Recombinant yeast SUMO Protease

SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifiers) Protease 1 (Ulp1, UBI-specific protease 1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a highly active cysteine protease. Rather than recognizing a short sequence such as TEV, Thrombin or Enterokinease, SUMO protease specifically recognizes the tertiary structure of the hSUMO1-3 and yeast Smt3. SUMO fusion tag, as an N-terminal fusion partner, has been shown to enhance solubilized expression in the bacterial, yeast, insect cells or mammalian cells recombination protein expression systems. ScienCell's SUMO protease is fused with a N-terminal His-tag to facilitate its removal from the digested protein sample.
