Related Product Information for Listeriolysin O, PEST-free active protein
The secreted pore-forming protein listeriolysin O (LLO) is an essential virulence determinant of the facultative intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes that allows the pathogen to escape from the phagocytic vacuole and reach the host cytosol. LLO is a single polypeptide protein encoded by the hlyA gene and composed of 529 residues. At its NH2-terminus it possesses a 25 residues long typical signal sequence excited during the secretion process. Moreover, in its NH2-terminus there is also a 19 amino acids PEST-like sequence that may target this toxin for degradation. This motif seems to be essential for bacterial virulence too, since its deletion causes a defect in bacterium phagosomal escaping.
Recombinant Listeriolysin O lacking both the signal secretion sequence and the PEST- like sequence. LLO-PEST minus is composed of 471 amino acids, starting from amino acid 60 to amino acid 529, with the addition of a methionine in its NH2-terminus.

It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Listeriolysin O, PEST-free, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
