Self-assembly of a multimeric genomic hydrogel via multi-primed chain reaction of dual single-stranded circular plasmids for cell-free protein production

Summary: Recent technical advances in cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) offer several advantages over cell-based expression systems, including the application of cellular machinery, such as transcription and translation, in the test tube. Inspired by the advantages of CFPS, we have fabricated a mul...

description Summary: Recent technical advances in cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) offer several advantages over cell-based expression systems, including the application of cellular machinery, such as transcription and translation, in the test tube. Inspired by the advantages of CFPS, we have fabricated a multimeric genomic DNA hydrogel (mGD-gel) via rolling circle chain amplification (RCCA) using dual single-stranded circular plasmids with multiple primers. The mGD-gel exhibited significantly enhanced protein yield. In addition, mGD-gel can be reused at least five times, and the shape of the mGD-gel can be easily manipulated without losing the feasibility of protein expression. The mGD-gel platform based on the self-assembly of multimeric genomic DNA strands (mGD strands) has the potential to be used in CFPS systems for a variety of biotechnological applications.
