Modeling | Dimerization Domains | Experimental Workflow |
After choosing potentially viable split sites and the dimerization domains, our team set out to clone a large set constructs and test them in HEK239T cells. For each indicated split site, we created 6 split pair variants - 3 using the different dimerization domains, and 3 using the same domains but in the opposite orientation. This means that for each split protein, we set out to clone 12 different plasmids. Ultimately, our construct set included over 400 constructs! We actually ended up cloning and testing around 200 of these.
Below are the graphs generated by our MATLAB model for each protein that we aimed to split. The split sites are indicated in black.
