The development of chemical and biological coupling technologies in recent years has made possible of protein polymers engineering. We have developed an enzymatic method for building polyproteins using a protein ligase OaAEP1 (asparagine endopeptidase 1) and protease TEV (tobacco etching virus). Using a mobile TEV protease site compatible with the OaAEP1 ligation, we achieved a stepwise polymerization of the protein on the surface. The produced polyprotein can be verified by protein unfolding scenario using atomic force microscopy-based single-molecule force spectroscopy (AFM-SMFS). Thus, this study provides an alternative method for polyprotein engineering and immobilization.
近年来,化学和生物偶联技术的发展使蛋白质聚合物工程成为可能。我们开发了一种酶促方法,利用蛋白质连接酶OaAEP1(天冬酰胺内肽酶1)和蛋白酶TEV(烟草蚀纹病毒)构建多聚蛋白。通过使用与OaAEP1连接兼容的可移动TEV蛋白酶位点,我们在表面实现了蛋白质的逐步聚合。所产生的多聚蛋白可以通过基于原子力显微镜的单分子力谱(AFM-SMFS)使用蛋白质解折叠方案进行验证。因此,本研究为多聚蛋白工程和固定化提供了一种替代方法。
