This study presents a new method for creating expression templates (ETs) for protein production. This approach enhances cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems, enabling faster and more efficient protein function evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Synthetic Biology

Background:

  • Protein function analysis is hindered by slow expression of diverse protein targets.
  • Current methods lack efficiency in generating active proteins for high-throughput screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a parallel method for constructing transcriptionally active expression templates (ETs).
  • To enhance cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) for improved enzyme activity and high-throughput protein function evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • A single-step PCR method was used to create ETs with T7 regulatory elements.
  • Overlap-extension PCR separated regulatory element addition from full-length product amplification.
  • Modified CFPS reactions were employed with added cofactors and metal ions.

Main Results:

  • Over 90% of 55 diverse genomic targets were successfully converted into ETs with high yield and purity.
  • Unpurified ETs directed active protein expression in a modified CFPS system.
  • Enhanced enzyme activity was observed, surpassing background levels and avoiding protein purification.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method enables efficient parallel synthesis of linear ETs.
  • Enhanced in vitro enzyme activation in CFPS systems facilitates high-throughput protein function assessment.
  • This approach makes CFPS systems more attractive for rapid evaluation of protein function.
