TEV Protease is a highly specific cysteine protease that recognizes the amino-acid sequence Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-(Gly/Ser) and cleaves between the Gln and Gly/Ser residues.

  • Removal of affinity purification tags such as maltose-binding protein (MBP) or poly-histidine from fusion proteins
  • Optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months
  • Active in a wide range of buffers; optimal activity between pH 6.0 and 9.0.
  • High substrate specificity with no non-specific proteolysis

  • Product Information
    TEV Protease, also known as Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) Protease, is a highly specific cysteine protease that recognizes the amino-acid sequence Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-(Gly/Ser) and cleaves between the Gln and Gly/Ser residues. It is often used for the removal of affinity purification tags such as maltose-binding protein (MBP) or poly-histidine from fusion proteins. TEV Protease has a 6xHis-tag for easy removal from a reaction using nickel affinity resins and has been engineered to improve thermal stability and decrease autolysis.

    • Properties and Usage

      Unit Definition

      1 unit of TEV Protease will cleave 2 µg of MBP-fusion protein, MBP5-TEV-paramyosin ΔSal, to 95% completion in a total reaction volume of 10 µl in 1 hour at 30°C in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5 @ 25°C) with 0.5 mM EDTA and 1 mM DTT.

      Storage Temperature

      -20°C

      Storage Conditions

      50 mM Tris-HCl
      250 mM NaCl
      1 mM TCEP
      1 mM EDTA
      50% Glycerol
      pH 7.5 @ 25°C

      Heat Inactivation

      65°C for 10 min

      Molecular Weight

      Apparent: 28 kDa

      Unit Assay Conditions

      Two fold dilutions of TEV Protease are incubated with 2 μg MBP5-TEV-paramyosin ΔSal and 1X TEV Protease Reaction Buffer in a 10 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated at 30°C for 1 hour. Separation of reaction products are visualized by SDS-PAGE.
    • Notes
      1. The optimum sequence for the TEV protease cleavage site is Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-(Gly/Ser). However, it has been reported that other amino acid residues can be used in the P1´ position instead of Ser or Gly. These alternative P1´ amino acids include Ala, Met, and Cys (1).
      2. If the fusion protein sample contains > 2 M urea, > 0.5 M Guanidine hydrochloride, > 50 mM imidazole, pH values below 6 or above 9, or cysteine protease inhibitors then it will be necessary to dialyze the fusion protein before TEV Protease cleavage.
      3. TEV protease can be used at high concentrations without the occurrence of non-specific proteolysis.
      4. Reactions may be scaled-up linearly to accommodate larger reaction volumes.
