TL;DRAbstract
A large number of human genetic diseases, bacterial drug resistances, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms are caused by gene mutations. Rapid and high-throughput mutation detection methods are urgently demanded. A protein chip method for detection of single-base mismatches and unpaired bases of DNA was developed using a genetic fusion molecular system Trx-His6-(Ser-Gly)6-Strep tagII-(Ser-Gly)6-MutS (THLSLM). The THLSLM coding sequence was constructed by attaching Strep tag II and mutS gene to the vector pET32a (+) sequentially with insertion of a (Ser-Gly)6 coding sequence before and behind Strep tagII gene, respectively. The fusion protein THLSLM was expressed in Escherichia coli AD494 (DE3) and purified using Ni(2+)-chelation affinity resin. The results of bioactivity assay showed that THLSLM both binds to mismatched DNA and interacts with streptavidin. THLSLM was immobilized on the chip matrix coated with the streptavidin through Strep tagII-streptavidin binding reaction. The result
