简介
LacI, the lactose operon repressor, regulates lactose metabolism by binding to the operator region and repressing gene transcription. The presence of the inducer, allolactose, alters its binding affinity, derepressing the operon. As a homotetramer, LacI finely tunes lactose metabolism, orchestrating regulatory mechanisms in response to the cellular environment. LacI Protein, E.coli (His-SUMO) is the recombinant E. coli-derived LacI protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His, N-SUMO labeled tag.

Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Protein Description
LacI is a well-studied regulatory protein involved in the lactose operon of Escherichia coli, which plays a crucial role in the organism's ability to metabolize lactose. As a member of the GalR/LacI family of transcriptional regulators, LacI functions as a repressor by binding to the operator region of the lac operon, inhibiting the transcription of downstream genes responsible for lactose uptake and metabolism. The regulation of the lac operon by LacI is primarily controlled by the presence of allolactose, a metabolite of lactose that induces a conformational change in LacI, preventing its binding to DNA and allowing gene expression. Research on LacI has provided significant insights into fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation, transcriptional control, and protein-DNA interactions. Additionally, its unique binding properties and allosteric regulation have made LacI a popular model for studying protein dynamics and as a tool in synthetic biology. Investigations into LacI's structure-function relationships, including its binding affinities and conformational changes, are ongoing, as researchers aim to manipulate its activity for biotechnological applications such as biosensors and gene expression control systems. Understanding LacI's role in cellular metabolism also contributes to broader studies on bacterial adaptability and resilience, highlighting its significance in both basic and applied microbiology.
