Abstract

A candidate human tumor suppressor gene 101F6 product was expressed successfully in Pichia pastoris yeast cells. The purified 101F6 protein was successfully incorporated into phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs with different sizes by employing two reconstitution methods; self-assembly and reconstitution into the preformed empty nanodisc. The reconstituted 101F6 protein could be reduced with ascorbate quickly and was very stable even at ambient temperatures.
