Use of GFP as a reporter for the analysis of sequence-specific proteases.

Abstract

This unit describes a rapid fluorescent assay for sequence-specific proteases. A recombinant His-tagged substrate-GFP fusion protein containing the sequence-specific protease-recognition sequence is used as substrate. Batch metal-chelate chromatography separates uncleaved substrate-GFP fusion protein from GFP released by proteolysis and proteolytic activity is determined by measuring the fluorescence of GFP remaining in solution.
