Biological background
PGD (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in postreplication repair of UV-damaged DNA. Postreplication repair functions in gap- filling of a daughter strand on replication of damaged DNA. Associates to the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2B to form the UBE2B-RAD18 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in mono- ubiquitination of DNA-associated PCNA on 'Lys-164'. Has ssDNA binding activity. . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Associates with chromatin (PubMed:25931565). Colocalizes with SLF1 in the nucleus and to centrosomes (PubMed:15632077). Relocalizes with SLF1 to nuclear foci in response to DNA damage (PubMed:22036607). Accumulates with the SLF1-SLF2 and SMC5-SMC6 complexes at replication-coupled DNA interstrand repair and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites on chromatin in a ubiquitin-dependent manner (PubMed:25931565). . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed ubiquitously in normal tissues.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Biology,2339,DNA/RNA,DNA Synthesis,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Proteasome / Ubiquitin,Proteolysis/Ubiquitin,Ring Finger E3 Ligase,Ubiquitin E3 Enzymes.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate PGD antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect PGD expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Localize PGD by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify PGD-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions, Enrich PGD by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 43 kDa; calculated MW: 56223 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
