Abstract:
Described herein are nanopore protein conjugates that can be used in DNA sequencing reactions. The nanopore protein conjugates includes a nanopore protein monomer that is joined to a DNA binding domain. The nanopore protein monomer is available to oligomerize with other nanopore protein monomers, while the DNA binding domain is available to bind to a template DNA strand. In certain examples, the nanopore protein monomer is an alpha-hemolysin monomer or variant thereof and the DNA binding domain is an Sso7d protein or variant thereof, such as an Sso7d-like protein. Also provided are nanopore protein assemblies incorporating the nanopore protein conjugates, along with methods of using the nanopore protein assemblies in sequencing reactions.
