Analysis of PMM2 protein by Differential Scanning Fluorimetry(DSF) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0832-WXH)

Introduction

Phosphomannomutase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PMM2 gene. Phosphomannomutase 2 catalyzes the isomerization of mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate. Mannose 1-phosphate is a precursor to GDP-mannose necessary for the synthesis of dolichol-P-oligosaccharides. Mutations in the gene have been shown to cause defects in the protein glycosylation pathway which manifest as the congenital disorder of glycosylation PMM2 deficiency.

Principle

Differential Scanning Fluorimetry measures protein thermal unfolding by monitoring changes in fluorescence emission of a sample upon heating. This allows the determination of protein thermostability and complex formation even with weakly binding ligands by thermal shift assay. Differential Scanning Fluorimetry is therefore ideally suited for screening of optimum buffer conditions like pH, buffer composition and ionic strength. The technique is applicable to any biological sample, from soluble proteins to integral membrane proteins.

Applications

To identify low-molecular-weight ligands that bind and stabilize purified proteins.
To measure the denaturation and unfolding of proteins.

Procedure

1. Preparation of compound solutions
2. Preparation of buffer/additive screen plates
3. Preparation of compound storage plates
4. Equipment preparation
5. Sample preparation
86. Performing the scan
