Description

Relevance to S. maltophilia Biology

While the provided literature does not directly address recombinant S. maltophilia TGT, insights can be inferred from related systems:

  • Antibacterial Competitiveness:

    • S. maltophilia employs secretion systems (e.g., T4SS) and effectors like nucleases (e.g., TfdA) to outcompete rival bacteria . Though TGT is not explicitly linked to interbacterial competition, tRNA modifications may enhance translational efficiency during stress.

  • Antibiotic Resistance:

    • S. maltophilia encodes diverse resistance mechanisms, including efflux pumps (e.g., SmeDEF) and antibiotic-modifying enzymes (e.g., tetracycline destructase SmTetX) . TGT’s role in stress adaptation could indirectly support survival under antibiotic pressure.

Research Gaps and Future Directions

The provided materials lack direct studies on recombinant S. maltophilia TGT. Key unresolved questions include:

  • Functional Characterization:

    • Substrate specificity, kinetic parameters, and structural details of the S. maltophilia enzyme.

  • Role in Pathogenesis:

    • Potential contributions to virulence, biofilm formation, or host immune evasion.

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will preferentially ship the format we have in stock. If you have specific format requirements, please note them when ordering, and we will fulfill your request.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributor for specific delivery times. All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. For dry ice shipping, please contact us in advance; additional charges will 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 the contents at the bottom. 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 default final glycerol concentration is 50% for your reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on several factors, including storage conditions, buffer components, storage temperature, and protein stability. Generally, the liquid form has a shelf life of 6 months at -20°C/-80°C, while the lyophilized form has a shelf life of 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.
Tag Info
The tag type will be determined during the manufacturing process. If you have a specific tag type requirement, please inform us, and we will prioritize developing the specified tag.

Target Background

Function
Queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase (tgt) catalyzes the replacement of guanine (G) with the queuine precursor 7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine (PreQ1) at position 34 (anticodon wobble position) in tRNAs with GU(N) anticodons (tRNA-Asp, -Asn, -His, and -Tyr). This occurs via a double-displacement mechanism. The active site nucleophile attacks the C1' of nucleotide 34, removing guanine and forming a covalent enzyme-RNA intermediate. The active site proton acceptor deprotonates PreQ1, enabling it to attack the C1' of the ribose and form the product. After dissociation, two further enzymatic reactions convert PreQ1 to queuine (Q), creating the hypermodified nucleoside queuosine (7-(((4,5-cis-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)amino)methyl)-7-deazaguanosine).
