Catalog number: SBB-PS0001, 50 μg
This product consists of a full-length, mature ubiquitin polypeptide (amino acids 1-76) recombinantly expressed in E.coli, conjugated on its c-terminus to a quenched Rhodamine110 dye. Hydrolysis of the conjugate results in fluorescence observable by excitation at 485nm and emission at 535nm. Typical working range is 50-500nM.
Ubiquitin Rhodamine 110
Ubiquitin is a 76 amino acid post-translational modifier expressed throughout all tissues in eukaryotic organisms. The many roles of ubiquitin modification include proteasomal degradation, signal transduction, inflammatory response, and DNA damage repair. Ubiquitin modification occurs through a pyramidal cascade of an E1 activating enzyme, E2 conjugating enzymes ,and an E3 ubiquitin ligases. This enzymatic cascade results in modification of a ε-amine of a lysine residue on a substrate protein. Substrates may either be mono or poly-ubiquitinated by M1, K6, 11, 27, 29, 33, 48 or 63 linkages. Removal of ubiquitin from a substrate protein occurs via deconjugating enzymes, of which there are nearly 100 known enzymes with various specificities.
