TGS1, Recombinant, Human, aa713-853, His-SUMO-Tag (Trimethylguanosine Synthase)

Catalyzes the 2 serial methylation steps for the conversion of the 7-monomethylguanosine (m7G) caps of snRNAs and snoRNAs to a 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (m(2,2,7)G) cap structure. The enzyme is specific for guanine, and N7 methylation must precede N2 methylation. Hypermethylation of the m7G cap of U snRNAs leads to their concentration in nuclear foci, their colocalization with coilin and the formation of canonical Cajal bodies (CBs). Plays a role in transcriptional regulation. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa713-853 from human TGS1, fused to His-SUMO-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
