Scientific Data Images for BromoTag Antibody

Western Blot: BromoTag Antibody [NBP3-17999] - Testing of NBP3-17999 antibody on a BromoTag containing endogenous heterozygous HEK293 cell line, against a well-characterized commercial Brd2 antibody. BromoTag contains Brd4L387A mutation that was used as the original immunogen. Total protein ranged from 2.5-40 ug per well. A HEK293 WT cell line was used as a control. Ponceaus Stain was used as a loading control. NBP3-17999 is demonstrated to be a selective BromoTag antibody.

Background: BromoTag

BromoTag is a novel TAG degradation platform designed to degrade intracellular proteins of interest. The BromoTag system requires the target protein to be expressed as a fusion protein with a TAG protein, called a degron tag. The BromoTag consists of a bromo and extracellular terminal (BET) bromodomain Brd4 variant L387A as the degron tag. The tag mediates formation of a tertiary complex between the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) E3 ligase and the fusion protein. The fusion protein becomes ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase, leading to proteasomal degradation of the target protein and degrader BromoTag recycling. An advantage of this system is that the degron tag removes the requirement for proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) or binding ligands for the protein of interest to recruit the E3 ubiquitin ligase. Degradation by BromoTag is an alternative strategy compared to conventional genetic knockout or knockdown. Additionally, the dosage can be modified to control the level of protein degradation and knockdown. The Bromotag system is also reversible, where in cell culture conditions the degrader can be washed out from the media.
