Ku70 & Ku80 Heterodimer Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 5, also known as 86 kDa subunit of Ku antigen, ATP-dependent DNA helicase 2 subunit 2, ATP-dependent DNA helicase II 8 kDa subunit, CTC box-binding factor 85 kDa subunit, DNA repair protein XRCC5, Lupus Ku autoantigen protein p86, TLAA and XRCC5, is a nucleus and chromosome which belongs to the ku8 family. XRCC5 is a single-stranded DNA-dependent ATP-dependent helicase. XRCC5 has a role in chromosome translocation. X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 6, also known as 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase Ku7, ATP-dependent DNA helicase 2 subunit 1, ATP-dependent DNA helicase II 7 kDa subunit, 7 kDa subunit of Ku antigen, ATP-dependent DNA helicase 2 subunit 1, CTC box-binding factor 75 kDa subunit, Lupus Ku autoantigen protein p7, Thyroid-lupus autoantigen and XRCC6, is a nucleus and chromosome which belongs to the ku7 family. Heterodimer of a XRCC6 and a XRCC5 subunit associates in a DNA-dependent manner with PRKDC to form the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK, and with the LIG4-XRCC4 complex. The dimer also associates with NAA15, and this complex binds to the osteocalcin promoter and activates osteocalcin 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 20mM Tris, 500mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 8.0 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 heterodimer of human XRCC5/XRCC5 comprises 1379 (751 + 628) amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 157 (85 + 72) kDa. The apparent molecular mass of rh XRCC5/XRCC5 heterodimer is approximately 70 & 85 kDa respectively 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.

A DNA sequence encoding the XRCC5 (P13010) (Met 1-Ile 732) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus, constructed the plasmid 1; A DNA sequence encoding the XRCC6 (P12956) (Met 1-Asp 609) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus, constructed the plasmid 2. The two plasmids were co-expressed and the heterodimer was purified.
