Enoyl-ACP Reductase Protein, E. coli, Recombinant (His Tag)

Enoyl-ACP reductase, also known as NADH-dependent enoyl-ACP reductase and FABI, is a cell inner membrane and peripheral membrane protein which belongs to theshort-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family and FabI subfamily. Microorganisms produce many kinds of antibiotics which function in an antagonistic capacity in nature where they have much competition. Bacterial FAS provides essential fatty acids for use in the assembly of key cellular components. Among them, FABI is an enoyl-ACP reductase which catalyzes the final and rate-limiting step of bacterial FAS. The antibiotic diazaborine interferes with the activity by binding to the protein. FABI is a potential target for selective antibacterial action, because it shows low overall sequence homology with mammalian enzymes. Various compounds have been reported as inhibitors of bacterial FabI-inhibitory compounds.

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 0.5M NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 7.5 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 E.coli FABI consisting of 276 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 29.5 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 33 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.
