We have recently developed a versatile tagging system (IC-tagging) that causes relocation of the tagged proteins to ARV muNS-derived intracellular globular inclusions. In the present study we demonstrate (i) that the IC-tag can be successfully fused either to the amino or carboxyl terminus of the protein to be tagged and (ii) that IC-tagged proteins are able to interact between them and perform complex reactions that require such interactions while integrated into muNS inclusions, increasing the versatility of the IC-tagging system. Also, our studies with the DsRed protein add some light on the structure/function relationship of the evolution of DsRed chromophore.
我们最近开发了一种通用的标记系统(IC 标记),该系统可使标记蛋白重新定位到 ARV muNS 衍生的细胞内球形内含物。在本研究中,我们证明了(i)IC 标记可以成功融合到待标记蛋白的氨基或羧基末端,以及(ii)IC 标记蛋白能够相互作用,并在整合到 muNS 内含物时进行需要这种相互作用的复杂反应,从而增加了 IC 标记系统的多功能性。此外,我们对 DsRed 蛋白的研究也揭示了 DsRed 生色团进化的结构/功能关系。
