SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein (R203M, D377Y), His Tag

SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein (R203M, D377Y), His Tag (NUN-C52Hn) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Met 1 - Ala 419 (Accession # QHO62115.1 (R203M, D377Y)). The mutations (R203M, D377Y) on nucleocapsid protein were identified in the SARS-CoV-2 Kappa variant (Pango lineage: B.1.617.1; other names: 21A/S:154K).

Background

Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant protein found in coronavirus. CoV N protein is a highly immunogenic phosphoprotein important for viral genome replication and modulation of cell signaling pathways. It was first identified by a research team while they were screening for ADP-ribosylated proteins during coronavirus (CoV) infection (Grunewald M. E., et al. 2017, Virology; 517: 62-68). The array of diverse functional activities accommodated in N protein makes it more than a structural protein but also an interesting target in the development of antiviral therapeutics. Because of the conservation of N protein sequence and its strong immunogenicity, N protein of coronavirus is chosen as a diagnostic tool.

Specifications

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 47.3 kDa. The protein migrates as 55-65 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
