A Robust Expression and Purification Protocol for the Production of the La Domain of Human LARP6.

ABSTRACT: Human La-related protein 6 (HsLARP6) regulates the highly organized biosynthesis of type I procollagen polypeptides and affects proper assembly of procollagen peptides into heterotrimers of type I procollagen. HsLARP6-mediated regulation of collagen biosynthesis is mediated through interaction with the 5' stem loop (5'SL) motif found in type I and III collagen messenger RNA. Recent studies highlight the involvement of HsLARP6 in fibroproliferative diseases and its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention. The intrinsic propensity of the La domain of HsLARP6 to aggregate hampers studies probing the molecular basis of biologically- and disease-relevant structure-function relationship, particularly when high concentrations are required. This work provides detailed procedures to prod
