SUMO Protease, also known as Ulp, is a recombinant fragment of ULP1 (Ubl-specific protease 1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is highly specific for the SUMO protein fusion, recognizing the tertiary structure of SUMO rather than an amino acid sequence. The SUMO Protease features:

• Highly active cleavage
• No non-specific proteolysis (highly specific cleavage*)
• Activity from 2°C to 37°C
• A six-histidine sequence to facilitate its removal from the digested protein sample

Application: Removal of fusion tags from recombinant proteins.
Unit Definition: One unit of SUMO Protease is defined as the amount of enzyme needed to cleave 85% of 2μg of substrate protein at 30°C in one hour.
Quality Control: SUMO Protease has greater than 85% single-band purity with no non-specific protease contamination. It is functionally tested for the absence of any non-specific protease activity.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Are NP40 and DTT required for SUMO Protease activity? Will they interfere with downstream applications?

Yes, they are both required, although it might be possible to substitute the NP40 with another detergent via dialysis if you have concern about interference with mass spectrometry. DTT is an absolute requirement.

What enzyme should I choose if I do not want any extra amino acids left on my protein of interest after cleavage?

We would recommend using our SUMO system.

How does SUMO protease work?

SUMO protease, also known as Ulp, is a recombinant fragment of ULP1 (Ubl-specific protease 1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is highly specific for the SUMO protein fusion, recognizing the tertiary structure of SUMO rather than an amino acid sequence. The SUMO protease itself has a His tag for easy removal from the protein mix after cleavage.
