Analysis Note

ControlIncludes negative control mouse IgG antibody and control primers specific for human FOS.

Application

RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (microRNA):
RIP Lysate prepared from HeLa cells (2 X 10⁷ cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to immunoprecipitation using 5 µL of either a normal mouse IgG or 5 µL of Anti-Ago2 antibody and the Magna RIP^® RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Cat. # 17-700).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Ago2-associated microRNA was verified by TaqMan™ microRNA assay, hsa-miR-23a. (Please see figures).
Please refer to the Magna RIP™ (Cat. # 17-700) or EZ-Magna RIP™ (Cat. # 17-701) protocol for experimental details.

Immunoprecipitation from RIP lysate:
Representative lot data.
RIP lysate from HeLa cells (2 X 10⁶ cell equivalents per IP) was subjected to immunoprecipitation using 0.5 µL of either a normal mouse IgG or Anti-Ago2 antibody. Precipitated proteins (lane 1: mouse IgG, lane 2: anti-Ago2) and HeLa whole cell lysate (lane 3) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-Ago2 antibody (1:5,000 dilution).
Proteins were visualized using goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and chemiluminescence detection.
(Please see figures).

General description

Ago2 (argonaute-2), also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C (EIF2C2), is an essential component for siRNA-directed RNA interference (RNAi) response. Ago2 is an endonuclease required for the unwinding of siRNA duplex and assembly of siRNA into RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC). Ago2 interacts with DICER1 through its Piwi domain. This Piwi domain is thought to provide RNA cleavage activity via a mechanism similar to RNase H. Ago2 activity is necessary for embryonic development as well as RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi).
