Research Abstract |
In this research, we have attempted to develop several new chemical methods for protein modification. First, we have developed the covalent protein method using the complementary recognition pair of oligo-His tag and Ni(II)-NTA probe. This labeling method was successfully applied to the labeling of the tag-fused proteins in living cells. Second, we have achieved the design of highly reactive tag-probe pair comprising a-helix type oligo-Asp tag and Zn(II)-DpaTyr probe. This pair showed the higher protein labeling selectivity compared to the previously developed method, validating the our design strategy of the reactive tag-probe pair. Third, we have found the new fluorescent dye for protein modification This fluorescent dye displayed a unique dual-emission change depending on its hydration state, which we expect would be valuable fluorohore to develop protein-based fluorescence biosensors
