Recombinant Human Di-Ub/Ub2 Non-hydrolyzable (K48-linked) CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity

>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by Colloidal Coomassie® Blue stain

Activity

Ubiquitin chains vary in length, linkage, and function. K48-linked Non-hydrolyzable Di-Ubiquitin Chains (Ub2) may be useful for investigating Ubiquitin-binding proteins and exploring the role of unanchored Ubiquitin chains in signaling pathways. Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application. IMPORTANT: Heating this product in SDS-PAGE buffer or terminating reactions containing this product with heated SDS-PAGE buffer could lead to unexpected, high apparent molecular weight banding or smearing on gels that is not representative of product purity. For optimal results, we recommend incubation in SDS-PAGE buffer + DTT at <40 °C for 20 minutes prior to gel electrophoresis.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: Di-Ubiquitin

With a predicted molecular weight of 17 kDa, Di-Ubiquitin is composed of two Ubiquitin monomers that are covalently linked through an isopeptide bond, which typically form between a lysine residue of one Ubiquitin molecule and the C-terminal glycine residue of another Ubiquitin molecule (1). Each human Ubiquitin monomer is 76 amino acids (aa) in length and shares 96% and 100% aa identity with yeast and mouse Ubiquitin, respectively (2). Ubiquitin has seven lysine residues that can participate in the formation of poly-Ubiquitin chains. The specific lysine residue used in Ubiquitin conjugation is thought to determine the function of poly-ubiquitination in cellular processes such as protein degradation, signaling, and trafficking (3-8).

Linkage specific, non-hydrolyzable di-Ubiquitin is resistant to the activity of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUB's) that cleave the isopeptide linkage between adjacent Ubiquitin molecules. It can be used to investigate binding interactions between di-Ubiquitin and proteins that contain elements such as Ubiquitin-associated domains (UBAs) or Ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs). This product may also be useful in exploring the role of unanchored poly-Ubiquitin chains in some signaling pathways.
