In α-complementation, inactive N-terminal (α-domain) and C-terminal (ω-domain) fragments of β-galactosidase associate to reconstitute the active protein. To date, the effect of α-domain size on α-complementation activity has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we compared the complementation activities of α-domains of various sizes using an in vitro system. We found that the complementation activities are similar for α-domains comprising between 45 and 229 N-terminal residues bu ...[more]
