Virulence sensor protein PhoQ (phoQ), partial, recombinant Shigella flexneri

Organism: Shigella flexneri. Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 216-486aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: C-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: WSLRPIEALA KEVRELEEHN RELLNPATTR ELTSLVRNLN RLLKSERERY DKYRTTLTDL THSLKTPLAV LQSTLRSLRS EKMSVSDAEP VMLEQISRIS QQIGYYLHRA SMRGGTLLSR ELHPVAPLLD NLTSALNKVY QRKGVNISLD ISPEISFVGE QNDFVEVMGN VLDNACKYCL EFVEISARQT DEHLYIVVED DGPGIPLSKR EVIFDRGQRV DTLRPGQGVG LAVAREITEQ YEGKIVAGES MLGGARMEVI FGRQHSAPKD E. Purity: Greater than 95% 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: Member of the two-component regulatory system PhoP/PhoQ involved in virulence and adaptation to low Mg(2+) environments. In low periplasmic Mg(2+), PhoQ functions as a membrane-associated protein kinase that undergoes autophosphorylation and subsequently transfers the phosphate to PhoP, which results in the expression of PhoP-activated genes (PAG) and repression of PhoP-repressed genes (PRG). In high periplasmic Mg(2+), acts as a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates phospho-PhoP, which results in the repression of PAG and may lead to expression of some PRG. Necessary for resistance to killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) they produce. Reference: n/a. Function: nan
