ISG15 Rhodamine 110
Catalog number: SBB-PS0002, 50 μg
This product consists of a full-length, mature ISG15 polypeptide (amino acids 2-157) recombinantly expressed in E.coli, conjugated on its c-terminus to a quenched Rhodamine110 dye. Hydrolysis of the conjugate results in fluorescence observable by excitation at 485nm and emission at 535nm, which substantially reduces the risk of autofluorescence of compounds in screenings (Hassapien et al., 2007). Typical working range is 50-500nM.

Description
ISG15 (Interferon Stimulated Gene, 15kDa) is a Ubiquitin like modifier which initiates innate immune response by activating RIG-I signaling, stimulating NK-cell proliferation, inhibiting viral budding, and acting as an IFNγ-inducing cytokine. ISG15 contains two tandem ubiquitin homology domains and is cross-reactive with α-Ubiquitin antibodies. Conjugation of ISG15 to a substrate protein occurs through a Ubiquitin like cascade via an E1 (UBE1L), E2 (UbcH8/UBE2L6) and E3 (not yet discovered.) Deconjugation normally occurs via UBP43 (USP18), however there are several viral proteases that are able to hydrolyze ISG15 conjugates in order to evade immune response. These include the OTU-containing protease of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever nairovirus, and the Papain-Like Protease (PLPro) of the SARS coronavirus.

Figures & Data
Z' & Reaction Progress
Figure 1. Robustness of Rhodamine 110 vs 7-amino-4- methylcoumarin (AMC) substrates. Fluorescent substrates (500 nM ISG15-Rh110/ ISG15-AMC) were incubated with and without 100 pM PLpro (SARS Papain-Like-Protease) in a 384 well plate (n = 16), and progress curves were normalized to the maximum fluorescence signal to produce “% reaction progress”. The Z’ value, a statistical parameter widely used in the evaluation of screening assays, was calculated at each time-point.
Mass Spectrometry
Figure 2. LCMS. Analysis of ISG15-Rhodamine 110 using LCMS intact mass determination indicates purity greater than 97%, and a molecular weight of 17,667.9 daltons.
Signal : Background
Figure 3. Signal to Background. The signal to background ratio was determined by 100% hydrolysis of either 50nM or 500nM ISG15-Rhodamine 110 to liberate the quenched conjugate. Assay Buffer: 50mM HEPES pH7.5, 100mM NaCl, 1mM TCEP, 0.1mg/ml BSA.
