...similarly to their untagged counterparts. These findings motivated Georgieva et al. to develop new tags...from non-vertebrate systems. Preliminary testing indicated that inntags IT5, IT6, and IT10 expressed well...on these parameters. IT5 and IT6 displayed good binding efficiency in both immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation...for both applications.
To prove that inntags are indeed innocuous, Georgieva et al. created tagged versions...detrimental effects on cell size and growth rate, indicating that they compromised protein-protein interactions...
