Product Description

Fluoppi is a technology providing an easy way to visualize protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with a high signal to noise ratio. It employs an oligomeric assembly helper tag (Ash-tag) and a tetrameric fluorescent protein tag (FP-tag) to create detectable fluorescent foci when there are interactions between two proteins fused to the tags. By way of example, genetic fusion of protein X with FP-tag, and Y with Ash-tag creates a tetrameric fluorescent fusion protein X-FP and an oligomeric fusion protein Y-Ash respectively. Because each fusion protein has multiple Xs or Ys, interaction between X and Y causes large lattice like complexes where the fluorescence by X-FP is concentrated and detectable as fluorescent foci. Anti-Ash-tag monoclonal antibody (mAb) recognizes the joint region between Ash-tag and flexible linker . Fluoppi Ver.2 : Ash-Red contains an additional amino acid at the C terminal of Ash-tag expressed by pAsh-MNL, which make it possible to be recognized by the mAbFluoppi Ver.2 : Ash-Red includes 4 expression plasmids as listed in section 2. A tetrameric red fluorescent protein, Monti-Red, is employed as a FP-tag as describe
