A tripartite fusion system for the selection of protein variants with increased stability in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

We describe here a genetic selection system that directly links protein stability to antibiotic resistance, allowing one to directly select for mutations that stabilize proteins in vivo. Our technique is based on a tripartite fusion in which the protein to be stabilized is inserted into the middle of the reporter protein β-lactamase via a flexible linker. The gene encoding the inserted protein is then mutagenized...
