Product Specs

Introduction
TSNAX, part of the translin protein family, interacts with translin, a DNA-binding protein. This interaction is notable as translin binds to specific DNA sequences found at chromosomal translocation breakpoints. TSNAX and TSN work together as an endonuclease, playing a role in activating the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Notably, TSNAX possesses bipartite nuclear targeting sequences that facilitate the transport of translin, which lacks these sequences, into the nucleus.
Description
Recombinant human TSNAX, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. This protein comprises 313 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 to 290) and has a molecular weight of 35 kDa. For purification purposes, a 23 amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus of TSNAX. The purification process utilizes proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear solution that has undergone sterilization by filtration.
Formulation
The TSNAX protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.2M NaCl, 50% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. If longer storage is required, freezing at -20°C is recommended. The addition of a carrier protein, such as 0.1% HSA or BSA, is advisable for extended storage. It is crucial to avoid repeated cycles of freezing and thawing.
Purity
SDS-PAGE analysis indicates a purity greater than 90.0%.
Synonyms
TRAX, Translin-associated protein X, Translin-associated factor X.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The TSNAX gene is located on chromosome 1q42.2 in humans . The encoded protein contains bipartite nuclear targeting sequences, which may facilitate the nuclear transport of translin, as translin itself lacks nuclear targeting motifs .

Function and Biological Role

TSNAX plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It forms a heteromeric complex with translin, known as the C3PO complex (Component 3 Promoter of RISC), which is involved in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) pathway . This complex facilitates the endonucleolytic cleavage of the passenger strand during microRNA loading into RISC, a critical step in RNA interference .

Additionally, TSNAX has been implicated in several biological processes, including:

  • Multicellular organism development
  • Cell differentiation
  • Spermatogenesis
  • Protein transport
  • Production of siRNA involved in RNA interference
  • RNA phosphodiester bond hydrolysis, endonucleolytic activity
Expression and Localization

TSNAX is expressed in various tissues, including the brain, testis, and certain malignancies . It is predominantly a cytoplasmic protein but can migrate to the nucleus under genotoxic stress . This migration is thought to be involved in chromosomal translocation events and DNA damage response .

Interactions and Complex Formation

TSNAX interacts with several other proteins, including C1D . The interaction with translin is particularly significant as it forms the C3PO complex, which is essential for RNA silencing .

Clinical Significance

Mutations or dysregulation of the TSNAX gene have been associated with various diseases, including deafness (autosomal recessive 39) and intellectual developmental disorder (autosomal dominant 4) .

Research and Applications

The recombinant form of TSNAX is used in research to study its role in RNA interference and other cellular processes. Understanding the function and regulation of TSNAX can provide insights into its involvement in disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
