Rho1D4, also called "1D4" is an affinity tag consisting of nine amino acids (T-E-T-S-Q-V-A-P-A). The tag is preferrably added to the C-Terminus of a protein of interest. Agarose Resins and magnetic beads coupled with the matching Rho1D4-antibody are able to purify proteins that are tagged with Rho1D4. Rho1D4 protein purification assays combine the incredible high specificity of other antibody based protein purification with an high protein yield. For more information regarding Rho1D4 we have written this guide to provide you with all necessary information.

Rho1D4 protein purification in detail

Purifies protein with high specificity and yield

PureCube resins are produced under strict quality guidelines and each batch undergoes quality checks to ensure that the loaded matrix has a high protein capacity. Combined with the specificity of the antibody-epitope interaction, a purification protocol optimized for the target protein can generate elution fractions with exceptionally high yields. Figure 1 shows purified elution fractions of three different membrane proteins, two membrane proteins stabilized in detergents and the third in MSP1D1 nanodisc. The Rho1D4 tagged proteins were expressed in T.ni insect cells or Hek293 cells, respectively and purified on a column containing PureCube Rho1D4 Agarose beads. The Rho1D4 peptide was used as mild eluent. These bands represent membrane proteins corresponding to monomers, tetramers and heterodimers stabilized in nanodisc. Analysis of the oligomeric state as removal of the eluent peptide, can be done with size-exclusion chromatography.

Pure and active membrane proteins

Purification results for membrane proteins purification like this can not be achieved by using more common resins like Ni-NTA. Therefore Rho1D4 is your way of choice here.

Fig. 1: Coomassie blue stains of successful membrane protein purifications after using the Rho1D4-tag.
A: Protein monomer of ~65kDa.
B: Tetrameric protein of ~135 kDA.
C: Heterodimieric protein, both subunits can be seen. The smallest band corresponding to ~ 28 kDa is a MSP1D1 nanodisc protein used for membrane protein stabilization.
