Product Specs

Introduction
Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L1 (MRPL1) is a crucial component of the large (39S) subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis within mitochondria. These ribosomes, distinct from cytoplasmic ribosomes, are composed of a 39S large subunit and a 28S small subunit. MRPL1, alongside other mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs), plays a vital role in this process. The MRPL1 gene undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in two isoforms. Isoform 1 is expressed ubiquitously, while isoform 2 shows preferential expression in the heart.
Description
Recombinant human MRPL1, expressed in E. coli, is available as a purified single polypeptide chain. This protein encompasses amino acids 51 to 325 of the MRPL1 sequence, resulting in a molecular weight of 33.8 kDa. For purification and detection purposes, a 23-amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus. The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution, sterile-filtered.
Formulation
The MRPL1 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 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 extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the MRPL1 protein is greater than 80%, as assessed by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L1 (MRPL1) is a crucial component of the mitochondrial ribosome, specifically the large 39S subunit. This protein is encoded by the MRPL1 gene in humans and plays a significant role in mitochondrial protein synthesis .

Gene and Protein Structure

The MRPL1 gene is located on chromosome 4q21.1 in humans . It encodes a protein that is part of the L1 ribosomal protein family. The mitochondrial ribosome, or mitoribosome, consists of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. Unlike prokaryotic ribosomes, mitoribosomes have a higher protein to rRNA ratio (approximately 75% protein) and lack a 5S rRNA .

Function

MRPL1 is involved in the mitochondrial translation process, which is essential for the synthesis of proteins within the mitochondria. These proteins are critical for the mitochondrion’s role in energy production and other metabolic processes . The protein’s functions include:

  • RNA binding: MRPL1 binds to RNA, which is crucial for its role in the ribosome.
  • Structural constituent of ribosome: It helps maintain the structure and function of the ribosome .
Pathways

MRPL1 is associated with several biological pathways, including:

  • Mitochondrial translation: The process by which proteins are synthesized within the mitochondria.
  • Metabolism of proteins: Involves the synthesis, folding, and degradation of proteins .
Clinical Significance

Mutations or dysfunctions in the MRPL1 gene can potentially lead to mitochondrial diseases, which are often characterized by defects in energy production. These conditions can affect various organs and systems, leading to a wide range of clinical manifestations .

Research and Applications

Recombinant MRPL1 protein is used in research to study mitochondrial function and diseases. It is also utilized in the development of therapeutic approaches for mitochondrial disorders .
