Description

Recombinant Production in L. citreum

L. citreum has been engineered for recombinant protein expression using bicistronic systems (BCD), which enhance translational efficiency . While Era-specific protocols are not documented, analogous workflows would involve:

  1. Vector Design:

    • Cloning the era gene under a constitutive promoter (e.g., cp-derived promoters ).

    • Optimizing Shine-Dalgarno sequences (e.g., engineered SD2 in BCD systems) to boost expression .

  2. Expression Outcomes:

    • Expected yields: ~10–20 mg/L based on similar proteins (e.g., α-amylase) .

    • Challenges: Era’s GTPase activity may require chaperones or co-expression with ribosomal components for stability.

Functional Insights from Homologs

  • Role in Ribosome Assembly:
    Era ensures proper 16S rRNA folding by coordinating GTP hydrolysis with RNA binding, a mechanism conserved from bacteria to humans . Mutations in the GTPase domain (e.g., T99I in E. coli) disrupt ribosome biogenesis, leading to growth defects .

  • Regulatory Interactions:
    Era’s activity is modulated by nucleotides (GDP/GTP) and ribosomal proteins (e.g., S18) . In L. citreum, analogous partnerships likely exist but remain uncharacterized.

Research Gaps and Future Directions

  • Unresolved Questions:

    • Does L. citreum Era require unique cofactors?

    • How does its KH domain recognize rRNA in this species?

  • Applications:

    • Biotechnology: Engineered Era variants could optimize ribosome assembly in synthetic biology platforms.

    • Disease Models: Studying Era homologs (e.g., ERAL1 in human mitochondria) informs therapies for ribosomopathies like Perrault syndrome .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will preferentially ship the format we have in stock. If you have special format requirements, please note them when ordering, and we will fulfill your request.
Lead Time
Delivery time varies based on purchasing method and location. Consult your local distributors for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. For dry ice shipping, please contact us in advance; additional fees apply.
Notes
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening to collect contents at the bottom. Reconstitute protein in sterile deionized water to a concentration of 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% for your reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer components, storage temperature, and protein stability. Generally, the liquid form is stable for 6 months at -20°C/-80°C, while the lyophilized form is 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.
