Introduction
Cullin1 is a crucial part of various cullin-RING-based SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes. These complexes help ubiquitinate proteins involved in cell cycle progression, signal transduction, and transcription. Within the SCF complex, Cullin1 acts as a rigid scaffold that organizes the SKP1-F-box protein and RBX1 subunits. It contributes to catalysis by positioning the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme.
Description
CUL1, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 430 amino acids (1-410 a.a.) with a molecular weight of 49.4 kDa. It features a 20 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus and is purified through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, sterile filtered solution.
Formulation
The CUL1 protein solution (1mg/ml) is prepared in a 20mM Tris-HCl buffer with a pH of 8.0, containing 1mM DTT, 100mM NaCl, and 10% glycerol.
Purity
Purity exceeds 95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Stability
For use within 2-4 weeks, store at 4°C. For long-term storage, freeze at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Synonyms
Cullin 1, CUL-1, Cullin-1
