NEDD8 protein (His tag), recombinant human

Activity: Testing in progress Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the Human NEDD8 protein (Q15843) (Met 1-Gly 76) was expressed with a N-10His. Sequence: Met 1-Gly 76. Fusion tag: N-10His Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 12 kDa. Protein function: Human NEDD8 shares 60% amino acid sequence identity to ubiquitin. The only known substrates of NEDD8 modification are the cullin subunits of SCF ubiquitin E3 ligases. The NEDDylation of cullins is critical for the recruitment of E2 to the ligase complex, Protein function: Ubiquitin-like protein which plays an important role in cell cycle control and embryogenesis via its conjugation to a limited number of cellular proteins, such as cullins or p53/TP53 (PubMed:9694792, PubMed:10318914, PubMed:10597293, PubMed:11953428, PubMed:15242646, PubMed:14690597). Attachment of NEDD8 to cullins is critical for the recruitment of E2 to the cullin-RING-based E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, thus facilitating polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of cyclins and other regulatory proteins (PubMed:9694792, PubMed:10318914, PubMed:10597293, PubMed:11953428, PubMed:20688984). Attachment of NEDD8 to p53/TP53 inhibits p53/TP53 transcriptional activity (PubMed:15242646). Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex UBE1C-APPBP1 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UBE2M (PubMed:14690597). [The UniProt Consortium]
