biological source

Escherichia coli

form

lyophilized powder

specific activity

350-1200 units/mg protein

composition

Protein, ~75% E1%/280

extent of labeling

2-5 mol d-biotin per mol protein

Storage temp.

−20°C

Application

β-Galactosidase was used as a control antigen in the selection of human antibody fragments by phage display.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-galactosidase cleaves lactose into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose. It also catalyses the transglycosylation of glucose into allolactose, the inducer of β-galactosidase, in a feedback loop.[2]

Packaging

Package size based on protein content

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of o-nitrophenyl β-D-galactoside per min at pH 7.3 at 37 °C.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing Tris-acetate, DTT, MgCl2, and isopropyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside

Preparation Note

Biotinylated using biotin–maleimide (B 1267) which incorporates an extended spacer.

Nature protocols, 2(11), 3001-3008 (2007-11-17)
Here, we describe a protocol for the selection of human antibody fragments using repertoires displayed on filamentous bacteriophage. Antigen-specific clones are enriched by binding to immobilized antigen, followed by elution and repropagation of phage. After multiple rounds of binding selection

Analytical biochemistry, 149(2), 529-536 (1985-09-01)
A biotin-containing, thiol-specific reagent, 3-(N-maleimido-propionyl) biocytin (MPB), was synthesized and used to biotinylate various proteins via native or artificially induced sulfhydryl groups. In combination with appropriate avidin- or streptavidin-conjugated markers (i.e., fluorescent, enzyme-conjugated, electron-dense, etc.), MPB essentially constitutes a universal

Beta-galactosidase (lacZ) from Escherichia coli is a 464 kDa homotetramer. Each subunit consists of five domains, the third being an alpha/beta barrel that contains most of the active site residues. A comparison is made between each of the domains and
