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

Chalkophore involved in scavenging, uptake and suppression of toxicity of copper. Each apo-methanobactin (apo-mb) complexes 1 Cu(2+) or Cu(1+) ion to form Cu(1+)-mb (Cu-mb) which is then taken up by the cell. Enhances growth rate in the presence of copper and reduces growth lag upon exposition to elevated levels of copper. Cu-mb contributes to the switchover from soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) to the membrane-bound particulate MMO (pMMO) by inducing transcription of pMMO subunit A. It also stimulates the enzymatic activity of pMMO. In the absence of copper, binds other metal ions, like Zn(2+), Ag(1+), Au(3+), Co(2+), Cd(2+), Fe(3+), Hg(2+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), Pb(2+) or U(6+), but not Ba(2+), Ca(2+), La(2+), Mg(2+) or Sr(2+). Uptake is an active process, which may involve TonB-dependent transporters, and as such does not involve porins. Cu-Mb can be taken up by other methanotrophic bacteria but not by E.coli. Has Cu-dependent superoxide dismutase-like activity. Shows reductant-dependent oxidase and hydrogen peroxide reductase activities. Reduces copper-levels in liver in a rat model of Wilson disease.

Subcellular Location

Secreted. Cytoplasm. Note=Secreted as apo-mb, uptake into the cytoplasm in complex with copper as Cu-mb. In the cytoplasm, Cu-mb is associated with the cell membrane.

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.
