Description

Introduction to Recombinant Mus caroli Sp100

Sp100 is a nuclear antigen localized in subnuclear domains called nuclear dots (NDs) or PML bodies. The Mus caroli variant shares structural and functional similarities with its human homolog, including interferon responsiveness and involvement in autoimmune responses . Recombinant production enables study of its biochemical interactions and diagnostic applications.

Gene and Protein Features

  • Gene Structure: The Mus caroli Sp100 gene spans 52 kb with 17 exons. Its promoter contains an interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE), critical for cytokine-induced expression .

  • Isoforms: Splice variants include HNPP-box and HMG1-containing forms, influencing nuclear localization and protein interactions .

  • Molecular Weight:

    • Calculated MW: ~54 kDa (human Sp100-A isoform)

    • Apparent MW: 70–140 kDa (aberrant electrophoretic mobility due to acidic residues)

Expression Systems and Purification

ParameterDetails
Host SystemsSf9 insect cells , Escherichia coli
TagHexa-histidine (His-tag) or GST tag

Key Functions

  • Protein Interactions: Binds HP1 family proteins (e.g., CBX5) via PxVxL motifs and Epstein-Barr virus EBNA-LP .

  • Autoantibody Binding: Recognized by IgG autoantibodies in PBC patients .

  • Interferon Response: IFN-α/β/γ upregulates Sp100 expression, enlarging nuclear dots .

Study FocusFindingsSource
Interferon RegulationMurine Sp100 expression induced by IFN via ISRE; conserved in humans
Clinical DiagnosticsAnti-Sp100 antibodies detected in 34% of PBC patients and 13% of SLE cases
Antibody ApplicationsRecombinant Sp100 used in ELISA/Western blot with 1:2000–1:10,000 dilution

Clinical and Diagnostic Relevance

  • Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: Anti-Sp100 antibodies present in 10–30% of PBC cases but lack disease specificity .

  • Limitations: Also found in SLE, hepatitis, and collagen diseases, necessitating clinical context for diagnosis .

Applications in Research

  • Western Blotting: Detected in A431 and HeLa cell lysates at 70–140 kDa .

  • Immunofluorescence: Localizes to nuclear dots in IFN-treated cells .

  • ELISA: Coating concentration 0.5–0.9 µg/ml for autoantibody screening .

Target Background

Function
Sp100, along with PML, is a major component of PML bodies, involved in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. It acts as a transcriptional coactivator/corepressor for ETS1/ETS2, influencing angiogenesis. It may also regulate telomere lengthening, TP53-mediated transcription, FAS-mediated apoptosis, and viral infection through chromatin/transcriptional regulation.
