ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

ABSTRACT Communication between living and artificial cells represents a fundamental step toward constructing hybrid systems capable of cooperative behaviors. Here, we introduce an ATP‐mediated energy transduction mechanism that enables bidirectional communication between natural...

Functional mapping and engineering of the Sec translocon unlocked by a cell-free system

Abstract Almost all proteins are inserted or translocated across membranes by the universally conserved Sec translocon. Despite its central role, experimental access to Sec function has remained limited. Here, we present a cell-free protein synthesis platform that inserts SecYEG...
