Recombinant MERS-CoV N Protein (Met1-Thr411), C-6×His-tagged

• Cat.No.: N-01M
• Product Overview: Recombinant MERS-CoV N Protein (Met1-Thr411) with a C-terminal 6-His tag was expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda, Sf 21 (baculovirus).

Specification

• Description: MERS-CoV, which causes the Middles East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that are commonly comprised of four structural proteins: Spike protein (S), Envelope protein (E), Membrane protein (M), and Nucleocapsid protein (N). While the S, E and M proteins build up the viral envelope, the N protein is involved transcription, replication and packaging of the viral RNA genome into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP). The MERS-CoV N protein is a ~45 kDa protein composed of two independent structural domains connected by a linker region. The N-terminal region contains an Intrinsically Disordered Region and an RNA binding domain, the linker region interacts with the M protein and the C-terminal region contains a self-association domain. The MERS-CoV N protein shares 46.3% and 4.5% amino acid sequence identity with SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 N protein, respectively. MERS-CoV N proteins have been shown to inhibit Type I Interferon(IFN) production. In addition, the N protein is an abundant protein during coronavirus infection and displays high immunogenic activity, making it a promising therapeutic target.
