How to identify biotinylated proteins? Short fast 1 minute answer!
Analogous to DamID, the biotin ligase is fused to a protein of interest, and then introduced into mammalian (or other) cells where it will biotinylate…
What is the best binary expression system for drosophilagenetics? Short fast 1 minute answer!
Binary expression systems: GAL4-UAS, LexA-lexAopand QF-QUASsystems The GAL4-UASsystem is the workhorse of Drosophilagenetics, and few papers are currently published that do not use it.
How do solubility fusion tags produce soluble proteins? Short fast 1 minute answer!
The ability of solubility fusion tags to produce soluble protein is only the first step in the pathway towards protein production. As many of these…
What are cold shock proteins? Short fast 1 minute answer!
Cold shock proteins are small nucleic acid-binding proteins ranging from 65 to 75 amino acids in length and they have been found in psychrophilic, mesophilic,…
What is the difference between bioID and biotinylation? Short fast 1 minute answer!
Biotinylation protein is one technique used in biotechnology for tagging the proteins. In BioID, the protein of interest is fused to a “promiscuous” biotin ligase…
Does the H tag work as a solubility enhancer? Short fast 1 minute answer!
Regarding the H tag, it did not function as a solubility enhancer tag, but it improved the production levels of target proteins in E. colisimilarly…
Do small peptide tags stimulate solubility in proteins? Short fast 1 minute answer!
Small peptide tags called SET tags, which feature highly acidic amino acid sequences, have also been shown to stimulate solubility in a few partner proteins.
