Introduction
CTDSP1, a class 2C phosphatase, relies on its conserved DxD motif for activity. It exhibits a preference for dephosphorylating 'Ser-5' within the repeating heptad sequence found in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II's largest subunit, POLR2A. Furthermore, CTDSP1 exerts a negative regulatory effect on RNA polymerase II transcription, potentially by influencing the shift from initiation/capping to the processive elongation of transcripts.
Description
Produced in E. coli, CTDSP1 is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 280 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 through 260) and possessing a molecular mass of 31.2 kDa. This CTDSP1 variant is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at its N-terminus and undergoes purification using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear and sterile solution.
Formulation
The provided solution contains CTDSP1 at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1 mM DTT, 20% glycerol, and 0.1 M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the solution should be kept refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, the addition of a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (at a concentration of 0.1%) is advisable. Repeated freezing and thawing of the solution should be avoided.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE indicates a purity level exceeding 90.0%.
