    Product Information

    Kit Usage Information

    Protocols

    Product Description

    The LAPosome Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of analyzing the proteins in the LAPosome complex. The kit includes enough antibodies to perform two western blot experiments with each primary antibody.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Each antibody in the LAPosome Antibody Sampler Kit detects endogenous levels of its target protein. Rubicon (D9F7) Rabbit mAb detects a band of unknown origin at 55 kDa.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues surrounding Thr72 of human Beclin-1, Leu210 of human Rubicon, Lys630 of PI3 kinase class III, and Gly502 of human UVRAG. Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly825 of human PIK3R4 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) is a process at the crossroads between autophagy and phagocytosis in which uptake of extracellular particles into phagophores utilizes components of the autophagic machinery and is targeted to the lysosome for degradation (reviewed in 1-3). Activation of LAP by infectious agents through engagement of pathogen receptors like Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important in immune regulation and host defense. While autophagosomes and LAP phagophores both express lipidated LC3, autophagosomes are double membrane vesicles while the phagophores in LAP are single membrane. While LAP shares some components of canonical autophagy, there are some distinct differences. Both autophagy and LAP require PI3 Kinase Class III (PI3KC3; also known as VPS34) as well as the regulatory protein PIK3R4 (also known as VPS15) and Beclin-1. However, while canonical autophagy requires Atg14 and Ambra-1 in this complex, LAP requires Rubicon and UVRAG. This complex, known as the LAPosome, activates PI3KC3 and triggers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 2 (NOX2), generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) for phagophore maturation. The expression of Rubicon in this complex has emerged as a defining characteristic of LAP.
