A guide-tag system controlling client enrichment into Y15 peptide-based granules for an in-cell protein recruitment assay

Abstract

Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) are valuable building blocks for the fabrication of artificial supramolecules. We developed a guide-tag system that concentrates client proteins into SAP-based scaffolds in cellular environments at various enrichment levels. This system provides a tool to analyse the protein–protein interactions caused by protein clustering in cells.
