Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: SUMO-GFP Protease Substrate

SUMO-GFP Protease Substrate is a recombinant protein that contains SUMO fused to GFP that can be used as a positive control in an SDS-PAGE gel-shift assay to detect cleavage activity by Recombinant SUMO Protease ULP1 (Catalog # 11697-SO) and Recombinant Human His6-SENP1 Catalytic Domain Protein
(Catalog # E-700). SUMO is a member of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) family. In the cell, the SUMO protein is modified and covalently conjugated to other proteins in the cell via an isopeptide bond formed between its carboxyl-terminal glycine residues and the lysine of the protein substrate in a similar parallel mechanism of ubiquitination that regulates cellular processes such as DNA replication and repair, nuclear transport, signal transduction, and regulation of transcription (1-3). Use of SUMO fusions as a technology has been used to enhance protein expression, solubility, and purification in prokaryotes for a diverse population of protein targets and unlike other common fusion partners SUMO can serve as a chaperone for correct folding (4).  SUMO is cleaved at its c-terminus to a mature form after a glycine-glycine pair by a family of sentrin/SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs) in humans and ubiquitin-like protein specific proteases (Ulps) in yeast to regulate the reversible process of sumoylation (3). In a fusion application, the cleavage of SUMO allows for successful recombinant protein production with a native N-terminal sequence providing a distinct advantage over other fusion cleavage models used in recombinant protein production in both academic research and industrial biotechnology (4‑10).
