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
Trem-like transcript 2 protein, also known as Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-like protein 2, TREML2 and TLT2, is a single-pass type I  membrane protein which contains one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. TREML2 is detected in cultured B cells, T cell leukemia and monocyte leukemia. TREML2 is expressed constitutively on CD8 T-cells and induced on CD4 T-cells after activation. TREML2 is a cell surface receptor that may play a role in the innate and adaptive immune response. TREML2 acts as a counter-receptor for CD276 and interaction with CD276 on T-cells enhances T-cell activation. Murine B7-H3 specifically bound to Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-like transcript 2 (TLT-2, TREML2). TREML2 was expressed on CD8(+) T cells constitutively and on activated CD4(+) T cells. Stimulation with B7-H3 transfectants preferentially up-regulated the proliferation and IFN-gamma production of CD8(+) T cells. Transduction of TREML2 into T cells resulted in enhanced IL-2 and IFN-gamma production via interactions with B7-H3. There maybe a direct interaction between B7-H3 and TREML2 that preferentially enhances CD8(+) T cell activation.
