#C1204N 3CLPro Q189E Expression Kit

$395.00$795.00

Express 3CLpro with the Q189E mutation in mammalian cells including HEK293, A549, and many more. Use alongside other 3CLpro mutant proteases and our 3CLglow biosensor assays to test 3CLpro inhibitor efficacy against a panel of mutations in the protease.


 

 

3CLpro (Mpro) Q189E mutation Expression Kit

Q189E, located within 6 Å of the nirmatrelvir binding site, is a naturally occurring mutation and has a two-fold increase in enzymatic activity compared to wild type 3CLpro (Hu et al. 2023). In a biochemical assay, Q189E reported a 19-fold increase in IC50 to nirmatrelvir resistance (Sasi et al. 2022). Additionally, a FRET-based enzymatic assay revealed a 10.7-fold increase in IC50 of nirmatrelvir (Huang et al. 2023).

  • Identify protease inhibitors that maintain efficacy against the Q189E mutation
  • Easy co-expression with our 3CLglow and 3CLglowUp sensors
  • Cost effective screening with minimal safety requirements (BSL-1)

Materials in the Kit:

• 3CLpro Q189E in BacMam
• Sodium Butyrate, 500 mM in H2O
