Contents

Recombinant EZH1 complex was expressed in Sf9 cells and is supplied in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 0.04% Triton X-100, 0.2 mM TCEP.

Background

EZH1 (Enhancer Of Zeste Homolog 1 ) is a Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH1 complex, which methylates ‘Lys-27’ of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Able to mono-, di- and trimethylate ‘Lys-27’ of histone H3 to form H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively. Required for embryonic stem cell derivation and self-renewal, suggesting that it is involved in safeguarding embryonic stem cell identity. Compared to EZH1-containing complexes, it is less abundant in embryonic stem cells, has weak methyltransferase activity and plays a less critical role in forming H3K27me3, which is required for embryonic stem cell identity and proper differentiation.

Application Notes

Recombinant EZH1 complex is suitable for use in the study of enzyme kinetics, inhibitor screening, and selectivity profiling. HMT Assay Conditions: 3.3 μM H3K27me0 (16-37aa) peptide was incubated with different concentrations of recombinant EZH1 complex in reaction buffer containing 50 mM TrisCl pH 8.6, 0.02% Triton X-100, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM TCEP, 100 μM SAM for 3 hours at room temperature. Activity was detected by HTRF.

Storage

Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
