Description

Key Applications

  • IHC/IF: Detects RMDN3 in paraffin-embedded tissues (e.g., liver cancer, lung adenocarcinoma) and cell lines (U2OS) .

    • Example: Strong cytoplasmic staining in human testicular seminoma tissues (Fig. 5, ).

  • Flow Cytometry: Used to study RMDN3-VAPB interactions in mitochondrial ROS-induced ER-mitochondria contact sites (MERCs) .

  • Western Blot: Validates FITC conjugation efficiency and antibody specificity .

Research Findings

  • Role in MERCs: RMDN3 phosphorylation at T160 enhances binding to VAPB, promoting MERCs formation under mitochondrial oxidative stress. This facilitates lipid radical transfer to the ER, reducing mitochondrial toxicity .

  • Calcium Regulation: RMDN3 knockdown reduces mitochondrial calcium uptake during rotenone/antimycin A treatment .

  • Apoptosis: Overexpression induces apoptosis in keratinocytes, suggesting therapeutic relevance .

Conjugation Methodology

FITC conjugation involves:

  1. Antibody Preparation: Dialysis into reaction buffer (pH 9.5) to remove sodium azide .

  2. FITC Reaction: Incubation with FITC (40–80 µg per mg antibody) in DMSO for 1 hour .

  3. Purification: Gel filtration to remove unbound FITC .

  4. Quality Control:

    • F/P Ratio: Calculated using absorbance at 280 nm (protein) and 495 nm (FITC) .

    • Optimal F/P ratios: 3–6 FITC molecules per antibody to avoid quenching .

Validation Data

StudyKey Results
Mitochondrial ROS RMDN3-VAPB binding increased by 2.5-fold under antimycin A treatment (Fig. 3b).
IHC Specificity No cross-reactivity observed in negative controls across six tissue types.
Flow Cytometry FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies showed 95% specificity in A549 cells.

Limitations and Considerations

  • Species Reactivity: Limited to human samples; cross-reactivity with mouse/rat unconfirmed .

  • Storage Stability: Sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles; requires light-protected storage .

  • Kinase Interactions: The kinase responsible for RMDN3 T160 phosphorylation remains unidentified .

Target Background

Function
PTPIP51 plays a critical role in regulating cellular calcium homeostasis. It may also be involved in keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis. Overexpression of PTPIP51 has been shown to induce apoptosis.
Gene References Into Functions
  1. Research suggests that the VAPB-PTPIP51 tethers regulate autophagy. Overexpression of VAPB or PTPIP51, which strengthens endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria contacts, impairs autophagosome formation. Conversely, silencing VAPB or PTPIP51, which loosens these contacts, stimulates autophagosome formation. PMID: 28132811
  2. This review summarizes recent findings concerning the function, regulation, and protein complex formation of PTPIP51, with a focus on the involved signaling pathways and subcellular compartments. PMID: 27734150
  3. High PTPIP51 expression has been correlated with glioblastoma. PMID: 25862004
  4. PTPIP51's activity is regulated by its phosphorylation status, which also influences its subcellular localization. PMID: 24501773
  5. Studies have demonstrated that PTPIP51 interacts with 14-3-3beta and Raf-1 in vivo in a tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent manner. Additionally, it interacts with DAGKalpha and PKA in a tyrosine-dependent manner. PMID: 22544307
  6. In glioblastoma, PTPIP51 expression increases with the grade of malignancy, and it interacts with 14-3-3ss and PTP1B. PMID: 21972092
  7. PTPIP51 is phosphorylated by Lyn and c-Src kinases, but not dephosphorylated by PTP1B in acute myeloid leukemia. PMID: 21513978
  8. PTPIP51 expression is restricted to myeloid precursor cells undergoing differentiation. In blood cells, PTPIP51 expression is specifically observed in differentiating and mature neutrophil granulocytes. PMID: 20627780
  9. PTPIP51 may be involved in regulating cellular processes associated with differentiation, movement, or cytoskeletal organization. PMID: 15609043
  10. PTPIP51 is a mitochondrial protein with apoptosis-inducing function, and its N-terminal transmembrane domain is essential for both its mitochondrial targeting and its apoptotic functions. PMID: 16820967
  11. PTPIP51 and PTP1B play roles in the differentiation and apoptosis of the cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast, respectively. Additionally, PTPIP51 may serve as a signaling partner in angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. PMID: 18854601
  12. FAM82A2 is expressed in keratinocyte carcinoma and their surrounding stroma. PMID: 19012732
  13. Data strongly suggest a strong association between PTPIP51 expression and differentiation in human muscle cells. PMID: 19124842
  14. The methylation status of the PTPIP51 promoter appears to influence its expression, which is elevated in prostate carcinoma. PMID: 19691131
