Wild type ubiquitin

Manufactured by Merck Group

Wild-type ubiquitin is a small, highly conserved protein that plays a crucial role in cellular processes. It functions as a post-translational modification that targets proteins for degradation or other cellular functions. The core function of wild-type ubiquitin is to covalently attach to target proteins, marking them for destruction by the proteasome or regulating their activities within the cell.

Polyhistidine-tagged UBE2D1 (UbcH5a) and Glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-tagged ICP0.241 (amino acids 1–241 of ICP0 encompassing the C3HC4 RING-finger domain) were purified from bacterial extracts using affinity isolation chromatography, as described previously [6] (link). Polyhistidine-tagged E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme was purified from baculovirus-infected cell extracts, as described previously [6] (link). Wild-type ubiquitin (Sigma–Aldrich; U6253) and methylated-ubiquitin (BostonBiochem; U-501) were purchased from commercial sources.

Unanchored K63-linked polyubiquitin chains were prepared by incubating 0.05 µM E1 (HisUba1), 2 µM HisUbc13-Mms2 and 0.5 µM E3 (Pib1RING+100aa)48 (link) in a 1 ml reaction containing 40 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 8 mM magnesium acetate, 50 mM NaCl and 30 µM ATP. Wildtype ubiquitin (purified bovine ubiquitin, Sigma) was used at a concentration of 8 µM and 4 µM of ubiquitin mutant K63R was added for capping of the chains. The reaction was incubated for 1.5 h at 30 °C and 1–4 µl of the chain reaction were used in GST-pulldown assays.

Structural Analysis of Proteins with CD Spectroscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Either 0.5 mg/ml wild type ubiquitin (Sigma) or 0.2 mg/ml Pol beta K61Plk were mixed in 25 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl with different concentrations of SDS or NLS. After incubation at 4 °C for 1 h, far UV CD spectra from 250 to 200 nm were recorded using a Jasco J 815 CD spectrometer. To additionally measure a spectrum of fully denatured ubiquitin and Pol beta, the proteins were mixed with 30 mM SDS and heated for 5 min at 95 °C before measurement.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
