A
fusion protein refers to a molecule that is created by combining two or more different proteins together. This combination usually happens in a laboratory setting, where scientists merge the specific parts of different proteins to form a new protein.
Full definition
We recommend the full -
length fusion protein procedure if your protein of interest has low sequence similarity with other proteins.

The newly issued patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 9493515 and 9493516) broadly cover Proclara's core technology, including methods of treating protein misfolding diseases and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the company's lead molecule, NPT088, a GAIM -
Ig fusion protein currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b study for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Because GDF15 has a short plasma half - life and is difficult to produce in substantial quantities, the scientists generated two
different fusion proteins that were more stable in the circulation and led to higher yields.
To examine this limb of the secretory pathway, we have examined two membrane proteins: a biosynthetic enzyme, chitin synthase III (Chs3p), and a mating
cell fusion protein, Fus1p, which travel from the TGN / endosome membrane to the plasma membrane in yeast.
GT's lead oncology drug candidate, OXS - 1550 (DT2219) is a novel bispecific scFv
recombinant fusion protein - drug conjugate composed of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 antibodies and a modified form of diphtheria toxin as its cytotoxic drug payload.
Chinnaiyan and colleagues then conducted studies using cancer cells and found that the different
FGFR fusion proteins all seemed to drive cancer cell proliferation by activating FGFR signaling.
To overcome the structural flexibility of the β2AR and to facilitate its crystallization, we engineered a
β2AR fusion protein in which T4 lysozyme (T4L) replaces most of the third intracellular loop of the GPCR («β2AR - T4L») and showed that this protein retains near - native pharmacologic properties.
This is a confocal image of a live mammalian cell expressing a GFP - Ebola
VP40 fusion protein (green).
Cancer cells are notorious for their genomes gone haywire, often
yielding fusion proteins — mash - ups of two disparate genes that, once united, assume new and harmful capabilities.
Although insufficient on its own to trigger leukemia, f - circM9 appears to work together with other cancer - promoting signals (such as the MLL -
AF9 fusion protein) to cause disease.
Curious about the possibility of circular RNAs contributing to cancer, Pandolfi and his colleagues set out to see if they could detect relevant changes in tumors known to harbor
distinct fusion proteins, which result when different chromosomes abnormally join together, melding two separate genes into a new centaur - like gene.
We report the crystal structure of a human β2 - adrenergic receptor — T4
lysozyme fusion protein bound to the partial inverse agonist carazolol at 2.4 angstrom resolution.
The
IM30 fusion protein provides a starting point for future research, unraveling new types of membrane fusion mechanisms in chloroplasts and blue - green algae.
A phase I clinical trial and a phase III clinical trial have been completed for a T - cell based immunotherapy and IL - 13 bacterial
toxin fusion protein respectively, both with promising outcomes.
In our experience, full - length
fusion protein antigens usually generate antibodies with higher titers and higher sensitivities.
To generate anti-DDX3 antibody, glutathione S -
transferase fusion protein containing the NH2 - terminal 1 - 226 amino acid fragment of DDX3 [GST / DDX3 (1 - 226)-RSB- was used as antigen for immunization.
Their basic approach is to use fluorescence microscopy to follow a GFP -
Mig1p fusion protein in a single cell, something that has only become possible recently.
Targeted DNA demethylation and activation of endogenous genes using programmable TALE -
TET1 fusion proteins.
Calibration curves correlating this ratio to the total expression time can therefore be used to determine how long a pool of FP timers has been expressed, either in whole cells or as a pool of
fusion proteins localized to a specific region of the cell.
