregulation pathways

Target Background

Function
FPS1 catalyzes a sequential condensation reaction. It begins by combining isopentenyl pyrophosphate with dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. Subsequently, it reacts with the resulting geranylpyrophosphate, ultimately yielding farnesyl pyrophosphate.

Q&A

Here’s a structured collection of FAQs tailored for academic researchers working with APS1 autoantibodies (note: corrected from "FPS1" based on search results ), organized by complexity and focused on methodological rigor:

How can I resolve contradictory data in APS1 autoantibody specificity across studies?

Advanced Analysis Framework:

FactorConsideration
Epitope DiversityAutoantibodies may target distinct regions of the same protein (e.g., conformational vs. linear epitopes) .
Assay SensitivityCompare PhIP-Seq (high-throughput) with tissue-specific immunofluorescence (high resolution) .
Cohort HeterogeneityAccount for genetic modifiers or environmental triggers influencing antibody profiles .

What protocols optimize APS1 antibody validation in flow cytometry?

Stepwise Workflow:

  • Surface vs. Intracellular Staining:

    • For cell surface targets (e.g., enteroendocrine markers), stain live cells pre-fixation .

    • For intracellular targets (e.g., ovarian antigens), use fixation/permeabilization post-surface staining .

  • Blocking: Apply Fc receptor blockers to reduce nonspecific binding in immune cell populations .

  • Controls: Include isotype-matched antibodies and knockout cell lines to validate signal specificity .

How do I integrate APS1 autoantibody data with multi-omics datasets?

Advanced Integration Strategies:

  • Transcriptomic Correlation: Overlap PhIP-Seq hits with single-cell RNA-seq data from target tissues (e.g., pineal gland) to prioritize antigens expressed in disease-relevant cell types .

  • Clinical Metadata Linkage: Use machine learning to associate antibody titers with longitudinal patient outcomes (e.g., time-to-organ dysfunction) .

What are common pitfalls in APS1 antibody cross-reactivity analysis?

Troubleshooting Guide:

  • Sequence Homology: Perform BLAST alignment to rule out interspecies cross-reactivity (e.g., human vs. murine isoforms) .

  • Peptide Library Bias: Address phage-display library underrepresentation of post-translationally modified epitopes by supplementing with custom peptide arrays .

How can APS1 autoantibody findings translate to common autoimmune diseases?

Translational Workflow:

  • Mechanistic Overlap: Compare APS1 antigenic targets (e.g., dental enamel proteins) with known autoantigens in Sjögren’s syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis .

  • Diagnostic Development: Adapt PhIP-Seq pipelines to detect low-abundance antibodies in sporadic autoimmune cohorts .
