Introduction
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4B (VPS4B) is a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family. It plays a role in the final stages of the endosomal multivesicular bodies (MVB) pathway. VPS4B interacts with membrane-bound ESCRT-III complexes and facilitates their disassembly, likely in conjunction with membrane fission. Dominant negative mutations of VPS4B hinder vacuolar protein sorting and also interfere with HIV-1 and MLV budding.
Description
Recombinant human VPS4B, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 468 amino acids (with amino acids 1-444 present) and has a molecular weight of 51.8kDa. This VPS4B protein is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at its N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution, sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The VPS4B protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 0.25mg/ml. The solution also contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 30% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 90% using SDS-PAGE analysis.
