  • DE NOVO DESIGN OF PHOSPHORYLATION INDUCIBLE PROTEIN SWITCHES (PHOSPHO-SWITCHES)
    Publication number: 20220226485
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a chimeric polypeptide comprising a helical bundle which comprises between about two and about seven alpha-helices and a bioactive peptide, wherein one or more of the alpha helices form one or more inter-helix hydrogen bonds and comprise at least one phosphorylation site and wherein the bioactive peptide is conformationally placed inside the helical bundle so that the bioactive peptide is not activated or exposed. The disclosure also provides a nucleotide sequence encoding the chimeric polypeptide, a vector comprising the nucleotide sequence, a cell comprising the nucleotide sequence, and method of making, using, or designing the chimeric polypeptide.
