Product Details

C terminal region (LEDGF) of p75

  • Species; Human
  • Expression Host: E. coli
  • Tag: His-tag
  • Purity: 90%
  • Molecular Weight: 24.3 kDa.
  • Gene Accession Number: NM_033222.


Purification and Quality Control

The His-tag recombinant protein is purified by affinity chromatography in combination with FPLC columns.
The purified P75 C Terminal Region is greater than 90% homogeneous based on SDS-PAGE analysis.

Unit Definition (Activity)

1 unit equals 1 nanogram of purified protein. 20-100 units are sufficient for a ligand binding assay and 100 units are sufficient for a protein-protein interaction assay.

Applications

p75 has been applied in in vitro transcription assays, splicing assays, DNA and protein-protein interaction assays.

Formulation and Storage

The protein is in 20mM Tris-HCl pH7.9,100mM NaCl, 0.2mM EDTA, 1mM DTT and 20% glycerol. Stored at -70°C before use. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles.

Synonym

DFS70; LEDGF; MGC74712; p52; PAIP and PSIP2.

Background

Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF, also called as p75) has been shown to enhance survival of lens epithelial cells (LECs) against stress (1). LEDGF is a transcriptional activator. It protects the cells by binding to cis-stress response ((A/T)GGGG(T/A)), and heat shock (HSE; nGAAn) elements in the stress genes and activating their transcription (2). Originally, it was isolated as a co-activator required for transcriptional activation in human cell-free systems containing RNA polymerase II and general initiation factors (3). LEDGF is expressed at all stages of development in a variety of organs and tissues (4). A second protein product, p52, can be produced from the same gene due to alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. In vitro, p52 was found to be more general and stronger transcriptional co-activator than LEDGF/p75 (3,5). HIV-1 integrase (IN) forms a specific nuclear complex with p75 but not with p52, suggesting a role for p75’s C-terminal region in retroviral integration (6).
