Product Specs

Introduction
Queuine TRNA-Ribosyltransferase Domain Containing 1, also known as QTRTD1, works in conjunction with QTRT1 to form a functional queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase enzyme. This enzyme facilitates the replacement of guanine with queuine at the wobble position of tRNAs possessing GUN anticodons (specifically, tRNA-Asp, -Asn, -His, and -Tyr), leading to the formation of the hypermodified nucleoside queuosine.
Description
Recombinant human QTRTD1, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It comprises 438 amino acids (with amino acids 1 to 415 included) and has a molecular weight of 49.1 kDa. A 23 amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus of the protein. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The QTRTD1 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml. The solution is buffered with phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4 and supplemented with 30% glycerol, 2 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.1 mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For longer storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To ensure stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA to a final concentration of 0.1% is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the protein is greater than 95.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Function and Importance

The primary function of QTRT1 is to catalyze the base-exchange of a guanine residue with queuine at position 34 (the anticodon wobble position) in tRNAs that code for asparagine, aspartic acid, histidine, and tyrosine . This modification is essential for the proper functioning of tRNAs, as it ensures the accuracy and fidelity of protein synthesis by maintaining the correct folding of nascent proteins .

Biological Pathways

QTRT1 is involved in several critical biological pathways, including tRNA processing and the processing of capped intron-containing pre-mRNA . The enzyme’s activity is crucial for the elongation speed of cognate codons, which in turn affects the overall proteome integrity .

Genetic Information

The QTRT1 gene is located on chromosome 19 in humans. It has several aliases, including TGT, TRNA-Guanine Transglycosylase, and Guanine Insertion Enzyme . A pseudogene of QTRT1 is located on the long arm of chromosome X .

Clinical Significance

Mutations or deficiencies in QTRT1 have been associated with various diseases, including Complement Component 9 Deficiency and Spastic Paraplegia 26, Autosomal Recessive . The enzyme’s role in tRNA modification also links it to broader implications in cellular function and disease states.

Research and Applications

Research into QTRT1 has revealed its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis and its potential as a therapeutic target. The enzyme’s activity is influenced by the gut microbiome, as the microbiome product queuine is required for its function . This connection highlights the interplay between human genetics and microbiome health.
