Segmentation strategy of de novo designed four-helical bundles expands protein oligomerization modalities for cell regulation

New protein assemblies can be introduced through the fusion of selected proteins with di/oligomerization domains, which interact specifically with their partners but not with other cellular proteins. Here the authors demonstrate that a single four-helical bundle protein can be segmented into several...

description New protein assemblies can be introduced through the fusion of selected proteins with di/oligomerization domains, which interact specifically with their partners but not with other cellular proteins. Here the authors demonstrate that a single four-helical bundle protein can be segmented into several different parts, defining up to four interacting molecules for enzyme reconstitution, gene expression, or CAR-T cell regulation.
