TFB1M Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 340 amino acids (28-346 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 38.8kDa.
TFB1M is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
As a member of the methyltransferase superfamily, TFB1M functions as a dimethyltransferase that specifically methylates mitochondrial 12S rRNA at its conserved stem loop. This protein is an integral component of the basal mitochondrial transcription complex and plays a critical role in mitochondrial gene expression. Importantly, TFB1M exhibits the ability to stimulate transcription independent of its methyltransferase activity.
Recombinant TFB1M Human, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 340 amino acids (28-346 a.a.). With a molecular weight of 38.8 kDa, it features a 21 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
The TFB1M protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol, 0.1 M NaCl, and 1 mM DTT.
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, freezing at -20°C is recommended. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain product integrity.

TFB1M is encoded by the TFB1M gene, which is located on chromosome 6q25.3 . The protein consists of 346 amino acids and shares homology with bacterial rRNA dimethyltransferases . This homology suggests that TFB1M has evolved from an RNA-modifying enzyme, which is reflected in its dual functionality.
TFB1M is a part of the basal mitochondrial transcription complex. It works in conjunction with mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to initiate and regulate the transcription of mtDNA . TFB1M binds to the mitochondrial light strand promoter (LSP) and enhances transcription from LSP by TFAM .
In addition to its role in transcription, TFB1M also functions as a dimethyltransferase. It methylates the conserved stem loop of mitochondrial 12S rRNA, which is necessary for the assembly or stability of the small subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome . This methylation is crucial for normal mitochondrial translation, metabolism, and cell growth .
Mutations or dysregulation of TFB1M can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which is associated with various human diseases. For example, TFB1M has been linked to Bardet-Biedl Syndrome 18 and progressive leukoencephalopathy with ovarian failure . Understanding the function and regulation of TFB1M is therefore critical for developing therapeutic interventions for mitochondrial-related diseases.
Research on TFB1M continues to uncover its multifaceted roles in mitochondrial biology. The protein’s ability to act both as a transcription factor and an rRNA modification enzyme makes it a unique target for therapeutic interventions aimed at correcting mitochondrial dysfunctions .
In conclusion, Transcription Factor B1, Mitochondrial (Human Recombinant) is a vital component of the mitochondrial transcription machinery. Its dual role in transcription and rRNA modification underscores its importance in maintaining mitochondrial function and cellular energy metabolism.
