Description

Applications in Research

The antibody is validated for multiple techniques:

  • Western Blot: Detects phosphorylated BCR in lysates of cells expressing BCR or BCR-ABL.

  • Immunohistochemistry: Localizes phosphorylated BCR in tissue sections (e.g., brain, tumor samples).

  • Immunofluorescence: Visualizes phosphorylated BCR in cellular compartments (e.g., synapses, axons).

  • ELISA: Quantifies phosphorylated BCR in solution, enabling high-throughput studies .

3.1. BCR-ABL Oncogenic Signaling

The antibody has been pivotal in studying the BCR-ABL fusion protein, a hallmark of CML. Phosphorylation at Tyr360 is critical for BCR-ABL’s oncogenic activity. For example:

  • Jak2 Inhibition: Jak2 phosphorylates Tyr360 in BCR-ABL, and its inhibition reduces phosphorylation at this site, correlating with diminished BCR-ABL levels in CML cells .

  • MEK1/2 Pathway: MEK1/2 inhibitors suppress Tyr360 phosphorylation, enhancing the efficacy of arsenic trioxide (ATO) in TKI-resistant CML by restoring BCR’s tumor-suppressive functions .

3.2. Normal BCR Function

In non-transformed cells, BCR regulates small GTPases (e.g., Rac1, Cdc42) via its GAP and GEF domains. Tyr360 phosphorylation modulates these activities, with implications for neuronal signaling and keratinocyte differentiation .

Cross-Reactivity and Specificity

The antibody exhibits strict specificity for phosphorylated Tyr360, as confirmed by blocking assays with phosphopeptides . Cross-reactivity with non-phosphorylated BCR or other proteins is negligible, ensuring reliable detection in complex biological samples.

Clinical Relevance

Research using this antibody has unveiled therapeutic targets for CML and related leukemias. For instance:

  • MEK1/2 Inhibitors: Combined with ATO, these drugs synergistically reduce Tyr360 phosphorylation and enhance apoptosis in TKI-resistant cells .

  • ABL1 Localization: Phosphorylation at Tyr360 influences ABL1’s nuclear localization, which is critical for its tumor-suppressive functions .

Target Background

Function
This protein possesses a unique structure with two opposing regulatory activities toward small GTP-binding proteins. The C-terminus features a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain, which stimulates GTP hydrolysis by RAC1, RAC2, and CDC42. It accelerates the intrinsic rate of GTP hydrolysis of RAC1 or CDC42, leading to down-regulation of the active GTP-bound form. The central Dbl homology (DH) domain functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that modulates the GTPases CDC42, RHOA, and RAC1. It promotes the conversion of CDC42, RHOA, and RAC1 from the GDP-bound to the GTP-bound form. The amino terminus contains an intrinsic kinase activity. It acts as a crucial negative regulator of neuronal RAC1 activity. It regulates macrophage functions, including CSF1-directed motility and phagocytosis, through the modulation of RAC1 activity. It plays a major role as a RHOA GEF in keratinocytes, being involved in focal adhesion formation and keratinocyte differentiation.
