Introduction
Guanosine-3',5'-bis(diphosphate)-pyrophosphohydrolase MESH1 (HDDC3) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in bacterial metabolism by regulating the levels of the signaling molecule ppGpp. HDDC3 possesses an active site for ppGpp hydrolysis and a conserved His-Asp-box motif for manganese ion binding, which are essential for its catalytic activity. This enzyme effectively catalyzes the hydrolysis of guanosine 3',5'-diphosphate (ppGpp) both in vitro and in vivo, effectively reducing its cellular concentration. Furthermore, HDDC3 can compensate for the loss of SpoT function, a key enzyme involved in ppGpp synthesis, and mitigate the growth inhibitory effects caused by RelA-mediated ppGpp accumulation in bacteria.
Description
Recombinant human HDDC3, expressed in E. coli, is a purified protein with a molecular weight of 17.9 kDa. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 160 amino acids, with the first 140 amino acids representing the HDDC3 protein and a 20 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus to facilitate purification. The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution without any visible particles.
Formulation
The HDDC3 protein is supplied in a solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.0, 40% glycerol, 0.15M NaCl, and 1mM DTT. The protein concentration is 0.5mg/ml.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), keep the HDDC3 vial refrigerated at 4°C. For long-term storage, freeze the vial at -20°C. It is highly recommended to add a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA at a final concentration of 0.1% to prevent protein degradation during long-term storage. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the protein solution.
Purity
The purity of HDDC3 is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
