Description

UbiQ-012 (Ub-FP) is a fluorescence polarization assay reagent which is based on a 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) modified Lys-Gly sequence that is linked to ubiquitin via a native isopeptide bond with the lysine side-chain. Typical substrate concentrations range from 10−100 nM. DUB concentrations can range from 0.01-10 nM but depend on specific assay conditions and method of detection.

Ubiquitin FP (Ub-FP, UbiQ-012) is a fluorescence polarization assay reagent for deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). It is based on a Lys-Gly dipeptide that is modified on the N-terminus with a 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) dye and monoubiquitinated on the Lys residue via a native isopeptide. Our FP reagent design also allows for the addition of more and specific substrate context by introducing 10 to 15 amino acids long polypeptides (e.g. our class II FP reagents). Compared to quenched assay reagents, Ub-FP assay reagents have two unique characteristics. First, they contain a native isopeptide bond, and second, they allow for adding more substrate context than ubiquitin alone.
