Phospho-RNA pol II CTD (Ser5) Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Detection of RNA Pol II pS5 by immunofluorescence U2OS cells were stained with RNA Pol II pS5 antibody at a dilution of 1:500. Left panel: RNA Pol II pS5 antibody staining. Middle panel:DAPI. Right panel: merge.

Phospho-RNA pol II CTD (Ser5) Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser5 mAb tested by Western blot. 20 µg of HeLa nuclear extract was run on SDS-PAGE and probed with antibody at 2 µg/mL.

Phospho-RNA pol II CTD (Ser5) Antibody in ChIP Assay (ChIP) — RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser5 antibody (mAb) tested by ChIP. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 10 µg of chromatin from human myeloma LP1 cells and 10 µg RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser5 antibody. ChIP DNA was used in qPCR with the control primer pairs or gene-specific primer pairs as indicated. Data are presented as Binding Events Detected per 1000 Cells using Active Motifs Epigenetic Services normalization scheme which accounts for primer efficiency and the amount of chromatin used in the ChIP reaction.

Phospho-RNA pol II CTD (Ser5) Antibody in ChIP-Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) — RNA pol II CTD phospho Ser5 antibody (mAb) tested by ChIP-Seq. ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with chromatin from 2.3 million HL60 cells and 5 ug of antibody. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq and 23 million sequence tags were mapped to identify RNA pol II phospho Ser5 binding. Data is compared to ChIP-Seq data using a phospho Ser2 antibody (61083). ChIP-Seq data from three specific genes is shown as an example. The Pol II phospho Ser5 antibody detects polymerase more at the 5180 end of the genes and the phospho Ser2 antibody detects Pol II more toward the 3180 end of the genes.

Target Information

RNA polymerase II is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of mRNA and many non-coding RNAs. POLR2A encodes RNA polymerase II subunit B1 (RPB1), the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RPB1 contains tandem heptapeptide repeats with the consensus sequence YSPTSPS. Phosphorylation and other modifications within this sequence influence the recruitment of factors that regulate the transcription cycle. Recruitment of RNA processing factors to the elongation complex is coordinated by the phosphorylation of Serine-2 and Serine-5 residues within the CTD.
