Spontaneous Intermolecular Amide Bond Formation between Side Chains for Irreversible Peptide Targeting

Abstract: Peptides and synthetic peptide-like molecules are powerful tools for analysis and control of biological function. [1][2][3] One major problem with the use of peptides is the instability of their interactions with biomolecules, with typically micromolar affinity relating to the limited accessible surface area 4,5 and the intrinsic flexibility of peptides. 6 However, appending a short peptide tag is the most common way to allow a protein of interest to be isolated or detected, giving minimum perturbation to prot… Show more

“…Like Spy0128, in CnaB2 the isopeptide is between the N-terminal and C-terminal β-strands, so that, if the isopeptide does not break, then the force on the protein will not cause any extension of the protein chain. Intermolecular reconstitution can be achieved with split Spy0128 but the partners react orders of magnitude slower, undergo side reactions, and the protein is undesirably large (29). The stability of the SpyTag interaction before the isopeptide bond forms may relate to the known mechanical strength of long parallel β-strands, where multiple hydrogen bonds have to break simultaneously (23).…”

“…In addition, it is preferable for modules to be modified with peptide tags rather than protein fusion domains (e.g., HaloTag or SNAP-tag) for minimal disruption to module function (22,23). For unbreakable linkage to a peptide, we previously developed the use of spontaneous isopeptide bond formation (24,25). SpyTag is a 13-amino-acid peptide that can be genetically fused to the protein of interest, and upon mixing with its protein partner SpyCatcher, an Asp of SpyTag forms a spontaneous isopeptide bond with a Lys of SpyCatcher (26).…”

“…SpyTag002 and SpyCatcher002 demonstrated rapid reaction under a wide range of buffers, temperatures, and pH values, and as N‐terminal or C‐terminal fusions. SpyTag002/SpyCatcher002 allowed specific covalent pulse‐labeling of surface proteins on living cells and represents the fastest currently available Tag/Catcher pair 2b, 12. In future work it will be important to test these new variants for challenging in vitro labeling, such as coupling antigens at high density on virus‐like particles for vaccination 13.…”
