Description
TEV Protease (Tobacco etch virus protease) is a recombinant protease derived from tobacco etch virus (TEV) Nla, which is used to excise affinity tags of purified fusion proteins. TEV Protease has strong site-specificity and can recognize the seven amino acid sequence (Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Gly) of EXXYXQ (G/S), most commonly ENLYFQG, whose cleavage site is between glutamine and glycine or serine. The enzyme is active in a wide range of pH 5.5-8.5 and 4-30 °C so that the reaction conditions can be modified according to the target proteins. TEV Protease is expressed and purified from E. coli. TEV Protease has a polyhistidine tag and can be removed by affinity chromatography after the enzyme digestion reaction.
Unite definition
In 1×TEV Buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT), the amount of enzyme required to cleave >85% of the 3 µg control substrate at 30 °C for 1 h is defined as an active unit.
Storage
TEV Protease can be stored for 2 years at -80 °C for a long time or for 6 months at -20 °C after sub-packaged to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. 10 x TEV Buffer can be stored at -20 °C.
Protocol
If the protein is thermally unstable, incubate at 4 °C for a longer time or increase the amount of enzyme used.
Note
To achieve the best digestion result, please ensure that the recombinant protein is partially or completely purified.
