Article Synopsis
- - Sensory capabilities are essential for cellular interaction, leading to the development of sensory globular protein vesicles (GPVs) made from recombinant fusion proteins that self-assemble in water.
- - GPVs functionally interact with the signaling molecule rapamycin to form a FKBP-FRB ternary complex, which incorporates a genetically fused fluorescent protein and leucine zipper for vesicle assembly.
- - The study reveals that GPVs can aggregate in response to rapamycin in a time- and concentration-dependent way, providing insights into their potential use as models for mimicking key cellular processes in synthetic biology.
