Abstract excerpt
The fusion of different proteins can result in the linkage-dependent emergence of molecular switches. We inserted chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) from Escherichia coli into a loop of a d-fucose-responsive mutant of transcription factor AraC, using linker libraries with various lengths. We found that on-switches tend to emerge when two proteins are fused with linkers long enough to fill the gap of the...
