Description

General Overview of DnaK in Deinococcus Species

DnaK is a member of the Hsp70 heat shock protein family, functioning as a molecular chaperone that assists in protein folding, prevents aggregation under stress, and participates in DNA repair processes. In Deinococcus proteolyticus, this protein is critical for survival under extreme conditions, such as oxidative stress and UV radiation, which aligns with the genus’s renowned resilience .

Key Features of DnaK:

  • Domain Structure:

    • N-terminal ATPase domain (binds ATP)

    • Substrate-binding domain (interacts with client proteins)

    • C-terminal lid region (regulates substrate release)

  • Role in Stress Response:
    Facilitates renaturation of denatured proteins during environmental stress .

Recombinant DnaK Production

While no studies explicitly describe the recombinant production of D. proteolyticus DnaK, protocols for homologous proteins in D. radiodurans and other extremophiles provide a framework:

Typical Cloning and Expression Workflow:

StepDescriptionHost SystemReference
Gene AmplificationPartial dnaK gene cloned from D. proteolyticus genomic DNAPCR-based
Vector ConstructionInsertion into pET or pGEX vectors for expressionE. coli BL21(DE3)
Protein PurificationAffinity chromatography (e.g., His-tag) followed by size-exclusion chromatography

DNA RepairRecA, RecFORRestores genome integrity post-irradiation

D. proteolyticus exhibits enhanced oxidative stress resistance compared to D. radiodurans, suggesting potential differences in chaperone activity or regulation .

Research Gaps and Future Directions

No peer-reviewed studies directly characterize recombinant D. proteolyticus DnaK. Critical unanswered questions include:

  1. Structural Specificity: How does the partial sequence affect ATPase or substrate-binding activity?

  2. Functional Redundancy: Does DnaK collaborate with other chaperones (e.g., DdrB) under stress?

  3. Biotechnological Applications: Potential use in industrial protein refolding systems.

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will ship the available format, but you can request a specific format when ordering.
Lead Time
Delivery time varies by purchase method and location. Consult local distributors for details. Proteins are shipped with blue ice packs by default; dry ice shipping is available upon request for an extra fee.
Notes
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Working aliquots are stable at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute in sterile deionized water to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Add 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer, temperature, and protein stability. Liquid form is generally stable for 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form is generally stable for 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
