Protein-Protein Fusion Catalyzed by Sortase A
Chimeric proteins boast widespread use in areas ranging from cell biology to drug delivery. Post-translational protein fusion using the bacterial transpeptidase sortase A provides an attractive alternative when traditional gene fusion fails. We describe use of this enzyme for in vitro protein ligation and report the successful fusion of 10 pairs of protein domains with preserved functionality--...
متن کاملReceptor-directed chimeric toxins created by sortase-mediated protein fusion.
Chimeric protein toxins that act selectively on cells expressing a designated receptor may serve as investigational probes and/or antitumor agents. Here, we report use of the enzyme sortase A (SrtA) to create four chimeric toxins designed to selectively kill cells bearing the tumor marker HER2. We first expressed and purified: (i) a receptor recognition-deficient form of diphtheria toxin that l...
متن کاملProtein thioester synthesis enabled by sortase.
Proteins containing a C-terminal thioester are important intermediates in semisynthesis. Currently there is one main method for the synthesis of protein thioesters that relies upon the use of engineered inteins. Here we report a simple strategy, utilizing sortase A, for routine preparation of recombinant proteins containing a C-terminal (α)thioester. We used our method to prepare two different ...
متن کاملIMPROVEMENT OF hGM-CSF EXPRESSION USING A FUSION SYSTEM BY DIRECTING PROTEIN TO THE PERIPLASMIC SPACE
Bacterial expression systems provide economic and logistic advantages in manufacturing proteins for human therapeutic purposes. However, most such proteins accumulate in insoluble biologicaIIy inactive form when overexpressed in bacterial cells. This is the case while attempting to produce recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in E. coli. In this repor...
