The properties of the additional tag facilitate identification and provide a one-step purification procedure of the fusion protein by passing cell extracts or supernatants through columns of an appropriate matrix. FLAG peptide allows elution under non-denaturing conditions. Several antibodies against FLAG peptide have been developed. One antibody, M1, binds the peptide in the presence of bivalent metal cations, preferably Ca 2+. Elution is effected by chelating agents. Another strategy is competitive elution with excess of free FLAGe peptide. Antibodies M2 and M5 are applied in this procedure. The Flag-tag is first described as a calcium-dependent epitope of a monoclonal antibody. It is a highly acidic octapeptide which can be N-terminally fused to the protein of interest. As a very hydrophilic peptide the Flag–tag has a high surface probability. Flag-fusion proteins can be captured by an immunoaffinity column in the presence of Ca 2+ and eluted byEDTA at low concentrations, neutral pH and thus, nearly physiological conditions. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.Form:Solid...

HSPD1 may function as a signaling molecule in the innate immune system. This protein is essential for the folding and assembly of newly imported proteins in the mitochondria. It may also prevent misfolding and promote the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions in the mitochondrial matrix. HSPD1 gene is adjacent to a related family member and the region between the 2 genes functions as a bidirectional promoter. Several pseudogenes have been associated with this gene. Mutations associated with this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 13. Defects in HSPD1 are a cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 13 (SPG13). Spastic paraplegia is a degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Defects in HSPD1 are the cause of leukodystrophy hypomyelinating type 4 (HLD4); also called mitochondrial HSP60 chaperonopathy or MitCHAP-60 disease. HLD4 is a severe autosomal recessive hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. HSPD1 is clinically characterized by infantile-onset rotary nystagmus, progressive spastic paraplegia, neurologic regression, motor impairment, profound mental retardation. Death usually occurs within the first two decades of life... Read More |
