General description

2A peptides and 2A-like peptide sequences (also known as CHYSEL, or cis-acting hydrolase elements) are a superior alternative to internal ribosomal entry sites (IRES) for coordinating the expression of multiple gene products from a single recombinant construct. 2A peptides allow multiple proteins to be encoded as polyproteins, which then dissociate into component proteins upon translation. The 2A sequence impairs normal peptide bond formation via a mechanism called ribosomal skipping, resulting in effective, non-enzymatic generation of distinct peptide products from a single multicistronic construct. The use of 2A sequences allows the stoichiometric production of up to four proteins from a single vector, making it a powerful tool for the equimolar expression of multiple cistrons.

Immunogen

Epitope: The epitope is believed to be within the “GDVESNPG” region.
The immunogen used was recombinant 2A from foot and mouth virus1.

Application

Anti-2A Peptide Antibody is an antibody against 2A Peptide for use in WB.
Research Category

Biochem/physiol Actions

Recognizes the 2A sequence, derived from Foot and Mouth picornavirus (VKQTLNFDLLKLAGDVESNPG*P), where * represents the 2A cleavage site. The epitope is believed to be within the “GDVESNPG” region since the antibody also recognizes the unrelated 2A regions from Thosea asigna virus and Equine rhinitis A virus.

Physical form

Serum with 0.05% NaN3.

Preparation Note

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

Analysis Note

Control
2A-containing recombinant proteins
Western Blot Analysis:
A multicistronic vector was synthesized consisting of several CD3 proteins linked with 2A peptide sequences from foot and mouth disease, Thosea asigna, and Equine rhinitis A viruses, respectively (CD3δ-F2A-CD3ε-T2A-CD3γ-E2A-CD3ζ)1. The vector was transduced in 293 cells. A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected the 2A sequence in all three CD3-2A proteins (CD3 epsilon, gamma, delta) generated from a single 2A peptide-linked retroviral vector.

Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic, oleaginous, marine protists with a significant potential for biofuel production. High-value co-products can off-set production costs; however, the cost of raw materials, and in particular carbon, is a major challenge to developing an economical viable production process. The

Many picornaviruses cause important diseases in humans and other animals including poliovirus, rhinoviruses (causing the common cold) and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). These small, non-enveloped viruses comprise a positive-stranded RNA genome (ca. 7-9 kb) enclosed within a protein shell composed
