| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aim to construct an in vitro screening system for peptides that inhibit the function of membrane protein of interest. The method is based on the syntheses of membrane protein of interest and the inhibitor peptide simultaneously using an in vitro transcription-translation system inside cell-sized phospholipid vesicles. Here, we first created a high quality random peptide library with a length of 10 amino acids. Then using EmrE, a multidrug transporter from Escherichia coli as a model protein, the screening system of an inhibitor peptide was established. By combining the constructed peptide library and the gene screening system, we now can screen inhibitor peptides entirely in vitro.
