We report the use of a protein ligase to covalently ligate a protein to a peptide nucleic acid (PNA). The rapid ligation demands only an N-terminal GL dipeptide in the target protein and a C-terminal NGL tripeptide in the PNA. We demonstrate the versatility of this approach by attaching a PNA strand to three different proteins. Lastly, we show that erasable imaging of EGFR on HEK293 cell membranes is achieved with DNA origami nanostructures and toehold-mediated strand displacement.
我们报告了使用一种蛋白质连接酶将蛋白质共价连接到肽核酸 (PNA) 上。这种快速连接只需要目标蛋白中的 N 端 GL 二肽和 PNA 中的 C 端 NGL 三肽。我们通过将 PNA 链连接到三种不同的蛋白质上证明了这种方法的多功能性。最后,我们表明使用 DNA 折纸纳米结构和引发介导的链置换可以实现对 HEK293 细胞膜上 EGFR 的可擦除成像。
