| Scientific Background: | The covalent attachment of ubiquitin to proteins (ubiquitinylation) and their subsequent proteasomal degradation plays a fundamental role in the regulation of cellular function through biological events involving cell cycle, differentiation, immune responses, DNA repair, chromatin structure, and apoptosis. |
| |
| Technical Info/Product Notes: | Fluorescein labelled ubiquitin is a useful reagent for studying ubiquitinylation in vitro, where it represents a readily detectable alternative to radio-iodinated ubiquitin. Fluorescein labelled ubiquitin is activated by ubiquitin E1, is a competent substrate for known ubiquitin E2/E3 enzymes (thioester bond formation) and can be conjugated to ubiquitin target proteins (isopeptide bond formation).
This product contains a number of multiply fluorescein-labelled ubiquitin species, with [fluorescein]2-4ubiquitin being the predominant species.
Typical thioester assay set-up: 2.5µM Fluorescein-Ub (BML-UW1240), 100nM Ub-E1 (BML-UW9410), 2.5µM E2 (e.g. His6-UbcH5a, BML-UW9050), 1U inorganic pyrophosphatase, 5mM Mg-ATP in 20mM TRIS-HCl, pH 7.5, 1mM DTT. Incubate at 37ºC for 30-60 mins. Analyse by SDS-PAGE followed by fluorescence detection. |
