Biological Description

Specificity TIAL1 Antibody [C19N17] detects endogenous levels of total TIAL1 protein.
Background TIAL1, also known as TIA1 cytotoxic granule-associated RNA binding protein-like 1 or TIAR, is a ubiquitously expressed RNA-binding protein of about 42 kDa and 386 amino acids, and is a paralog of TIA1 within the RNA-binding protein family. It regulates post-transcriptional gene expression by binding U-rich elements in 3' untranslated regions and introns through three tandem N-terminal RNA recognition motifs, RRMs. Each RRM is about 90 amino acids with a beta-alpha-beta-beta-alpha-beta fold and contains RNP1 and RNP2 octapeptides that coordinate RNA base and phosphate backbone recognition, such as Arg, Lys, and His residues in the TIA-1 RRM2 homolog mediating uridine stacking and hydrogen bonding. TIAL1 also has a flexible linker and a C-terminal glutamine-rich Q domain, which serves as an effector region for stress granule localization and recruitment of U1 snRNP. TIAL1 is stress-responsive translational silencing: upon eIF2α phosphorylation during ER or oxidative stress, TIAL1 shuttles target mRNAs such as Mcl1, Cox-2, and Fas to cytoplasmic stress granules via URE interactions, inhibiting translation initiation while stabilizing the transcripts for rapid recovery. It cooperates with TIA1 in germinal center B cell selection, supporting Mcl1 upregulation for affinity maturation and dark-light zone identity. TIAL1 regulates the apoptosis rheostat, balancing Fas-driven pro-death and Mcl1-driven survival, modulates alternative splicing of targets like FGFR2 and CFTR, and maintains immune homeostasis, including Th1 cytokine regulation; double knockout of TIAR and TIA1 impairs B cell expansion and differentiation. Dysregulated stress granules link TIAL1 to neurodegeneration, such as ALS and FTD through TDP-43 and FUS aggregation, and Alzheimer's disease via tau, as well as to cancer immune evasion, since reduced Mcl1 sensitizes cells, and to viral replication through host translation shutoff.

Experimental Protocol:
 
Sample preparation
1. Tissue: Lyse the tissue sample by adding an appropriate volume of ice-cold RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail),and homogenize the tissue at a low temperature.
2. Adherent cell: Aspirate the culture medium and wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min.
3. Suspension cell: Transfer the culture medium to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Centrifuge and aspirate the supernatant. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min.
4. Place the lysate into a pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4°C for 15 min. Collect the supernatant;
5. Remove a small volume of lysate to determine the protein concentration;
6. Combine the lysate with protein loading buffer. Boil 20 µL sample under 95-100°C for 5 min. Centrifuge for 5 min after cool down on ice.

2. Power up 80V for 30 minutes. Then the power supply is adjusted (110 V~150 V), the Marker is observed, and the electrophoresis can be stopped when the indicator band of the predyed protein Marker where the protein is located is properly separated. (Note that the current should not be too large when electrophoresis, too large current (more than 150 mA) will cause the temperature to rise, affecting the result of running glue. If high currents cannot be avoided, an ice bath can be used to cool the bath.)
 
Transfer membrane
1. Take out the converter, soak the clip and consumables in the pre-cooled converter;
2. Activate PVDF membrane with methanol for 1 min and rinse with transfer buffer;
3. Install it in the order of "black edge of clip - sponge - filter paper - filter paper - glue -PVDF membrane - filter paper - filter paper - sponge - white edge of clip";
4. The protein was electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. ( 0.45 µm PVDF membrane is recommended ) Reference Table for Selecting PVDF Membrane Pore Size Specifications
Recommended conditions for wet transfer: 200 mA, 120 min.
( Note that the transfer conditions can be adjusted according to the protein size. For high-molecular-weight proteins, a higher current and longer transfer time are recommended. However, ensure that the transfer tank remains at a low temperature to prevent gel melting.)
 
Block
1. After electrotransfer, wash the film with TBST at room temperature for 5 minutes;
2. Incubate the film in the blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature;
3. Wash the film with TBST for 3 times, 5 minutes each time.
 
Antibody incubation
1. Use 5% skim milk powder to prepare the primary antibody working liquid (recommended dilution ratio for primary antibody 1:1000), gently shake and incubate with the film at 4°C overnight;
2. Wash the film with TBST 3 times, 5 minutes each time;
3. Add the secondary antibody to the blocking solution and incubate with the film gently at room temperature for 1 hour;
4. After incubation, wash the film with TBST 3 times for 5 minutes each time.
 
Antibody staining
1. Add the prepared ECL luminescent substrate (or select other color developing substrate according to the second antibody) and mix evenly;
2. Incubate with the film for 1 minute, remove excess substrate (keep the film moist), wrap with plastic film, and expose in the imaging system.

Experimental Protocol:
 
Deparaffinization/Rehydration

6.Antigen retrieval: For Citrate: Heat slides in a microwave submersed in 1X citrate unmasking solution until boiling is initiated; continue with 10 min at a sub-boiling temperature (95°-98°C). Cool slides on bench top for 30 min.
