Introduction
Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 5 (UBA5) is a member of the ubiquitin-activating E1 family and UBA5 subfamily. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins are recognized as covalently conjugated to various cellular substrates by a three-step enzymatic pathway. The ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) has a vital role in the first step of the ubiquitination pathway to activate ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins. UBA5 activates a ubiquitin-like protein, ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (Ufm1), by forming a high-energy thioester bond. UBA5 is located primarily in the cytoplasm, while it generally localizes to the nucleus in the presence of SUMO2.
Description
Recombinant human UBA5 produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 428 amino acids (1-404) and having a molecular mass of 47.4 kDa. UBA5 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Colorless, sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The UBA5 solution (0.5 mg/ml) is supplied in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1 mM DTT, 10% glycerol, and 50 mM NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), store at 4°C. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. It is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% purity as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Synonyms
Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 5, Ubiquitin-activating enzyme 5, ThiFP1, UFM1-activating enzyme, Ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 domain-containing protein 1, UBA5, UBE1DC1.
