Product Specs

Introduction
TAR DNA Binding Protein (TARDBP) is initially known for its role as a transcriptional repressor, binding to chromosomally integrated TAR DNA and inhibiting HIV-1 transcription. Additionally, TARDBP has been found in individuals diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition often resembling ALS and linked to athletes who have suffered multiple concussions and other head injuries. TARDBP exhibits the ability to bind both DNA and RNA, playing multiple roles in transcriptional repression, pre-mRNA splicing, and translational regulation.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

TAR DNA Binding Protein (TARDBP), also known as TDP-43, is a protein encoded by the TARDBP gene in humans. This protein is involved in various cellular processes, including transcriptional repression, pre-mRNA splicing, and translational regulation. The recombinant form of TARDBP, specifically the 1-414 amino acid sequence with a His tag, is commonly used in research to study its functions and interactions.

Structure and Production

The recombinant human TARDBP (1-414 a.a.) is produced in E. coli as a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 450 amino acids, including a 36 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus . The total molecular mass of this recombinant protein is approximately 48.8 kDa . The His-tag facilitates purification through affinity chromatography, making it easier to isolate the protein for experimental purposes.

Functions

TARDBP has been shown to bind both DNA and RNA, playing multiple roles in cellular processes . Some of its key functions include:

  • Transcriptional Repression: TARDBP was initially recognized for its role in repressing HIV-1 transcription by binding to chromosomally integrated TAR DNA .
  • RNA Processing: It regulates the splicing of pre-mRNA and is involved in the stability and translation of mRNA .
  • Mitochondrial Homeostasis: TARDBP plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis by regulating the processing of mitochondrial transcripts .
Clinical Relevance

TARDBP is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations in the TARDBP gene have been linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) . Additionally, TARDBP has been detected in individuals diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition often associated with athletes who have experienced multiple concussions .

Research Applications

The recombinant form of TARDBP (1-414 a.a.) with a His tag is widely used in research to study its biochemical properties and interactions. It is particularly useful for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying its role in neurodegenerative diseases and other cellular processes .
