Description
Overview
c-Jun belongs to the mammalian Jun protein family which are transcription factors that must dimerize to bind to their target DNA sites. c-Jun is a major component of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) complex. Phosphorylation of c-Jun at Ser63 and Ser73 through JNK stimulates AP-1. Once phosphorylated, c-Jun can dimerize and bind to DNA sequences and affect transcription. c-Jun regulates numerous cellular responses including proliferation, malignant transformation, differentiation, and apoptosis. C-Jun plays a role in many types of cancers and autoimmune diseases.
The AlphaLISA
SureFire
Human and Mouse Phospho-c-Jun (Ser63) Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of phospho-c-Jun (Ser63) in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.

How it works
Phospho-AlphaLISA
SureFire Ultra
assay principle
The Phospho-AlphaLISA
SureFire Ultra
assay measures a protein target when phosphorylated at a specific residue.
The assay uses two antibodies which recognize the phospho epitope and a distal epitope on the targeted protein. AlphaLISA assays require two bead types: Acceptor and Donor beads. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent to specifically immobilize the assay specific antibody, labeled with a CaptSure tag. Donor beads are coated with streptavidin to capture one of the detection antibodies, which is biotinylated. In the presence of phosphorylated protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads in close proximity whereby the singlet oxygen transfers energy to excite the Acceptor bead, allowing the generation of a luminescent Alpha signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the quantity of phosphoprotein present in the sample.
Phospho-AlphaLISA
SureFire Ultra
two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing and treating the cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well OptiPlate™ plate before the addition of Phospho-AlphaLISA
SureFire Ultra
detection reagents. This protocol permits the cells viability and confluence to be monitored. In addition, lysates from a single well can be used to measure multiple targets.
Phospho-AlphaLISA

one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Phosphorylated target protein with AlphaLISA
SureFire Ultra
reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, treatment, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol allows for miniaturization while maintaining AlphaLISA
