TLDR
The shortened FAST is designed, which is composed of only 98 amino acids, the shortest genetically encoded tag among all known fluorescent and fluorogen-activating proteins, by truncating 26 N-terminal residues.Abstract:
One of the essential characteristics of any tag used in bioscience and medical applications is its size. The larger the label, the more it may affect the studied object, and the more it may distort its behavior. In this paper, using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, we have studied the structure of fluorogen-activating protein FAST both in the apo form and in complex with the fluorogen. We showed that significant change in the protein occurs upon interaction with the ligand. While the protein is completely ordered in the complex, its apo form is characterized by higher mobility and disordering of its N-terminus. We used structural information to design the shortened FAST (which we named nanoFAST) by truncating 26 N-terminal residues. Thus, we created the shortest genetically encoded tag among all known fluorescent and fluorogen-activating proteins, which is composed of only 98 amino acids.read more

TL;DR: In this paper , the structure-based rational design of the enhanced FAST mutants, optimized for the N871b fluorogen, was described, and two mutants appeared brighter than the wild-type FAST, and these mutants provided up to 35% enhancement for several other fluorogens of similar structure, both in vitro and in vivo.
