Description

Recombinant Production and Purification

MLO8 is typically produced in E. coli using SUMO fusion vectors to enhance solubility . Key steps include:

  1. Cloning: The MLO8 gene (residues 1–593) is inserted into the pE-SUMO vector .

  2. Expression: Induced with IPTG in E. coli cultures .

  3. Purification: SUMO protease cleavage followed by nickel-affinity chromatography .

  4. Yield: ~0.1–1.0 mg/mL post-reconstitution, with >90% purity confirmed via SDS-PAGE .

Applications in Research

Recombinant MLO8 is primarily used for:

  • Antibody Production: As an immunogen for generating anti-MLO8 antibodies .

  • Structural Studies: NMR or crystallography to resolve transmembrane domain architecture .

  • Interaction Screens: Yeast two-hybrid assays to identify binding partners (e.g., calmodulin or receptor kinases) .

Research Gaps and Future Directions

  • Functional Validation: No direct in planta studies confirm MLO8’s role in stress responses or development.

  • Structural Resolution: Full-length 3D structure remains unresolved due to transmembrane complexity .

  • Interaction Networks: Unknown binding partners beyond computational predictions .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: We prioritize shipping the format currently in stock. However, if you have specific format requirements, please indicate them during order placement, and we will accommodate your request.
Lead Time
Delivery time may vary depending on the purchase method and location. Please consult your local distributors for specific delivery timelines.
Note: All our proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. If dry ice shipping is required, please communicate with us beforehand as additional fees will apply.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
We recommend centrifuging the vial briefly before opening to ensure the contents are at the bottom. Reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%. Customers can use this as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is influenced by various factors including storage conditions, buffer components, temperature, and the protein's inherent stability.
Generally, the shelf life of the liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of the lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquoting is necessary for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info

Target Background

Function
This protein may play a role in modulating pathogen defense and leaf cell death. Its activity appears to be regulated by Ca(2+)-dependent calmodulin binding and does not seem to require heterotrimeric G proteins.
