Shipped with Ice Packs
In Stock

Description

Definition and Structure

  • Gene Origin: The rplL gene encodes a 122-amino-acid protein (MANHEQIIEAIKEMSVLELN...LK) with a molecular weight of 28.7 kDa .

  • Ribosomal Role: L7/L12 forms a pentameric structure (L7/L12)₅ in the ribosomal stalk, facilitating interactions with elongation factors (e.g., EF-G, EF-Tu) to regulate translation speed and accuracy .

  • Expression Hosts: Recombinant production is achieved in E. coli, yeast, baculovirus, or mammalian cells, with tags such as His-SUMO or AviTag for purification .

Research Use

  • Antibiotic Resistance Studies: Mutations in rplL (e.g., Gly152Asp, Gly155Arg) are linked to resistance to oxazolidinones (linezolid, torezolid) and other antibiotics .

  • Diagnostic Development: Detecting L7/L12 in urine or lung homogenates serves as a biomarker for Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, with levels correlating to bacterial load .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will 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 by purchase method and location. Consult your local distributor for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with blue ice packs by default. For dry ice shipment, please contact us in advance; extra 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 the protein 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 components, storage temperature, and protein stability. Generally, the liquid form has a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while the lyophilized form has a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
The tag type will be determined during production. If you have a specific tag type requirement, please inform us, and we will prioritize developing it.
