Introduction
Belonging to the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) family, PPIH catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds within oligopeptides, thereby accelerating protein folding. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the complex comprising pre-mRNA processing factors PRPF3, PRPF4, and PRPF18, along with U4/U5/U6 tri-snRNP. Exhibiting PPIase activity, PPIH functions as a protein chaperone, facilitating interactions between different proteins within the spliceosome.
Description
Recombinant human PPIH, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 177 amino acids (1-177) and has a molecular weight of 19.2 kDa. The purification of PPIH is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The solution contains 1 mg of PPIH per ml in 1x PBS buffer at pH 7.4 with 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep the solution refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity
The specific activity, determined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 µmol of suc-AAFP-pNA per minute at 25°C and pH 8.0 in Tris-HCl buffer using chymotrypsin, is greater than 220 nmol/min/mg.
Purity
PPIH purity exceeds 95.0%, as confirmed by both reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis.
