Short Description

A rigid linker link two proteins to form one fusion protein. It can prevent the two proteins from interrupting each other while folding.

Usage and Biology

The (EAAAK)5 linker is shown to possess a pH-dependent auto-cleavage feature. In the range pH 6–7, the target protein becomes automatically released from the fusion protein without proteolytic treatment. Although the mechanism of this auto-cleavage property of an (EAAAK)5 linker is unclear, this feature has been successfully employed for many cases of protein purification without the tag of a fusion protein.
