Custom Vector Construction | … Using the synthetic gene from GenScript, residues 306–638 (SRα-NG domain) were amplified and subcloned into the pET-His 6 -TEV-LIC vector which allows expression of an N-… | Get A Quote |
The Signal Recognition Particle (SRP) and the SRP receptor (SR) are responsible for protein targeting to the plasma membrane and the protein secretory pathway. Eukaryotic SRα, one of the two proteins that form the SR, is composed of the NG, MoRF and X domains. The SRα-NG domain is responsible for binding to SRP proteins such as SRP54, interacting with RNA, binding and hydrolysing GTP. The ability to produce folded SRα-NG is a prerequisite for structural studies directed towards a better understanding of its molecular mechanism and function, as well as in (counter-)screening assays for potential binders in the drug development pipeline. However, previously reported SRα-NG constructs and purification methods ... More
