Cy3-Labeled SpoVM Peptide contains the complete 26-amino-acid Bacillus subtilis SpoVM protein sequence MKFYTIKLPKFLGGIVRAMLGSFRKD with an added C-terminal cysteine used for Cy3 labeling.
SpoVM and Bacterial Sporulation
SpoVM is a remarkably small bacterial protein expressed during sporulation. It associates with the surface of the developing forespore and has become a model system for studying how short amphipathic peptides recognize membrane properties such as curvature and lipid organization.
The complete SpoVM sequence is publicly curated in UniProtKB as the Stage V sporulation protein M from Bacillus subtilis strain 168.
Cy3-Labeled SpoVM
The added terminal cysteine provides a site for maleimide-directed Cy3 attachment. A fluorescent SpoVM derivative can be useful for visualizing peptide localization, membrane association, and surface binding in bacterial or model-membrane experiments.
