Description
Description: TYW5 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 338 amino acids (1-315 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 38.9kDa.TYW5 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: tRNA wybutosine-synthesizing protein 5 (TYW5) functions as a component of the wybutosine biosynthesis pathway. Wybutosine is a hyper modified guanosine with a tricyclic base found at the 3'-position closest to the anticodon of eukaryotic phenylalanine tRNA. TYW5 catalyzes the hydroxylation of 7-(a-amino-a-carboxypropyl)wyosine (yW-72) into undermodified hydroxywybutosine (OHyW). OHyW is a derivative of wybutosine observed in higher eukaryotes
