    Enhancing Robustness of Sortase A by Loop Engineering and Backbone Cyclization
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Zou, Zhi; Mate, Diana M.; Nöth, Maximilian; Jakob, Felix; Schwaneberg, Ulrich
    Staphylococcus aureus sortase A (SaSrtA) is widely used for site-specific protein modifications, but it lacks the robustness for performing bioconjugation reactions at elevated temperatures or in presence of denaturing agents. Loop engineering and subsequent head-to-tail backbone cyclization of SaSrtA yielded the cyclized variant CyM6 that has a 7.5 °C increased melting temperature and up to 4.6-fold increased resistance towards denaturants when compared to the parent rM4. CyM6 gained up to 2.6-fold (vs. parent rM4) yield of conjugate in ligation of peptide and primary amine under denaturing conditions. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH
