Description

Introduction to Recombinant Pig Protein ATP1B4

Recombinant Pig Protein ATP1B4 (ATP1B4) is a engineered version of the native βm protein, a member of the X,K-ATPase β-subunit family. While ancestral ATP1B4 genes encode functional Na,K-ATPase β-subunits in non-mammalian vertebrates, eutherians (placental mammals) co-opted ATP1B4 for novel roles in transcriptional regulation and muscle development . The recombinant form is produced via genetic engineering for research into its structural, functional, and evolutionary properties.

Native Protein Properties

FeatureDescriptionSource
Tissue SpecificityExpressed predominantly in skeletal muscle, heart, and skin; higher in newborns than adults.
Subcellular LocalizationResides in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (intracellular) rather than plasma membrane.
GlycosylationContains carbohydrate modifications similar to human βm; critical for structural stability.
Evolved RoleLost ancestral Na,K-ATPase function; acquired Glu-rich N-terminal domain for transcriptional regulation.

Recombinant Protein Design

ATP1B4 is typically expressed in heterologous systems (e.g., E. coli, yeast, or mammalian cells) to study its interactions and regulatory functions:

  • Expression Systems:

    Host OrganismVectorPurification TagYield/NotesSource
    E. colipET22bHis-tagHigh yield; forms inclusion bodies.
    Yeast2-micron plasmidN/AHigh-copy expression; functional studies.
    Mammalian cellsN/AN/AProper glycosylation; nuclear localization.

Functional Roles

  1. Transcriptional Regulation:

    • ATP1B4 binds to the distal regulatory region (DRR) of MyoD, a muscle regulatory factor, promoting chromatin remodeling and gene activation .

    • Recruits SWI/SNF complex subunit BRG1 to enhance histone acetylation and H3K4 trimethylation at MyoD loci .

  2. Metabolic Regulation:

    • Ablation of Atp1b4 in mice reduces adiposity, improves insulin sensitivity, and increases energy expenditure, suggesting a role in lipid metabolism .

    • Upregulates β-oxidation genes (e.g., PDK4, CPT-1b) and downregulates adipogenic genes (e.g., PPARγ, Lpl) .

  3. Developmental Significance:

    • Expressed during perinatal development; critical for neonatal muscle maturation and chromatin remodeling .

    • Conservation of noncoding sequences across species indicates regulatory importance .

Challenges and Technical Considerations

  1. Expression and Purification:

    • E. coli systems may yield misfolded proteins requiring refolding .

    • Mammalian systems are preferred for functional studies due to proper glycosylation and nuclear localization .

  2. Functional Validation:

    • Deglycosylation assays confirm carbohydrate content critical for structural integrity .

    • Western blotting with anti-His or anti-Cap antibodies verifies recombinant protein identity .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference in order notes for customized fulfillment.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchase method and location. Please consult your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: Standard shipping includes blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires prior arrangement and incurs additional charges.
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 consolidate 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% and serves as a guideline.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on 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. Aliquot for multiple uses to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
