Introduction
COP9 Constitutive Photomorphogenic 6 (COPS6), a member of the translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) superfamily, peptidase M67A family, and CSN6 subfamily, constitutes one of the eight subunits of the COP9 signalosome. This highly conserved protein complex plays a crucial role in regulating multiple signaling pathways. Functionally and structurally similar to the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome, the COP9 signalosome interacts with SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligases, acting as a positive regulator. Additionally, it participates in cell cycle regulation and potentially serves as a cellular cofactor for the HIV-1 accessory gene product Vpr.
Description
Recombinant Human COPS6, expressed in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 347 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 to 327). With a molecular weight of 38.9 kDa, this protein is engineered with a 20 amino acid His-tag fused at its N-terminus. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
The product is a clear solution that has undergone sterile filtration.
Formulation
The COPS6 protein solution (provided at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml) is formulated in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4 M urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For optimal storage, the product should be kept at 4°C if it will be used within 2-4 weeks. For longer storage durations, freezing at -20°C is recommended. To further enhance long-term stability, consider adding a carrier protein (either HSA or BSA) at a concentration of 0.1%. It is crucial to avoid subjecting the product to repeated cycles of freezing and thawing.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE indicates a purity exceeding 80.0%.
Synonyms
