Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO, Smt3) is commonly used as a protein fusion domain to facilitate expression and purification of recombinant proteins, and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived SUMO-specific protease(Ulp1) is then used to remove SUMO tag from these proteins in a ‘scarless’ manner. SUMO Protease cleaves in a highly specific manner, recognizing the tertiary structure of the SUMO tag, rather than an amino acid sequence, and hydrolyzes the peptide bond in the x-Gly-Gly-x sequence after the Gly-Gly bond at the C-terminus of the SUMO tag. The SUMO Protease cleavage proteins over wide ranges of temperature (4℃-30℃), ionic strengths(0-400 mM NaCl) and pH(7.0-9.0), and easily removed from the cleavage reaction by Immobilized Metal Affinity chromatography (IMAC).
1. SUMO Protease;
2. 10X SUMO Protease Buffer + Salt: 500 mM PB, pH 7.4, 2% Igepal (NP-40), 1.5 M NaCl, 10 mM DTT;
3. 10X SUMO Protease Buffer – Salt: 500 mM PB, pH 7.4, 2% Igepal (NP-40), 10 mM DTT;
1.Add the following to a microcentrifuge tube:
Fusion Protein | 20μg |
10X SUMO Protease Buffer +/– Salt
| 5μl |
SUMO Protease | 10U |
ddH2O
| To 50μl |
2. Mix and incubate at 30°C, Remove 5μl aliquots at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours.
3. Analyze by SDS-PAGE.
The substrate of 2 μg fusion protein was digested by SUMO Protease at 30 ℃ for 1 hour. The addition amount of SUMO Protease were 0U, 0.25U, 0.5U, 0.75U and 1U, respectively. The substrate is a fusion protein with a molecular weight of 20 KD and digested completely into two bands.
