Description

TEV protease encoded by the tobacco etch virus is a catalytic domain of the Nuclear Inclusion a (NIa) protein. It is consists of 241 a.a. amino acids with the molecular weight of 27kDa. It contains N-terminal His-tag.

Source: Escherichia coli.

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme needed to cleave 3 ug of fusion protein in 1 hour to 85 % completion at 30C in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5 mM EDTA, and 1 mM DTT.

TEV recognizes the amino acid sequence of the general form E-X-X-Y-X-Q (or S)/X’, and cleaves between Q (or S)/X’. In this form X and X’ stand for any of the amino acid residues, except that X’ cannot be P. The optimal cleavage site is ENLYFQ/G.

Purity

>90%, by SDS-PAGE

Predicted Molecular Mass

27 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

TEV recognizes the amino acid sequence of the general form E-X-X-Y-X-Q (or S)/X', and cleaves between Q (or S)/X'. In this form X and X' stand for any of the amino acid residues, except that X' cannot be P. The optimal cleavage site is ENLYFQ/G. As having the absolute specificity and wildly using conditions like broad pH range and ionic strength, the TEV protease became more versatile than EK, thrombin and other protease used in biochemical applications, especially recombinant protein production.

Application Notes

The optimal temperature for cleavage is 30C; however, the enzyme can be used at temperatures as low as 4C.

Background: TEV Protease

TEV Protease is the 241 amino acid (aa), 27 kDa catalytic domain of the nuclear inclusion a (NIa) protein encoded by the potyvirus, tobacco etch virus (TEV). It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally or in vitro following purification. Its high specificity and activity at a wide range of pH and ionic strength make TEV Protease more versatile than many other proteases used for the same purpose. Unlike factor Xa, enteropeptidase or thrombin, TEV Protease has not been found to cleave at unintended sites, even when present at a high concentration. TEV Protease is a 3C-type protease that cleaves substrates with a consensus sequence of ENLYFQG. Cleavage occurs between Q and G. Since the final aa remains on the cleaved protein where it could potentially affect structure or function, substitution of a variety of aa have been tested. In order of efficiency, S, A, M, Y, D, N, E, K or L may be effectively used in place of G. Several of the remaining aa may also vary, giving a final consensus sequence of ExxYF(M)Q(E)/G(S, A or others) where aa in parenthesis are alternatives and x is any aa. The autocatalytic site of NIa at S2256 has been mutated to an N for improved stability of the protease.
