Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Ribosome-independent, sequence-specific endoribonuclease that cleaves mRNA, thus inhibiting protein synthesis and inducing bacterial stasis. It cuts between the first and nucleotides of 5-UACAU-3 in single-stranded RNA. Neutralized by coexpression with cognate antitoxin MazE. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-120 from Staphylococcus aureus mRNA interferase MazF, fused to 6X His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E.coli. Molecular Weight: ~17.4kD Amino Acid Sequence: MIRRGDVYLADLSPVQGSEQGGVRPVVIIQNDTGNKYSPTVIVAAITGRINKAKIPTHVEIEKKKYKLDKDSVILLEQIRTLDKKRLKEKLTYLSDDKMKEVDNALMISLGLNAVAHQKN Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20C.
