TuPPL: Tub-tag mediated C-terminal protein-protein-ligation using complementary click-chemistry handles

Org Biomol Chem. 2019 May 28;17(20):4964-4969. doi: 10.1039/c9ob00508k. Epub 2019 Apr 1.

Abstract

We introduce a chemoenzymatic strategy for straightforward in vitro generation of C-terminally linked fusion proteins. Tubulin tyrosine ligase is used for the incorporation of complementary click chemistry handles facilitating subsequent formation of functional bispecific antibody-fragments. This simple strategy may serve as central conjugation hub for a modular protein ligation platform.
