Introduction
DEAD Box Protein 56 (DDX56), a member of the DEAD box protein family, is characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) and is believed to function as an RNA helicase. This family of proteins is involved in various cellular processes that require modification of RNA secondary structure, including translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and the assembly of ribosomes and spliceosomes. The distribution patterns of some family members suggest roles in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. DDX56 demonstrates ATPase activity in the presence of polynucleotides and interacts with nucleoplasmic 65S preribosomal particles.
Description
Recombinant human DDX56, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 570 amino acids (residues 1-547). A 23 amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus, resulting in a protein with a molecular weight of 64 kDa. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, sterile filtered solution.
Formulation
The DDX56 protein solution (1 mg/ml) is supplied in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, and 0.4 M urea.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 85.0% via SDS-PAGE analysis.
