제목 Controlled bio-conjugation between polymers and proteins
초록 One method to bio-conjugate proteins with polymers is to use end-functionalized polymers which have specific reactivity or interaction with targeted proteins. In my presentation, a new approach to bio-conjugate proteins and polymers will be discussed. The developed method is based on the strong interaction with a sequence of histidine residues (His-tag) in genetically engineered proteins and Ni2+ complexed nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) group at the polymer chain end. In our study, green fluorescent protein (GFP) with His-tag was conjugated with Ni2+-NTA end-functionalized polystyrene. His-tagged GFP was expressed in recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3) and end-functionalized polystyrene was prepared by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization using NTA containing initiator. As His-tagged proteins is well-known to have specific binding affinity with Ni2+-NTA, His-tagged GFP was able to be conjugated with Ni2+-NTA end-functionalized polystyrene in a controlled fashion.
