Abstract

Immunoprecipitation (IP) represents a widely utilized biochemical method to isolate a specific protein from a complex mixture taking advantage of an antibody that specifically recognizes that particular target molecule. This procedure is extremely versatile and can be applied to concentrate a specific protein, to identify interacting partners in complex with it or to detect post-translational modifications. The mitotic protein monoclonal 2 (MPM-2) is an antibody originally raised against extracts of synchronized mitotic HeLa cells to identify proteins selectively present in mitotic, and not in interphase-cells (Davis et al., 1983). MPM-2 recognizes phosphorylated serine or threonine residues followed by proline (pS/T-P), consensus epitopes generated by the concerted action of proline-directed protein kinases and phosphatases (Lu et al., 2002). These reversible phosphorylation events have emerged to control various cellular processes by promoting conformational changes on the target that are not simply due to the phosphorylation event per se. These motifs, once phosphorylated, are able to recruit Pin1 (Peptidyl-prolyl Isomerase NIMA interacting protein 1) (Lu et al., 1996; Lu and Zhou, 2007), a chaperone which drives the cis/trans isomerization reaction on the peptide bond, switching the substrate between functionally diverse conformations (Lu, 2004; Wulf et al., 2005). This protocol describes a general MPM-2 based immunoprecipitation strategy using the scaffolding molecule postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) (Chen et al., 2005), a neuronal Pin1 target (Antonelli et al., 2016), as an example to illustrate the detailed procedure.

Background

Identification of antigens recognized by MPM-2 antibody represents a useful starting point for the discovery of target molecules undergoing post-phosphorylation prolyl-isomerization regulatory mechanism. The prolyl isomerase Pin1, in fact, shares with MPM-2 antibody the same recognition motif as well as the phospho-dependency of the binding. The main advantage of using the MPM-2 antibody in immunoprecipitation experiments is the achievement of a selective enrichment of the phosphorylated targets over the unphosphorylated counterparts, which are frequently present in much greater quantities in the cell. Precipitated antigens by virtue of such post-translational modification can be then easily identified by standard western blotting using highly specific primary antibodies.
