Interleukin 4 induced protein 1 (IL-4I1), also known as protein FIG-1 and L-amino acid oxidase, is encoded by a B-cell IL-4-inducible gene, FIG1, and is highly expressed in primary metastinal B-cell lymphomas (1-4). It belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family, FIG1 subfamily. Enzymological characterization reveals that IL-4I1 has L-amino acid oxidase activity with preference toward aromatic amino acids. Studies have shown that hIL-4I1 inhibited the proliferation of CD3‑stimulated T lymphocytes with a similar effect on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells (5). Its inhibitory effect was dependent on enzymatic activity and H2O2 production. Its restricted expression to lymphoid tissues indicates that it may play an important function in the immune system (1, 4).

Protocols
View specific protocols for Recombinant Human IL-4I1 Protein, CF (5684-AO):
- Assay Buffer: 50 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.0
- Recombinant Human IL-4I1 (rhIL-4I1) (Catalog # 5684-AO)
- Coupling Agent: Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) (250-330 U/mg) (Sigma, Catalog # P8375), 250 units/mL stock in 0.1 M Sodium Phosphate, pH 8.0
- Substrate Component 1: Phenylalanine (Sigma, Catalog # P2126), 100 mM stock in diH2O
- Substrate Component 2: Amplex Ultra Red (AUR) (Molecular Probes, Catalog # A36006), 10 mM stock in DMSO
- F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
- Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhIL-4I1 to 2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
- Prepare the Substrate mixture including 2 mM Phenylalanine, 2 units/mL HRP and 100 µM AUR in Assay Buffer.
- Load in a black well plate 50 µL of 2 ng/µL of rhIL-4I1, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of the Substrate mixture (step 2). Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL of the Assay Buffer and 50 µL of the Substrate mixture.
- Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 544 nm and 590 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes. Note: A wavelength cutoff of 570 nm should be manually specified.
- Calculate specific activity:
|
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = |
Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU) |
| amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Derived using a fluorescent standard prepared
by incubating 50 µM AUR, 1 unit/mL HRP, 1 mM Phenylalanine, and a curve of
Hydrogen Peroxide (Sigma, Catalog # H1009) in Assay Buffer at room temperature.
Use the resulting amounts of oxidized AUR to determine the conversion factor.
- rhIL-4I1: 0.1 µg
- Phenylalanine: 1 mM
- HRP: 1 unit/mL
- AUR: 50 µM
Caution: The rhIL-4I1 enzymatic reaction may significantly be interfered with organic buffer such as MES.
