Fusion-protein-assisted protein crystallization.
Fusion proteins can be used directly in protein crystallization to assist crystallization in at least two different ways. In one approach, the `heterologous fusion-protein approach', the fusion partner can provide additional surface area to promote crystal contact formation. In another approach, the `fusion of interacting proteins approach', protein assemblies can be stabilized by covalently li...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis HspX/EsxS Fusion Protein: Gene Cloning, Protein Expression, and Purification in Escherichia coli
Background: The purpose of this study was to clone, express, and purify a novel multidomain fusion protein of Micobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in a prokaryotic system. Methods: An hspX/esxS gene construct was synthesized and ligated into a pGH plasmid, E. coli TOP10 cells were transformed, and the vector was purified. The vector containing the construct and pET-21b (+) plasmid were digested ...
متن کاملProtein crystallization
This essay is about the crystallization of proteins. Since the first published observation of crystallizing proteins about 160 years ago, protein crystal growth has developed into an extensive research field with many applications, for instance in the pharmaceutical industry. In this report, an overview of the unique physical-chemical characteristics of protein molecules, their properties in so...
متن کاملCoupling of MBP fusion protein cleavage with sparse matrix crystallization screens to overcome problematic protein solubility.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and crystallographic techniques require large quantities of pure, soluble protein. However, numerous target proteins exhibit limited solubility resulting in low recovery and reduced concentrations following purification. Molecular biological techniques have been developed to assist in this area including the use of a fusion protein attached to the N or C terminu...
متن کاملElectrokinetically Actuated Protein Crystallization
Currently, x-ray crystallography is the primary experimental tool employed to understand how proteins fold and assemble into well-defined structures. These diffraction methods critically depend the ability to produce high-purity crystal samples, but conventional crystallization processes are inherently slow and challenging to control. Here we explore a fundamentally different electrokinetically...
