| ==''' Cell-free synthesis of actin-like cytoskeleton filaments'''==
| |
| The expression of the MreB-RFP fusion protein and RFP, both with an N-terminal His6 tag, using the cell-free expression system was verified by SDS-PAGE (Fig 1), indicating that our cassette was successful expressed in vitro. Both MreB and RFP protein are around 30 kDa in size.

| =='''Cell-free expression in W/O/W microdroplets'''==
| |
| Results from fluorescence micrograph and confocal micrograph supported the compatibility of double emulsions with cell-free expression of soluble and structural membrane-related proteins.

Fluorescence micrograph of a W/O/W during the expression of (a) RFP as a soluble protein in the protocell cytosol, and (b) MreB-RFP, which has portioned at the hydrophobic interface. Figure (c) shows a confocal micrograph (3um thick plane) of a W/O/W, 14 h after generation. The RFP-tagged MreB polymerized, forming aggregates localized to the oil-water interface. The image was created by forming the W/O/W droplets with 100 nM BODIPY dispersed in the oil phase and MreB-RFP in the segmented phase. Fluorescence was detected in separate channels. ]]
