Publication Abstract from PubMed

Although various artificial protein nanoarchitectures have been constructed, controlling the transformation between different protein assemblies has largely been unexplored. Here, we describe an approach to realize the self-assembly transformation of dimeric building blocks by adjusting their geometric arrangement. Thermotoga maritima ferritin (TmFtn) naturally occurs as a dimer; twelve of these dimers interact with each other in a head-to-side manner to generate 24-meric hollow protein nanocage in the presence of Ca(2+) or PEG. By tuning two contiguous dimeric proteins to interact in a fully or partially side-by-side fashion through protein interface redesign, we can render the self-assembly transformation of such dimeric building blocks from the protein nanocage to filament, nanorod and nanoribbon in response to multiple external stimuli. We show similar dimeric protein building blocks can generate three kinds of protein materials in a manner that highly resembles natural pentamer building blocks from viral capsids that form different protein assemblies.
