Active, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Recombinant NleL

Enzyme

Product Code: TE3-020
Verified Applications: In vitro, recombinant NleL accepts activated ubiquitin from E2 conjugating enzyme UBE2L3 in a reaction that also requires Ubiquitin Activating Enzyme 1 (an E1). The charged E3 demonstrates strong autoubiquitylation and generation of unanchored poly-ubiquitin in the absence of added substrates. Appropriate enzyme concentrations are specific to the application.
Activity: Verified in Poly-ubiquitin Chain Synthesis Assay
Purity: 95%
Concentration: 15 – 20 μM

Background and Additional Info

Background: NleL is a type III secretion system effector protein produced by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. It functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, modulating host cell signaling pathways by ubiquitinating host proteins, thereby promoting infection. NleL comprises an N-terminal β-helix formed by pentapeptide repeats (residues 1–250) and a C-terminal bilobed bacterial HECT (bHECT) catalytic domain. key motifs include the catalytic Cys387 and an E2-binding patch. NleL positions itself downstream of host E2 enzymes, directly catalyzing ubiquitin transfer to host substrates or building unanchored K6- and K48-linked poly-ubiquitin chains.
