A protein created by joining two genes together. Fusion proteins may occur naturally or can be created in the laboratory for research.
The result of translation of two or more genes joined such that they retain their correct reading frames but make a single protein.
A protein formed of two polypeptides, or parts of polypeptides, normally coded by separate genes.
a molecule containing the amino acid sequences of two different proteins
a protein comprising amino acid sequences from at least two different sources
A recombinant protein which is composed of amino acid sequences derived from more than one gene. Produced by insertion of coding DNA sequence "in frame" within a gene, followed by expression from the promoter of the original gene..
A chimeric polypeptide comprised of sequences derived from more than one gene.
The protein(s) on the surface of a virus particle responsible for fusion of the virus envelope with cellular membranes.
A fusion protein is a protein created through genetic engineering from two or more proteins/peptides. This is achieved by creating a fusion gene: removing the stop codon from the DNA sequence of the first protein, then appending the DNA sequence of the second protein in frame. That DNA sequence will then be expressed by a cell as a single protein.
