SYNONYMS
Nudix (nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X)-Type Motif 16, FLJ31265, FLJ34034, FLJ36248, U8 snoRNA-binding protein H29K, U8 snoRNA-decapping enzyme.
INTRODUCTION
NUDT16 is nuclear nucleoside diphosphatase proteins restricted in foci in the nucleolus and nucleoplasm. NUDT16 is a RNA-decapping enzyme. It binds specifically to U8 snoRNA and can remove m7G and m227G caps from RNAs, rendering them substrates for 5’-3’ exonucleases for degradation in vivo.
DESCRIPTION
NUDT16 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 215 amino acids (1-195a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.4kDa.
NUDT16 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
