UniHRV 3C Protease
UniHRV 3C Protease is a recombinant form of the 3C protease derived from human rhinovirus 14 expressed in E. coli (specific activity 1800 2000 U/mg).
This product is a highly purified recombinant 6XHis fusi on protein and requires neither metal nor cofactor s for activity. UniHRV 3C Protease recognizes the cleavage site: Leu Glu Val Leu Phe Gln↓Gly Pro (LEVLFQ↓GP). UniHRV 3C Protease demonstrate excellent cleavage efficiency in a variety of fusion proteins.

The following protocol is an example of a simple optimization experiment designed to estimate the appropriate ratio of enzyme:target protein. This example represents UniHRV 3C Protease:target protein ratios (U/μg) of 1:10, 1:25 and 1:50.
Notes (Important):
Component | Volume (μL) |
UniHRV 3C Protease (1 U/μL) | 1 |
Validated Protein (10, 25, and 50 μg each) | X |
10X HRV 3C Cleavage Buffer | 5 |
H2O | 44-X |
Total volume | 50 |
- Incubate the reaction mixture at 4°C for 16 hours or overnight.
- Determine cleavage level of the samples by SDS-PAGE analysis.
- UniHRV 3C protease: target protein ratio of 1:5~1: 200 (U/μg) is used for most fusion protein cleavage.
- If shorter incubation time is required, more amount of UniHRV 3C protease or higher temperature (RT) can be implemented. Reaction can be performed at 4°C-37°C. 4°C is recommended as the starting standard.
Notes (Important):
- Cleavage efficiency may differ based on structure and properties of each target protein, we recommend testing several enzyme-to-substrate ratios, temperatures, and incubation times.
- HRV 3C Protease reactions can be performed in a buffer which is optimal for the target protein. Reducing reagents (e.g., DTT) or salts (e.g., NaCl) can be added for cleavage efficiency evaluation.
- Usually, 1 U UniHRV 3C Protease can cleavage >95% of target protein (from 50 to 400 μg) at 4˚C for 16h. Even different lot of target proteins might result in different cleavage efficiency. The validated protein (50 μg) provide in this product can be stably cleavage >50% when using 1 U of UniHRV 3C Protease.
