Background:
Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a susceptibility factor for a wide range of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, mood disorders, and autism. DISC1 is expressed in both neuronal progenitor cells and postmitotic neurons in the developing cerebral cortex. DISC1 can interact with both centrosomal proteins and dynein-motor related proteins. In addition, DISC1 interacts with and inhibits the kinase GSK-3β to enable Wnt activation of β-catenin–mediated gene transcription and neuron proliferation. These functions of DISC1 may be regulated by post-translational modification. PKA and CDK5 can phosphorylate Ser-710, and a non-phosphorylatable Ser-710 mutant shows decreased interaction with the centrosomal proteins, BBS1 and BBS4, while a constituitively phosphorylated Ser-710 mutant shows increased interaction with these proteins. During neuronal progenitor cell proliferation, DISC1 phosphorylation at Ser-710 is low and the interaction with GSK-3β is enhanced. By contrast, DISC1 phosphorylation is increased, association with GSK-3β is decreased, and interaction with BBS1 is enhanced during postmitotic neuron migration.
Sequence: Phospho-DISC1 (Ser-710) synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser-710 in mouse DISC1. This peptide sequence is well conserved in rat DISC1 (Ser-703), but has five amino acid differences with the conserved site in human DISC1 (Ser-713).
Specificity: The peptide is specifically recognized by anti-DISC1 (Ser-710) antibody (DP3061) in ELISA, and has been shown to block the reactivity of DP3061 during Western blot. In addition, the peptide is recommended for use in blocking DP3061 reactivity in immunocytochemistry.
Buffer/Storage:
Blocking Peptide is supplied in 50µl phosphate-buffered saline and 0.05% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Stable for 1 year.
