Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), partial, Epstein-Barr virus, recombinant

Organism: Epstein-Barr virus (strain GD1) (HHV-4) (Human herpesvirus 4). Source: Yeast. Expression Region: 185-366aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: YFHGPRHTDE HHHDDSLPHP QQATDDSSHE SDSNSNEGRH HLLVSGAGDG PPLCSQNLGA PGGGPDNGPQ DPDNTDDNGP QDPDNTDDNG NTDDNGPQDP DNTDDNGPHD PLPHNPSDSA GNDGGPPNLT EEVENKGGDR GPPSMTDGGG GDPHLPTLLL GTSGSGGDDD DPHGPVQLSY YD. Purity: Greater than 90% 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: Acts as a CD40 functional homolog to prevent apoptosis of infected B-lymphocytes and drive their proliferation. Functions as a constitutively active tumor necrosis factor receptor that induces the activation of several signaling pathways, including those of the NF-kappa-B family. LMP1 signaling leads to up-regulation of antiapoptotic proteins and provide growth signals in latently infected cells. Interacts with host UBE2I and subsequently affects the sumoylation state of several cellular proteins. For example, induces the sumoylation of host IRF7 thereby limiting its transcriptional activity and modulating the activation of innate immune responses.
