DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3G (APOBEC3G), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: in vitro E.coli expression system. Expression Region: 1-384aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MKPHFRNTVE RMYRDTFSYN FYNRPILSRR NTVWLCYEVK TKGPSRPPLD AKIFRGQVYS ELKYHPEMRF FHWFSKWRKL HRDQEYEVTW YISWSPCTKC TRDMATFLAE DPKVTLTIFV ARLYYFWDPD YQEALRSLCQ KRDGPRATMK IMNYDEFQHC WSKFVYSQRE LFEPWNNLPK YYILLHIMLG EILRHSMDPP TFTFNFNNEP WVRGRHETYL CYEVERMHND TWVLLNQRRG FLCNQAPHKH GFLEGRHAEL CFLDVIPFWK LDLDQDYRVT CFTSWSPCFS CAQEMAKFIS KNKHVSLCIF TARIYDDQGR CQEGLRTLAE AGAKISIMTY SEFKHCWDTF VDHQGCPFQP WDGLDEHSQD LSGRLRAILQ NQEN. Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: DNA deaminase (cytidine deaminase) which acts as an inhibitor of retrovirus replication and retrotransposon mobility via deaminase-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Exhibits potent antiviral activity against Vif-deficient HIV-1. After the penetration of retroviral nucleocapsids into target cells of infection and the initiation of reverse transcription, it can induce the conversion of cytosine to uracil in the minus-sense single-strand viral DNA, leading to G-to-A hypermutations in the subsequent plus-strand viral DNA. The resultant detrimental levels of mutations in the proviral genome, along with a deamination-independent mechanism that works prior to the proviral integration, together exert efficient antiretroviral effects in infected target cells. Selectively targets single-stranded DNA and does not deaminate double-stranded DNA or single- or double-stranded RNA. Exhibits antiviral activity also against simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs), hepatitis B virus (HBV), equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), xenotropic MuLV-related virus (XMRV) and simian foamy virus (SFV). May inhibit the mobility of LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons. Reference: "Structure of the DNA deaminase domain of the HIV-1 restriction factor APOBEC3G."
