[Abstract]  Advances in protein engineering have enabled the production of self-assembled protein crystals within living cells. Our recent publication demonstrates the production of ftn-PAK4, which is a ferritin-containing crystal that can mineralize iron and become magnetic when isolated. We have developed an optimized protocol for the production and isolation of PAK4-based crystals. The crystals are first grown in low-passage HEK293T cells, released using a lysis buffer containing NP-40 and DNase, and collected under careful centrifugation conditions. Our protocol maximizes the purity and yield of crystals and is quick and straightforward.
[摘要]  [摘要] 蛋白质工程的进展已使活细胞内产生自组装的蛋白质晶体。我们的最新出版物证明了ftn-PAK4的生产,它是一种含铁蛋白的晶体,在分离时可以矿化铁并成为磁性。我们已经开发出用于生产和分离基于PAK4的晶体的优化协议。晶体首先在低传代的HEK293T细胞中生长,使用含有NP-40和DNase的裂解缓冲液释放,并在仔细的离心条件下收集。我们的协议可最大程度地提高晶体的纯度和收率,并且操作简便快捷。

[背景] 近来的作品曾报道的“生产和隔离在纤维素的” 晶体通过蛋白在活细胞中的异源表达。这些晶体具有多种应用,例如货物运输(Ijiri 等,2009)或X射线结构测定(Baska ran 和Ang ,2015)。晶体的性质而变化,但它们通常相对于相当大的是对细胞,范围从1-2 微米到数百微米的大小(圣豪等人,2015) 。在我们最近的工作中,我们修改了inka-PAK4晶体以创建ftn-PAK4,该ftn-PAK4是一种含铁蛋白的晶体,可以矿化足够的铁以吸引附近的永磁体(Li 等,2019)。
