Description

Introduction to Recombinant Renibacterium salmoninarum Protein CrcB Homolog (crcB)

The Recombinant Renibacterium salmoninarum Protein CrcB homolog (crcB) is a protein of interest due to its potential role in mitigating fluoride toxicity, although specific information about its recombinant form in Renibacterium salmoninarum is limited. Renibacterium salmoninarum is a Gram-positive bacterium known for causing bacterial kidney disease in salmonid fish . The crcB gene is commonly associated with fluoride riboswitches in various bacteria and archaea, where it is involved in regulating genes that help counteract fluoride toxicity .

Background on Fluoride Riboswitches and CrcB Proteins

Fluoride riboswitches are RNA structures that sense fluoride ions and regulate downstream genes, including those encoding CrcB proteins. These proteins are proposed to function as fluoride transporters, helping to reduce intracellular fluoride levels . In bacteria like Pseudomonas putida, the absence of crcB significantly increases sensitivity to fluoride, highlighting its protective role .

Research Findings on CrcB Proteins

OrganismRole of CrcBFluoride Concentration Impact
E. coliFluoride transportImpaired growth at 50 mM fluoride
Pseudomonas putidaFluoride resistanceGrowth suppressed above 0.5 mM fluoride in ΔcrcB mutant
Streptococcus mutansFluoride resistanceEncodes EriC^F^ proteins instead of CrcB

Potential Applications and Future Research

While specific studies on the recombinant Renibacterium salmoninarum Protein CrcB homolog are lacking, understanding its role in fluoride resistance could provide insights into developing strategies for managing fluoride toxicity in various organisms. Further research is needed to explore its potential applications in biotechnology and environmental science.

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference during order placement 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. Dry ice shipping requires advance notification 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 collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile deionized 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 standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can serve as a guideline.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on several factors, including storage conditions, buffer components, 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
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquoting is essential for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
