β-Glucuronidase (gusA) from Bacillis Subtilis with TEV and poly-HIS tags

gusA (also called uidA[1]) encodes β-Glucuronidase, an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-D-glucuronides.

The poly-HIS tag can be used for protein purification (IMAC)[2]. The TEV tag can then be used to have the TEV protease specifically cleave off the poly-HIS tag from the purified protein [3].


A form of this protein without TEV and poly-HIS tags can be found here.

Usage and Biology

β-Glucuronidase is used as a fusion protein marker in higher plants, due to them lacking intrinsic β-Glucuronidase activity[4]. Generally it can be used as reporter enzyme with detection by biochemical activity assays, immunological assays or by histochemical staining of tissue sections or cells[5].
