Background:
Erythrocyte spectrin is the main component of the red cell membrane skeleton responsible for the shape and physical properties of red cells. Spectrin is composed of 2 subunits alpha and beta (280 and 246 kDa respectively). The human erithroid a-spectrin (2418 amino acids) consists of 22 repeating segments of about 106 amino acids
in length. This protein was demonstrated to be
a specific substrate for ubiquitina tion in vitro and in vivo. The main ubiquitination site on human
a-spectrin was identified in the lysine 27 of the repeating segment 17 by sitedirected mutagenesis. Cell-free experiments using radiolabeled, biotinylated or native ubiquitin and cellular lysates from rabbit retyculocytes, human erythrocytes or k562 cells, showed that only
monoubiquitination occurs at this site.
Description :
Recombinant fusion protein: Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) and a
fragment of human a-spectrin (from Lysine 1601 to Leucine 1818) containing repeat 17 and the ubiquitination target lysine 27.
The total molecular weight of the fusion protein is 52.4 kDa.
Presentation:
Sterile Filtered clear solution.
Formulation:
The protein (1.7mg/ml) contains 50mM Tris buffer pH-8 and 10mM glutathione.
Stability:
rGST-alpha Spectrin although stable at 14
0C for 1 week, should be stored desiccated
below -18
0C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 90.0% as determined by both:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel
Application:
Substrate for cell-free ubiquitination assays.
