Conversion of Green Fluorescent Protein into a Toxic, Aggregation-prone Protein by C-terminal Addition of a Short Peptide (original) (raw)

2006, Journal of Biological Chemistry

A non-natural 16-residue "degron" peptide has been reported to convey proteasome-dependent degradation when fused to proteins expressed in yeast (Gilon, T., Chomsky, O., and Kulka, R. (2000) Mol. Cell. Biol. 20, 7214 -7219) or when fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) and expressed in mammalian cells (Bence, N. F., Sampat, R. M., and Kopito, R. R. (2001) Science 292, 1552-1555).
