a General structural elements of SNACIP inducers in which the small molecule binding motif can be introduced either synthetically or posttranslationally. b Schematic view of the structure and working mechanisms of cRGT. c Structural elements of CysTMP (left) and Cys-cR10* (r: D-Arg, R: L-Arg) (right). d Two-step assembly of cRGT (IV) via EPL followed by disulfidization chemistry. e Representative size-exclusion chromatographic (SEC) analysis of 1 nmol EGFP, eDHFR or GBP-TMP (III) using Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL column at a flow rate of 0.4 ml·min-1 revealed retention volumes (VR) of 16.2 ml, 16.7 ml and 18.4 ml, respectively. f SEC analysis of 1 nmol of EGFP/GBP-TMP/eDHFR ternary complex (solid line) which revealed a single peak at VR 14.1 ml while SEC analysis of a mixture of 1 nmol EGFP and 1 nmol eDHFR in the absence of GBP-TMP (dashed line) revealed no complex formation; same SEC instrumentation and parameters were applied as in e. g Denaturing SDS-PAGE analysis of EGFP, eDHFR and GBP-TMP used in e as well as the EGFP/GBP-TMP/eDHFR ternary complex corresponding to the VR 14.1 ml peak in f.
