RNA polymerase II (pol II) is a key enzyme in the regulation and control of gene transcription. It is able to unwind the DNA double helix, synthesize RNA, and proofread the result. Pol II is a complex enzyme, consisting of 12 subunits, of which the B1 subunit (UniProt/Swiss-Prot entry P24928) is the largest. Together with the second largest subunit, B1 forms the catalytic core of the RNA polymerase II transcription machinery.

- Validation Data
Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol II S2p
ChIP assays were performed using human HeLa cells, the Diagenode monoclonal antibody against Pol II S2p (Cat. No. C15200005) and optimized PCR primer pairs for qPCR. ChIP was performed with the “iDeal ChIP-seq” kit (Cat. No. C01010051), using sheared chromatin from 1 million cells. A titration consisting of 1, 2, 5 and 10 µg of antibody per ChIP experiment was analyzed. IgG (2 µg/IP) was used as a negative IP control. Quantitative PCR was performed with primers specific for the coding region of the constitutively expressed GAPDH and ACTB genes, used as positive controls, and for exon 2 of the inactive myoglobin (MB) gene and the Sat2 satellite repeat, used as negative controls. Figure 1 shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).A.

Figure 2. ChIP-seq results obtained with the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol II S2p
ChIP was performed on sheared chromatin from 1 million HeLaS3 cells using 1 µg of the Diagenode antibody against Pol II S2p (Cat. No. C15200005) as described above. The IP’d DNA was subsequently analysed on an Illumina Genome Analyzer. Library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 36 bp tags were aligned to the human genome using the ELAND algorithm. Figure 2 shows the peak distribution along the complete sequence and a 150 kb region of the X-chromosome (figure 2A and B, respectively), and in a two genomic regions surrounding the GAPDH and ACTB positive control genes (figure 2C and D).
Figure 3. Cross reactivity of the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol IIS2p
To test the specificity an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the Diagenode monoclonal antibody against Pol IIS2p (cat. No. C15200005). The wells were coated with peptides containing the unmodified C-terminal repeat sequence as well as different phosphorylated peptides. Figure 3 shows the specificity of the antibody for the S2 phosphorylation.
Figure 4. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol II S2p
Nuclear extracts (25 µg) from HeLa cells were analysed by Western blot using the Diagenode monoclonal antibody against Pol II S2p (Cat. No. C15200005) diluted 1:1,000 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right; the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.
Figure 5. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol II S2p
Whole cell extracts (40 µg) from HeLa cells transfected with Pol II siRNA (lane 2) and from an untransfected control (lane 1) were analysed by Western blot using the Diagenode antibody against Pol II S2p (Cat. No. C15200005) diluted 1:1,000 in TBSTween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right; the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.
Figure 6. Immunofluorescence using the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol II S2p
HeLa cells were stained with the Diagenode antibody against Pol II S2p (Cat. No. C15200005) and with DAPI. Cells were fixed with methanol and blocked with PBS/TX-100 containing 5% normal goat serum and 1% BSA. The cells were immunofluorescently labelled with the Pol II S2p antibody (left) diluted 1:500 in blocking solution followed by an anti-mouse antibody conjugated to Alexa594. The middle panel shows staining of the nuclei with DAPI. A merge of the two stainings is shown on the right. - 出版物

Bisection of the X chromosome disrupts the initiation of chromosome silencing during meiosis in C. elegans
Rappaport Yisrael et al.
During meiosis, gene expression is silenced in aberrantly unsynapsed chromatin and in heterogametic sex chromosomes. Initiation of sex chromosome silencing is disrupted in meiocytes with sex chromosome-autosome translocations. To determine whether this is due to aberrant synapsis or loss of continuity of sex chromos...CDK7 Inhibition is Effective in all the Subtypes of Breast Cancer: Determinants of Response and Synergy with EGFR Inhibition.
McDermott MSJ, Sharko AC, Munie J, Kassler S, Melendez T, Lim CU, Broude EV
CDK7, a transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinase, is emerging as a novel cancer target. Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) but not estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers have been reported to be uniquely sensitive to the CDK7 inhibitor THZ1 due to the inhibition of a cluster of TNBC-specific genes. Howeve...A cell cycle-coordinated Polymerase II transcription compartment encompasses gene expression before global genome activation.

Most metazoan embryos commence development with rapid, transcriptionally silent cell divisions, with genome activation delayed until the mid-blastula transition (MBT). However, a set of genes escapes global repression and gets activated before MBT. Here we describe the formation and the spatio-temporal dynamics of a...Transcription Elongation Can Affect Genome 3D Structure.

How transcription affects genome 3D organization is not well understood. We found that during influenza A (IAV) infection, rampant transcription rapidly reorganizes host cell chromatin interactions. These changes occur at the ends of highly transcribed genes, where global inhibition of transcription termination by I...CDK8/19 Mediator kinases potentiate induction of transcription by NFκB
Chen M. et al.
The nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) family of transcription factors has been implicated in inflammatory disorders, viral infections, and cancer. Most of the drugs that inhibit NFκB show significant side effects, possibly due to sustained NFκB suppression. Drugs affecting induced, but not basal, NF&k...Occupancy of RNA Polymerase II Phosphorylated on Serine 5 (RNAP S5P) and RNAP S2P on Varicella-Zoster Virus Genes 9, 51, and 66 Is Independent of Transcript Abundance and Polymerase Location within the Gene
Henderson HH et al.
Regulation of gene transcription in varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a ubiquitous human neurotropic alphaherpesvirus, requires coordinated binding of multiple host and virus proteins onto specific regions of the virus genome. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is widely used to determine the location of specific prot...
