Product Details

Alternative Name:Interleukin 1β converting enzyme, IL-1β converting enzyme, ICE
 
MW:~20 + 10kDa
 
Source:Produced in E. coli. cDNA encodes residues identical to Asn120-His404 (C-terminus) at Genbank Accession No. M87507, except for an Asp381 to Glu change, introduced to stabilize the enzyme against autoproteolysis.
 
UniProt ID:P29466
 
Formulation:Liquid. In 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, containing 100mM sodium chloride, 0.5% CHAPS, 1mM EDTA, 10% glycerol and 10mM DTT.
 
Purity:≥90% (SDS-PAGE)
 
Purity Detail:Purified by multi-step chromatography.
 
Activity:100 U/µl
 
Specific Activity:One U=1 pmol/min, using Ac-YVAD-pNA (200µM; Prod. No. ALX-260-026) as substrate, at 30°C.
 
Application Notes:Useful tool to study enzyme regulation and kinetics, cleave target substrates, screen for inhibitors.
 
Shipping:Shipped on Dry Ice
 
Long Term Storage:-80°C
 
Use/Stability:After initial defrost, aliquot product into individual tubes and refreeze at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/defrost cycles.The enzyme is stable on ice for the time typically required to set up an experiment (30-60 min.), but may lose activity with prolonged storage on ice. It is recommended that thawing and dilution of the enzyme be done within as short a time as possible before start of the assay. The remaining, undiluted and unused enzyme should be refrozen quickly by, for example, snap-freezing in a dry ice ethanol bath or liquid nitrogen. The enzyme is stable to at least 4 freeze/thaw cycles.
 
Scientific Background:First of the caspases described, caspase-1 was subsequently found to be homologous to Ced-3, the C. elegans caspase essential for apoptosis.
 
Protocol:Caspase-1 (ICE) Assay (Catalog #BML-SE168):
Assay buffer: (50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100mM NaCl, 0.1% CHAPS, 1mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 10mM DTT)
Caspase-1 (BML-SE168): Dilute to 10 U/μl in assay buffer, just before use.
Ac-YVAD-pNA (ALX-260-026) colorimetric substrate: (400 μM stock solution in Assay buffer; Store at -20°C. Warm to assay temperature before use.)  To 5 mg net peptide (MW=629) add 159 μl DMSO, to prepare 50 mM stock. Dilute 50mM stock to 400 μM with Assay Buffer.
Reaction Conditions:
1) Add 45μl Assay buffer into 1/2 volume microtiter plate. Allow to equilibrate to assay temperature.
2) Add 5μl of caspase-1 (10U/μl) to each appropriate well. Include 2 blanks (5μl assay buffer rather than caspase-1).
3) To start reaction, add 50μl Ac-YVAD-pNA substrate (400μM in assay buffer). Final substrate concentration=200μM.
4) Continuously monitor A405nm.
5) Data analysis: Graph OD vs time and determine slope over the linear portion of the curve. Convert rates in OD/min to substrate/min using an extinction coefficient for pnitroaniline of 10,500M-1 cm-1, and adjusting for pathlength of sample (~0.5cm for 100μl in well of a ½ volume, 96-well plate).
