P10SN
This sequence codes for a coiled-coil structure which interacts with the coiled-coil P9SN. We use this construct to load RNA binding proteins into virus-like-particles. Protein coiled-coil (CC) dimers serve as building blocks for modular de novo design of polyhedral protein cages that efficiently self-assemble in vitro and in vivo (Ljubetic, A., et al. (2017)).
Usage
To increase the modularity of our system we decided to test coiled-coil proteins. These coiled coils mimic the interactions of DNA helix-helix interactions. The coiled-coil protein interaction allows the loading of more than one protein and larger proteins. We are using these helical structures to load RNA binding proteins into exosomes or virus-like-particles.
Biology
We describe a system analogous to designed DNA nanostructures in which protein coiled-coil (CC) dimers serve as building blocks for modular de novo design of polyhedral protein cages that efficiently self-assemble in vitro and in vivo.[1]
