Introduction
Mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 1 homolog (MRM1), a member of the RNA methyltransferase TrmH family, is responsible for methylating the ribose of guanosine G-2270 within the peptidyl transferase center of the mitochondrial large ribosomal RNA (21S).
Description
Recombinant MRM1 protein, produced in E. coli, is a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 38.8 kDa. This protein consists of 356 amino acids (residues 21-353) and includes a 23 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The MRM1 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml and is formulated in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.15 M NaCl, 30% glycerol, 1 mM DTT, and 0.1 mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the solution should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for long-term storage. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 1 homolog, rRNA methyltransferase 1, mitochondrial, Mitochondrial large ribosomal RNA ribose methylase, MRM1.
