HBP1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (GST Tag)

HBP1 is a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor. It is involved in many biological processes. It was reported that HBP1 binds to p16 (INK4A) promoter and activates p16 (INK4A) expression. We found that trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of HDAC (histone deacetylase), induces p16 (INK4A) expression in an HBP1-dependent manner. HBP1 activates or represses the expression of some specific genes during cell growth and differentiation. HBP1 was acetylated by p3/CBP in two regions: repression domain (K297/35/37) and P domain (K171/419) . HBP1 acetylation after TSA treatment was confirmed by immunoprecipitation assay. HBP1 interacted with histone acetyltransferase p3 and CREB-binding protein (CBP) and also recruited p3/CBP to p16 (INK4A) promoter. HBP1 acetylation at K419 plays an important role in HBP1-induced p16 (INK4A) expression.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human HBP1 /GST chimera consists of 372 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 42.5 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 43 KDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
