Recombinant E.Coli Thiol Disulfide Interchange Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. Recombinant DsbG produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 232 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 25.8 kDa. DsbG is purified by conventional chromatography techniques. Dsb proteins are in charge for the formation and rearrangement of disulfide bonds during the folding of secreted and membrane proteins in bacteria. DsbG has disulfide bond isomerase and chaperone activity. DsbG interacts with refolding intermediates of chemically denatured citrate synthase and prevents their aggregation in vitro. DsbG shares sequnce homology with DsbC. DsbG forms a stable periplasmic dimer and displays an equilibrium constant with glutathione comparable with DsbA and DsbC. DsbG is expressed at roughly 25% level of DsbC.
