RobustCutter Sumo Protease

EMQZ1420

SUMO Protease, also known as Ulp, is a highly active cysteinyl protease. SUMO Protease cleaves in a highly specific manner and can be used cleave SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) from recombinant fusion proteins. Unlike most proteases, SUMO Protease recognizing the tertiary structure of the ubiquitin-like (UBL) protein instead of an amino acid sequence. The optimal temperature for cleavage is 30°C; however, the enzyme is active over wide ranges of temperature and pH (pH 7.0–9.0). Following digestion, SUMO Protease is easily removed from the cleavage reaction by affinity chromatography using the polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus of the protease.
