Site-specific protein labelling and immobilization mediated by microbial transglutaminase

Microbial transglutaminase (mTG) shows broad substrate specificity that is amenable to in vitro bio-conjugation applications. Herein, test proteins were genetically fused with peptide tags, followed by mTG-mediated propargylation of their reactive Gln residues. The propargylated proteins were subjec...

Zusammenfassung:Microbial transglutaminase (mTG) shows broad substrate specificity that is amenable to in vitro bio-conjugation applications. Herein, test proteins were genetically fused with peptide tags, followed by mTG-mediated propargylation of their reactive Gln residues. The propargylated proteins were subjected to copper-assisted azide-alkyne cycloaddition to demonstrate either fluorescent labelling or immobilization.
