Form Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Buffer Liquid form: default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. Lyophilized powder form: the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuged the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. It is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. The default final concentration of glycerol is 50%.
Storage 1. Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. 2. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 3. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. 4. In general, protein in liquid form is stable for up to 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Protein in lyophilized powder form is stable for up to 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Notes Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Details

Target Function Evades nuclear antiviral defenses triggered by dsDNA viruses. Acts during the initial stages of lytic infection and the reactivation of latent viral genome. Prevents the antiviral effect of nuclear bodies by degrading host PML and SP100. Prevents antiviral response to viral DNA induced by IFI16 by degrading it. Additionally, inhibits host IRF3 nuclear signaling to prevent interferon production by the infected cells. Interestingly, the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity associated with the RING finger domain does not seem to be directly required to inhibit the activation of IRF3 but instead plays a critical role in modulating the cellular localization of ICP0. Upon reactivation of latent genome, suppresses the silencing of viral DNA by dissociating either HDAC1 or HDAC2 from the HDAC-RCOR1-REST-KDM1A complex localized at the ND10 structures and causes their dispersal. Two cellular histone ubiquitin ligases RNF8 and RNF168 are also targeted by ICP0 for degradation, leading to a loss of ubiquitinated forms of H2A, a relief of transcriptional repression, and the activation of latent viral genomes. Enhances the localization of host CCND3 to ND10 bodies that serve as precursors of replication compartments to enable efficient viral replication. Like many RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligases, ICP0 can induce its own ubiquitination, an activity that promotes its instability due to its targeting to the 26S proteasome for degradation. ICP0 restricts this process by recruiting the cellular ubiquitin-specific protease USP7 that cleaves the anchored ubiquitin chains from ICP0, thereby promoting its stabilization.

Gene Functions References

  1. no evidence was found that miR-H2 represses the expression of ICP0 in cells or mice infected with HSV-1. PMID: 27847363
  2. The interaction between ICP0 and promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs), is discussed, suggesting a potential link between PML NBs and ICP0 in regulating lytic and latent infection of HSV-1. PMID: 22544561
  3. We conclude that while ICP0 is important and perhaps essential for infectious virus production during reactivation in vivo, this protein is not required and appears to play no major role in the initiation of reactivation in vivo PMID: 16943285
  4. The results suggest that the retention of ICP4 and ICP0 in the nucleus is a dynamic process that involves the function of other viral proteins. PMID: 18057247
  5. Data show upon HSV-1 infection of cell lines, surface levels of NKG2D ligands MICA antigen and UL16 binding protein 2 were downmodulated due to late viral ICP0 gene product(s). PMID: 19508374

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
