Myc Tag Information

A myc tag is a polypeptide protein tag derived from the c-myc gene product that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.

A myc tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a myc-tag allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the Myc epitope. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by Western blotting.

The peptide sequence of the myc-tag is: N-EQKLISEEDL-C (1202 Da). It can be fused to the C-terminus and the N-terminus of a protein. It is advisable not to fuse the tag directly behind the signal peptide of a secretory protein, since it can interfere with translocation into the secretory pathway.

Background Information

Actinin, alpha 4 (ACTN4), a nonmuscle cytoskeleton protein, has been frequently reported to be associated with cell motility and cancer metastasis. Honda et al. have suggested that cytoplasmic ACTN4 increases cell motility and is associated with a high metastatic potential and a poor prognosis of cancer based on their studies on multiple cancer cell lines. Since then, ACTN4 has been reported to be associated with the progression and metastasis of many types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, pancreatic, lung, brain, bladder, and ovarian cancers and salivary gland carcinoma.
