Proteinase K (Protease K) is a nonspecific serine protease that is useful for general digestion of proteins. Proteinase K is active in the presence of SDS or urea and over a wide range of pH (4-12), salt concentrations, and temperatures. Proteinase K can be use for promoting methods of viral nucleic acid extraction, and detection.
Proteinase K enzyme can be used to break amid bond between MTX and BSA and also amidic bonds in BSA structure[2]. Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs). Proteinase K with superior protein-degrading property, can be used to detect the SARS-COV2 viral component directly from inoculated viral transport medium (VTM) without RNA extraction[3]. Protocol of rRTPCR detection of SARS-CoV2[3]: 1.Separate VTM of each SARS-COV2 samples into three EP tubes (45 渭L per tube)
2.Add 2.5 渭L (20 mg/mL concentrated) proteinase K (PK), making a final concentration of PK ~1 mg/ml VTM
3.Incubate at 25掳C for 5 min
4.Incubate at 60掳C for 15 min
5.Incubate at 98掳C for 10 min, and store samples at 4掳C
6.Use 5 渭L of extracted RNA as template to execute rRTPCR assay
7.Exert rRTPCR detection by BIORAD CFX96? Real-Time Thermocycler, with a positive standard of threshold cycle (Ct) values less than 40. Proteinase K improves the homogenization effects and positive rates of sputum samples, and increases nucleic acid concentration extracted from it[4]. Protocol of nucleic acid extraction of influenza A virus (IAV)[4]: 1.Separate specimen into three EP tubes (500 渭L per tube)
2.Add 500 渭L 0.4 mg/mL Proteinase K buffer, vortex for 20 seconds
3.Incubate at 55掳C for 25 min, vortex 5 seconds every 5 min
4.Extract RNA by using the Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System through a paramagnetic beads method (Zhijiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) with 200 渭L samples
5.Evaluate A260/A280 ratio of pure RNA products, with a standard ranged from 1.8 to 2.0.
