Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Sodium Acetate, 100 mM NaCl, pH 4.0
  • Recombinant Mouse BACE-1 (rmBACE-1) (Catalog # 2976-AS)
  • Substrate: MCA-Ser-Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe-Arg-Lys(DNP)-Arg-Arg-NH2 (Catalog # ES004)
  • Heparin (Sigma, Catalog # H3393), 20 mg/mL in deionized water
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rmBACE-1 to 20 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Heparin to 4 ng/μL in Assay Buffer.
  3. Combine equal volumes diluted Heparin and rmBACE-1.
  4. Incubate at 37 °C for 30 minutes.
  5. Dilute Substrate to 20 μM in Assay Buffer.
  6. Load 50 µL of the rmBACE-1/heparin mixture in a plate and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate.
  7. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  8. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank
     **Derived using calibration standard MCA-Pro-Leu-OH (Bachem, Catalog # M-1975).

Per Well:
  • rmBACE-1: 0.500 µg
  • Substrate: 10 µM
  • Heparin: 1 ng/μL

Background: BACE-1

BACE-1 is an aspartic protease and an integral membrane protein (1, 2). It is the major beta secretase, and together with the gamma secretase, is responsible for generating the amyloid beta peptide (A beta ) from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) (3, 4). Because A beta is a major component of amyloid plaques, BACE-1 has been implicated in the onset and/or progression of Alzheimer's disease. High levels of BACE-1 activity are sufficient to elicit neurodegeneration and neurological decline in vivo, indicating that inhibiting BACE-1 may block not only A beta -dependent but also A beta -independent pathogenic mechanisms (5). In addition to APP, BACE-1 also cleaves APP-like proteins 1 and 2, the cell adhesion protein P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 and beta -galactoside alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase, implying that BACE-1 may have additional functions involving the ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins (6-8). The purified recombinant mouse BACE-1 corresponds to the ectodomain with the activity as described in Activity Assay Protocol.
