DescriptionAll SUMO isoforms are translated with additional C-terminal residues that have to be removed to generate the active protein. Pro-SUMO-1 (101 amino acids) is the inactive precursor of SUMO-1 (97 amino acids) and is processed at the C-terminus by SUMO-1 specific proteases (SENPs). The resulting SUMO-1 protein has the conserved C-terminal Gly-Gly residues that function in activation and conjugation reactions. This protein can be used as a negative control in sumoylation reactions or as a substrate for SENPs.Molecular Weight (kDa)11.6 kDaFormulation50 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, 10% glycerolSourceExpressed in E.coli expression systemSize100 µgStorage Temp & ConditionsStore at -80°C.
