SUZ12 is a polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Component of the PRC2 complex, which methylates ′Lys-9′ and ′Lys-27′ residues of histone H3.

SUZ12

Full length, recombinant human SUZ12.

Immunoprecipitation from RIP lysate:
Representative lot data.
RIP lysate from HeLa cells (~2 X 10E7 cell equivalents per IP) was subjected to immunoprecipitation using either 5 µg of a normal mouse IgG (Cat. #CS200621), or 5 µg of Anti-SUZ12 antibody (Cat. # CS203201).
20 percent of the precipitated proteins (lane 1: mouse IgG, lane 2: SUZ12) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-SUZ12 antibody (Cat. # CS203201, 1:1000). Proteins were visualized using One-Step IP-Western kit (GenScript Cat. # L00232)
Arrow indicates SUZ12 (Figure 2).

Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Lysates from HeLa cells were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF and probed with anti-SUZ12 (1:1,000 dilution).
Proteins were visualized using goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and chemiluminescence detection.

This RIPAb+ SUZ12 -RIP Validated Antibody & Primer Set conveniently includes the antibody & the specific control PCR primers.

10 assays per set. Recommended use: ~5 μg of antibody per RIP (dependent upon biological context).

RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation:
RIP Lysate prepared from HeLa cells (2 X 10E7 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to immunoprecipitation using either 5 µg of a normal mouse IgG , or 5 µg of Anti-SUZ12 antibody and the Magna RIP^® RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation Kit (Cat. # 17-700).
Successful immunoprecipitation of SUZ12-associated RNA was verified by qPCR using RIP Primers lincSFPQ, (Figure 1)
Please refer to the Magna RIP (Cat. # 17-700) or EZ-Magna RIP (Cat. # 17-701) protocol for experimental details.
