Description

Catalytic Mechanism

  • Substrate Specificity: Repairs O^6^-methylguanine (O^6^-MeG) via a stoichiometric, irreversible reaction where the alkyl group is transferred to a conserved cysteine residue (Cys145\mathrm{Cys}^{145}) .

  • Thermostability: Retains activity at high temperatures (optimal growth of T. sibiricus: 78°C) , making it suitable for industrial processes requiring heat-resistant enzymes.

Recombinant Production and Characterization

Recombinant T. sibiricus OGT is typically expressed in Escherichia coli for high-yield purification .

Research Gaps and Future Directions

  • Structural Studies: No crystal structure of T. sibiricus OGT is available; homology modeling based on Xanthomonas campestris OGT (PDB: 2JLB) suggests conserved active-site geometry .

  • Substrate Range: Further characterization needed to assess activity on non-canonical alkylated bases .

Product Specs

Form
Lyophilized powder. We will ship the in-stock format, but if you have special format requirements, please note them when ordering.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary by purchase method and location. Consult your local distributor for specifics. All proteins ship with blue ice packs. Request dry ice in advance for an extra fee.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute 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 glycerol concentration is 50%.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer, temperature, and protein stability. Liquid form: 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Lyophilized form: 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.

Target Background

Function
Involved in cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) and O4-methylthymine (O4-MeT) in DNA. Repairs methylated DNA bases by transferring the methyl group to a cysteine residue, inactivating the enzyme in a suicide reaction.
