Repertoire selection of variant single-chain Cro: toward directed DNA-binding specificity of helix-turn-helix proteins.
Biochemistry - 28 Sept 2004
Nilsson Mikael T I, Widersten Mikael
Abstract excerpt
A single-chain derivative of the lambda Cro repressor (scCro) has been randomly mutated in amino acid residues critical for specific DNA recognition to create libraries of protein variants. Utilizing phage display-afforded affinity selection, scCro variants have been isolated for binding to synthetic DNA ligands. Isolated scCro variants were analyzed functionally, both in fusion with phage particles and after...
