Product Description
ssK36 TFA is a supersubstrate peptide of histone methyltransferase (SET) domain protein 2 (SETD2). ssK36 TFA is designed specifically for the SETD2 protein, a type of PKMT. In human cells, ssK36 TFA is responsible for adding a methyl group to the 36th lysine residue (H3K36) of histone H3, forming H3K36me3. ssK36 TFA can be methylated by SETD2 at a rate more than 100 times faster than the natural substrate H3K36. ssK36 TFA can be used to study the catalytic mechanisms of PKMTs, particularly substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency.
ssK36 TFA (Sequence: APRFGGVKRPNRYRP) is a supersubstrate peptide for the histone methyltransferase SET domain-containing protein 2 (SETD2), which is a specific protein lysine methyltransferase (PKMT). It is derived from histone H3K36 (residues 29-43) with specific modifications at positions 31, 32, 36, 37, and 39. It is methylated by SETD2 at a rate more than 100 times faster than the natural substrate H3K36. It is used to study the catalytic mechanism of PKMTs, particularly substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ssK36 TFA targets the SET domain of protein lysine methyltransferase SETD2. This enzyme is responsible for the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me3) in humans, a key epigenetic mark associated with active transcription elongation, mRNA splicing, and DNA damage repair. As a supersubstrate peptide, it acts as a highly sensitive biochemical probe for the catalytic mechanism of SETD2. It is designed to have a dramatically enhanced methylation rate, enabling detailed kinetic studies.
ln Vitro
In non-cellular biochemical assays, ssK36 TFA can be methylated by SETD2 at a rate more than 100 times faster than the natural H3K36 substrate, making it an extremely sensitive and efficient tool for high-throughput screening and kinetic analyses. It is also used in peptide binding assays to characterize the interaction of SETD2 with its substrates. No activity in cellular or in vivo systems is reported.
ln Vivo
No in vivo activity data are available for ssK36 TFA. The peptide is specifically designed and utilized as an in vitro biochemical tool for enzyme characterization and high-throughput screening, not for use in living animals. As a peptide, it would be rapidly degraded in serum and is not suitable for in vivo pharmacokinetic or efficacy studies.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular assays, a standard SETD2 methyltransferase activity assay is used. The protocol involves: 50 uL reaction mixture in 96-well plates containing 25 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 5 mM DTT, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% Tween 20, 5 uM recombinant SETD2, 1 uM ssK36 TFA, and 5 uM [3H]-SAM (S-adenosyl methionine). After incubation at 30degC for 60 min, the reaction is stopped with 10 uL of 5% TCA. The mixture is spotted onto P81 filter paper, washed, and counted in a scintillation counter. For inhibitor studies, the compound is pre-incubated with the enzyme.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. ssK36 TFA is a peptide exclusively used for non-cellular, in vitro enzymatic assays or binding studies. It is not intended for live cell treatment. For research use only.
Animal Protocol
No in vivo animal studies are performed with ssK36 TFA, as it is an in vitro biochemical tool.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data are available for ssK36 TFA. As a research peptide, standard safety precautions for laboratory handling should be followed. This includes the use of PPE (gloves, lab coat) and working in a well-ventilated area. For research use only; not for human use. Waste disposal should follow local regulations for chemical and biological waste.

Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
