Product Specs

Introduction
Glutamyl-tRNA amidotransferase, subunit C, also known as GATC, is an enzyme that facilitates the conversion of misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln) to properly charged Gln-tRNA(Gln) in the mitochondria. This process is crucial for ensuring the availability of correctly charged glutamine tRNA for protein synthesis. GATC achieves this through a transamidation reaction that requires glutamine and ATP and involves the formation of an activated gamma-phospho-Glu-tRNA(Gln) intermediate. Furthermore, GATC constitutes a subunit of the heterotrimeric GatCAB amidotransferase (AdT) complex, which comprises A (QRSL1), B (PET112), and C (GATC) subunits.
Description
This product is a recombinant human GATC protein produced in E. coli. It is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain that consists of 159 amino acids, with amino acids 1-136 representing the GATC sequence. The protein has a molecular mass of 17.5 kDa. However, its apparent size on SDS-PAGE may be higher due to the presence of a 23 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus. The protein has been purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity.
Physical Appearance
The product is a clear solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The GATC protein is supplied at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.15 M NaCl, 30% glycerol, and 1 mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the product at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA to a final concentration of 0.1% is advisable. It is crucial to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent protein degradation.
Purity
The purity of the GATC protein is greater than 85.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The GATC gene is located on chromosome 12q24.31 and encodes a protein that is part of the GatCAB complex . This complex is responsible for the proper aminoacylation of mitochondrial glutaminyl-tRNA (mt-tRNA (Gln)). The other two subunits in the enzyme complex are GATA (QRSL1) and GATB .

Function

The primary function of the GATC protein is to enable the formation of correctly charged Gln-tRNA (Gln) through the transamidation of misacylated Glu-tRNA (Gln) in the mitochondria . This reaction occurs in the presence of glutamine and ATP, resulting in an activated gamma-phospho-Glu-tRNA (Gln) . The proper functioning of this protein is essential for mitochondrial translation and overall cellular energy production .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the GATC gene have been associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 42 (COXPD42), a mitochondrial disorder . This condition is characterized by impaired mitochondrial protein synthesis and energy production, leading to various clinical manifestations . Patients with COXPD42 often exhibit symptoms such as muscle weakness, developmental delay, and other systemic issues .

Research and Applications

Recombinant human GATC protein is used in various research applications to study mitochondrial function and disorders. Understanding the role of GATC in mitochondrial translation can provide insights into the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial diseases and potential therapeutic targets .
