Ubiquitin Rhodamine 110

Catalog number: SBB-PS0001, 50 μg

This product consists of a full-length, mature ubiquitin polypeptide (amino acids 1-76) 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. Typical working range is 50-500nM.

Description

Ubiquitin is a 76 amino acid post-translational modifier expressed throughout all tissues in eukaryotic organisms. The many roles of ubiquitin modification include proteasomal degradation, signal transduction, inflammatory response, and DNA damage repair. Ubiquitin modification occurs through a pyramidal cascade of an E1 activating enzyme, E2 conjugating enzymes ,and an E3 ubiquitin ligases. This enzymatic cascade results in modification of a ε-amine of a lysine residue on a substrate protein. Substrates may either be mono or poly-ubiquitinated by M1, K6, 11, 27, 29, 33, 48 or 63 linkages. Removal of ubiquitin from a substrate protein occurs via deconjugating enzymes, of which there are nearly 100 known enzymes with various specificities.

Figures & Data

Z' & Reaction Progress

Figure 1. Robustness of Rhodamine110 vs 7-amino-4- methylcoumarin (AMC) substrates. Fluorescent substrates (500 nM Ub-Rh110/Ub- AMC) were incubated +/- 5pM UcHL3 in a 384 well plate (n = 16), and progress curves were normalized to the maximum fluorescence signal to produce “% reaction progress”. The Z’ value was calculated at each time-point.

Mass Spectrometry

Figure 2. LCMS. Analysis of Ubiquitin-Rhodamine 110 using LCMS intact mass determination indicates purity greater than 99%, and a molecular weight of 8,934.7 daltons.

Signal : Background

Figure 3. Signal to Background. The signal to background ratio was determined by 100% hydrolysis of either 50nM or 500nM Ubiquitin-Rhodamine 110 to liberate the quenched conjugate. Assay Buffer: 50mM HEPES pH7.5, 100mM NaCl, 1mM TCEP, 0.1mg/ml BSA.
