General description

40-44 kDa observed
Polycomb complex protein BMI-1 (UniProt P25916; also known as B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1, Polycomb group RING finger protein 4) is encoded by the Bmi1 (also known as AW546694, Bmi-1, Pcgf4) gene (Gene ID 12151) in murine species. Bmi1 is a member of the polycomb group (PcG) family of evolutionarily conserved gene silencers involved in cell fate decisions and body pattern during development. Bmi1 is an important regulator of self-renewal of hematopoietic and neural stem cells, as well as cancer stem cells (CSCs). Bmi1 is a main constituent of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and pariticipates in PRC-mediated gene silencing by promoting monoubiquitination of H2A. Bmi1 overexpression is reported in many different human cancers and high level of Bmi1 is considered as a poor prognostic marker. Bmi1 targets genes involved in transforming growth factor-β/bone morphogenetic protein (TGF-beta/BMP), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and WNT pathways. Bmi itself is transcriptionally regulated by c-Myc and E2F1 transcription factors.

Characterization of Estrogen Receptor α Phosphorylation Sites in Breast Cancer Tissue Using the SNAP i.d® 2.0 System

A major focus of breast cancer research is to understand the mechanisms responsible for disease progression and drug resistance. Toward that end, it has been found that approximately two thirds of all human breast carcinomas overexpress the Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) protein and it remains the primary pharmacological target for endocrine therapy1,2. The normal cellular function of ERα is as a transcription factor that mediates a wide variety of physiological processes, many of which are dependent upon phosphorylation of the receptor at specific amino acid residues3,4. Indeed, ERα is known to be phosphorylated at a multitude of different sites, yet how these all correlate to disease remains unclear5. Here, we interrogated multiple sites of ERα for phosphorylation status by screening an extensive panel of different breast cancer patient samples and other non-breast cancer tissue microarray (TMA) slide samples to determine their relevance to disease.
