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
ERH(enhancer of rudimentary homolog) belongs to the E(R) family. It is expressed in all tissues examined. The monomeric structure of ERH comprises a single domain consisting of three α-helices and four β-strands, which is a novel fold. In the crystal structure, ERH assumes a dimeric structure, through interactions between the β-sheet regions. The formation of an ERH dimer is consistent with the results of analytical ultracentrifugation. ERH may have a role in the cell cycle. The Drosophila protein ERH is a small protein of 104 amino acids. It has been found to be an enhancer of the rudimentary gene, involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis. From an evolutionary point of view, ERH is highly conserved and has been found to exist in probably all multicellular eukaryotic organisms. ERH interacts with POLDIP3.
