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.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Assay Buffer: 20 mM Sodium Phosphate, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, and 10% (v/v) Glycerol, pH 7.5
  • rT7 phage RNA polymerase His-tag (rT7 RNAP) (Catalog # 11662-T7)
  • Template DNA: Linearized DNA Plasmid 
  • Ribonucleotides (ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP)
  • Ultrapure DNase/RNase-Free Distilled Water 
  • DNase I
  • RNA Fluorescent detection system
  • Plate Reader with Fluorescence Read Capability
  1. Dilute rT7 RNAP to 60 ng/µL using Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Template DNA to 20 ng/µL using Assay Buffer.
  3. Create a ribonucleotide mix containing 20 mM of each using Assay Buffer.
  4. Add 10 µL ribonucleotide mix, 5 µL rT7 RNAP, and 5 µL of Template DNA to an RNase-free tube. Create a negative control with Assay Buffer in place of rT7 RNAP.
  5. Incubate reaction at 37 °C for 2 hours.
  6. Add 30 µL Ultrapure DNase/RNase-Free Distilled Water to all reaction tubes.
  7. Add DNase I to reaction tubes and incubate at 37 °C for 15 minutes to remove template DNA.
  8. Precipitate and isolate RNA.
  9. Resuspend RNA in Ultrapure DNase/RNase-Free Distilled Water.
  10. Quantify RNA concentration with fluorescent detection kit. 
  11. Calculate RNA yield based on detection system.

Background: T7 phage RNA polymerase

Recombinant T7 phage RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase essential for T7 phage growth that is involved in the transcription of class II and class III viral DNA (1,2). T7 RNAP is a 99 kDa protein that consists of four accessory domains including an N-terminal single strand RNA binding domain, a four-helix bundle, the promoter recognition loop, and the C-terminal T7 lysozyme regulation domain in addition to the catalytic polymerase domain comprised of three sub-domains that form a deep cleft where the active site is located (3-5). The three catalytic polymerase domain sub-domains and active site residues are conserved throughout nucleic acid families (3). Unlike other polymerases from prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources, T7 RNAP is a single subunit enzyme and also requires no additional protein factors to complete a transcriptional cycle making it efficient and fast (6-9). T7 RNAP also has high specificity to the T7 promoter (9,10) and an ability to produce long transcripts (5). In addition, T7 RNAP has been shown to be amenable to structural manipulation for improved functionality or broader application (5). These characteristics confer an advantage to T7 RNAP to make it a broadly useful and effective tool for expression of genes under control of the T7 promoter in a variety of hosts for both in vivo and in vitro experiments (5,9). T7 RNAP is a useful tool in synthetic biology with many applications including synthesizing mRNA for vaccines and therapeutics, RNA editing and interference, expression control in biotech applications and industrial biotechnology, and as a model for transcription (9-11).
