Introduction

A common strategy for investigating molecular and cellular biological questions is the use of fusion proteins and to control the functions of these proteins in a spatial and temporal manner. Instead of manipulating proteins on the genomic level, we aimed at editing proteins post-translationally. By using our intein toolbox, one is able to fuse proteins and/or protein tags(Link), as well as reconstitute the function by complementing two formerly split halves of a single protein, and thereby recreate the function of the protein. Mechanistically, the reconstitution of split proteins is identical with the fusion of different proteins to their tags.
