Altering Caspase Specificity Using an Intracellular Directed Evolution Approach

Abstract: Caspases are among the most specific of proteases, making them ideal targets for engineering new specificity and developing new protease‐based biotherapeutics. However, conventional high‐throughput methods for protein evolution are not amenable to caspases as they are multi‐chain, and intracellular. Increasing the complexity, active sites of caspases are highly flexible to allow for accommodation of various substrates, making a rational design approach difficult To overcome these challenges, we developed a met… Show more
