融合标签技术及其应用

融合标签最初是作为一种有效的工具用于纯化重组蛋白质,近几年的研究表明,融合标签的作用并不局限于此。本文综述了融合标签技术的发展及在生命科学研究中的各种应用,包括重组蛋白质的纯化;目的蛋白质的检测、定向固定;体内生物事件的可视化;提高重组蛋白质的产量;增强重组蛋白质的可溶性及稳定性。

Fusion Tags Technology and Their Applications

Fusion tags are originally developed to facilitate the purification of recombinant protein from crude extracts. In recent years, the discovery of different tags and the development of fusion strategy make the function of fusion tags diversified. However, there was no a cure-all fusion tag for different applications. We here give an overview of fusion tag technology and the different applications of fusion tags, including the purification, detection and oriented immobilization of recombinant protein, the visualization of bioevent in vivo, the enhancement of the yield of protein, the improvement of the solubility and stability of the expressed protein.
