Abstract
The functioning of proteins in a cell cannot be studied without analyzing their content in the cell. The most commonly used method of analysis, Western blotting, cannot always be used due to the impossibility of obtaining antibodies that specifically recognize the protein of interest. At the same time, Western blotting is a semi-quantitative method of analysis and does not allow determining the exact content of protein in the cell. In this work, we used the protein complementation method for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the hTERP protein content in the cell. Using genome editing, a HiBiT epitope was introduced to the C-terminus of the hTERP protein, the complementation of which with LgBiT restores active luciferase. As a result, we determined the hTERP protein content in the HEK293T cell line.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics is a journal consisting of English translations of articles published in Russian in biochemistry and biophysics sections of the Russian-language journal Doklady Akademii Nauk. The journal''s goal is to publish the most significant new research in biochemistry and biophysics carried out in Russia today or in collaboration with Russian authors. The journal accepts only articles in the Russian language that are submitted or recommended by acting Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal does not accept direct submissions in English.
