Recombinant E.Coli Thiol Disulfide Interchange Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. Recombinant DsbE produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 161 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.1 kDa. DsbE is purified by conventional chromatography techniques. DsbE is a reducing Dsb protein involved in electron transfer for cytochrome c maturation in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. DsbE is one of 12 proteins required for their assembly in the periplasm. DsbE functions is to decrease disulphide bonds formed among correctly paired cysteine residues in the cytochrome c apoproteins prior to haem attachment by CcmF and CcmH.
