SV40 T-Antigen (Simian Virus 40 Large Antigen)

• Species: Simian Virus
• Expression Host: Baculovirus-insect cell
• Tag: His-tag
• Purity: 95%
• Molecular Weight: 83.3 kDa.
• Gene Accession Number: AAG39214.1.

Purification and Quality Control
The His-tag recombinant protein is purified by affinity chromatography in combination with FPLC columns.
The purified SV40 T-Antigen is greater than 95% homogeneous based on SDS-PAGE analysis.

Unit Definition (Activity)
1 unit equals 1 nanogram of purified protein. 50-500 units are sufficient for an in vitro unwinding assay and 100 units are sufficient for a protein-protein interaction assay.

Applications
Recombinant SV40 T antigen can be used for: 1) DNA unwinding assay; 2) DNA replication assay; 3) DNA binding assays; 4) protein-protein interaction assays; and 5) cell growth assay.

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.

Background
The large T antigen (TAg) of Simian virus 40 acts as an initiator of DNA replication, participates in cellular transformation, and induces cell growth (1-4). A number of functional domains have been characterized including the N-terminal J domain, nuclear localization signal (NLS), internal helicase domain, Rb and topoisomerase I interacting domain, p53 and ATP binding domain (5,6). The p53-interacting domain is also essential for binding p300/CBP (7). Phosphorylation of TAg by several kinases may regulate its function both positively and negatively (8).
