Source

E. coli-derived e. coli BirA protein
Lys2-Lys321, with an N-terminal Met & 6-His tag

Purity

>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.

Endotoxin Level

<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

N-terminal Sequence Analysis

Met

Predicted Molecular Mass

36 kDa

SDS-PAGE

30-38 kDa, under reducing conditions

Activity

Measured by its ability to generate pyrophosphate from the biotinylation reaction.  The pyrophosphate is subsequently hydrolyzed using Recombinant Yeast Inorganic Pyrophosphatase/PPA1 (ryPPA1) (Catalog # 8088-PP).

The specific activity is >10.0 pmol/min/μg, as measured under the described conditions.

Background: BirA

BirA, the biotin-protein ligase (BPL) of Escherichia coli, is also known as biotin operon repressor, biotin-[acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] ligase, and biotin-[acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] synthetase. BirA, a member of the group II biotin-protein ligase family, contains an N-terminal helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain, a catalytic core that catalyzes biotinyl 5' adenylate (bio-5'-AMP) synthesis, and a C-terminal domain that plays a role in DNA binding, dimerization, and catalytic function (1). BirA functions both as a DNA-binding protein that represses the biotin biosynthesis operon as well as an enzyme that synthesizes its own corepressor, bio-5'-AMP, an intermediate in biotinylation reactions (1). BirA biotinylates via the lysine side chain of biotin-accepting proteins/peptides, including natural substrate, carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP), and AviTag fusion proteins (1-4). Once biotinylated, (strept)avidin-biotin interactions can be utilized in a wide variety of applications of biochemistry and cell biology, including protein capture, immobilization, multimerizing, and bridging molecules (5).
