مستخلص: | Cell-free gene expression systems are used in numerous applications, including medicine making, diagnostics, and educational kits. Accurate quantification of nonfluorescent proteins in these systems remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we report the adaptation and use of an optimized tetra-cysteine minihelix both as a fusion protein and as a standalone reporter with the FlAsH dye. The fluorescent reporter helix is short enough to be encoded on a primer pair to tag any protein of interest via PCR. Both the tagged protein and the standalone reporter can be detected quantitatively in real time or at the end of cell-free expression reactions with standard 96/384-well plate readers, an RT-qPCR system, or gel electrophoresis without the need for staining. The fluorescent signal is stable and correlates linearly with the protein concentration, enabling product quantification. We modified the reporter to study cell-free expression dynamics and engineered ribosome activity. We anticipate that the fluorescent minihelix reporter will facilitate efforts in engineering in vitro transcription and translation systems. |
