Research Gaps and Opportunities

While structural data and production protocols are well-documented , functional studies specific to mouse Fsd1 remain limited. Current knowledge extrapolates from:

  1. Human fibronectin fragments (e.g., roles in osteoblast mineralization and autophagy) .

  2. SPRY domain functions in other proteins (e.g., immune regulation) .

Further studies could explore its role in tissue repair, cancer metastasis, or metabolic regulation, leveraging recombinant Fsd1’s modular domains .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we will prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify any format requirements in your order notes for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs unless dry ice shipping is requested in advance. Additional fees apply for dry ice shipping.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can serve as a guideline for your preparations.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on several factors, including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is essential for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Q&A

Recombinant Mouse Fibronectin type III and SPRY domain-containing protein 1 (Fsd1) is a structurally complex protein involved in microtubule organization and cytokinesis, with applications in cellular biology and mechanistic studies. Below are FAQs organized by research complexity, incorporating methodological guidance and data-driven insights from peer-reviewed sources and technical documentation.

What are the critical structural domains of recombinant mouse Fsd1 and their functional implications?

Fsd1 contains three conserved domains:

  • B-box (BBC) domain: Mediates protein-protein interactions and subcellular localization .

  • Fibronectin type III domain: Facilitates extracellular matrix interactions and structural stabilization .

  • SPRY domain: Regulates signal transduction and microtubule binding .

DomainFunctionExperimental Validation Methods
B-box (BBC)Centrosome associationImmunofluorescence, co-immunoprecipitation
FibronectinStructural stabilityCircular dichroism, thermal shift assays
SPRYMicrotubule interactionIn vitro microtubule polymerization assays

Methodological Note: Domain-specific functional studies require tag-free or cleavable-tag protein variants to avoid steric interference .

Which expression systems are optimal for producing recombinant mouse Fsd1 with preserved activity?

Comparative data from multiple production systems:

Host SystemPurityTagFunctional Validation Status
HEK-293 Cells>90%His/StrepPartial activity in WB/ELISA
Wheat Germ>80%GSTLimited functional data
Cell-Free Synthesis70-80%Myc-DDKNot validated

Recommendation: HEK-293 systems yield higher purity and are preferred for structural studies, while cell-free systems suit high-throughput screening .

How can researchers resolve discrepancies in Fsd1’s reported microtubule-stabilizing activity across studies?

Common sources of contradiction and solutions:

IssueResolution Strategy
Tag interferenceUse cleavable tags (e.g., TEV protease sites)
Batch variabilityValidate via analytical SEC/HPLC and SDS-PAGE
Assay specificityEmploy orthogonal methods (e.g., TIRF microscopy + co-sedimentation assays)

Case Example: A 2025 study using Strep-tagged Fsd1 reported reduced microtubule affinity compared to His-tagged variants, highlighting tag-dependent artifacts .

What strategies are effective for probing Fsd1’s role in cytokinesis using recombinant protein?

A phased experimental framework:

  • In vitro reconstitution: Combine Fsd1 with purified tubulin and monitor microtubule dynamics via live imaging .

  • Domain truncation: Generate ΔBBC or ΔSPRY mutants to identify critical regions for cytokinesis .

  • Crosslinking-MS: Map interaction partners in mitotic cell lysates .

Key Consideration: Functional studies require ultracentrifugation-purified Fsd1 (>95% purity) to exclude chaperone contaminants .

How should researchers validate Fsd1 stability under diverse experimental conditions?

Stability profiling parameters:

ConditionStability ThresholdAnalytical Method
Temperature (-80°C)12 monthsSize-exclusion chromatography
Freeze-thaw cycles≤3 cyclesWestern blot (anti-tag)
pH (6.0–8.0)Retains >80% activityIntrinsic fluorescence

Protocol Note: Buffer composition (e.g., 20 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl) is critical for preventing aggregation .
