Activity

Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application. IMPORTANT: Heating this product in SDS-PAGE buffer or terminating reactions containing this product with heated SDS-PAGE buffer could lead to unexpected, high apparent molecular weight banding or smearing on gels that is not representative of product purity. For optimal results, we recommend incubation in SDS-PAGE buffer + DTT at <40 °C for 20 minutes prior to gel electrophoresis.

Background: Tetra-Ubiquitin

Ubiquitin chains vary in length, linkage, and function. K11-linked Tetra-Ubiquitin Chains (Ub4) are ideal for investigating Ubiquitin-binding proteins and as substrates for Ubiquitin-specific isopeptidases. Linkage specific Poly-Ubiquitin chains may be used as a substrate for in vitro reactions with deubiquitinating enzymes ("DUB's") that cleave the peptide or isopeptide linkage between adjacent Ubiquitin molecules. Poly-Ubiquitin chains can also be used to investigate mechanisms of binding and recognition between the chains and other proteins that contain Ubiquitin-Associated domains (UBAs), Ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs), ZnF's and/or other Ubiquitin-sensing elements. K11-linked Tetra-Ubiquitin chains are manufactured using recombinant Ubiquitin and purely enzymatic techniques to avoid the potential for contaminating synthetic intermediates.
