Format
Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Storage
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Introduction
Smallpox was an infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor. The disease is also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera, which is a derivative of the Latin varius, meaning "spotted", or varus, meaning "pimple". The term "smallpox" was first used in Britain in the 15th century to distinguish variola from the "great pox" (syphilis). The last naturally occurring case of smallpox (Variola minor) was diagnosed on 26 October 1977.
Function
Regulatory subunit of the mRNA cap enzyme which stabilizes the catalytic subunit and enhances its methyltransferase activity through an allosteric mechanism. Heterodimeric mRNA capping enzyme catalyzes the linkage of a N7-methyl-guanosine moiety to the first transcribed nucleotide (cap 0 structure), whereas the methyltransferase OPG102 is responsible for a second methylation at the 2'-O position of the ribose (cap 1 structure). Also involved in early viral gene transcription termination and intermediate viral gene transcription initiation. Early gene transcription termination requires the termination factor VTF, the DNA-dependent ATPase NPH-I/OPG123 and the RAP94/OPG109 subunit of the viral RNA polymerase, as well as the presence of a specific termination motif. Binds, together with RAP94/OPG109, to the termination motif 5'-UUUUUNU-3' in the nascent early mRNA.
