SpyTag/SpyCatcher Protein Coupling

Overview

The SpyTag/SpyCatcher system is a convenient protein coupling tool for irreversible peptide-protein ligation. It is ideal for binding, labeling, immobilization and creating new kinds of protein architectures.

Peptide interaction with proteins is usually weak. SpyTag is a genetically encoded peptide (SpyTag003 sequence RGVPHIVMVDAYKRYK) that forms a spontaneous amide bond upon binding its genetically encoded partner SpyCatcher. SpyTag003 reacts with SpyCatcher under a wide range of conditions.

Allophycocyanin (APC) is a phycobiliprotein isolated from Spirulina sp., a blue-green alga. Like other phycobiliproteins, APC is fluorescent, with an extremely high absorptivity and high quantum efficiency. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and an emission peak at 660 nm.

SpyCatcher003 (S49C) has a unique cysteine for precise labeling with APC via maleimide chemistry for instance. We have successfully used this APC labelled SpyCatcher003 (S49C) protein to conjugate a recombinant OKT3 antibody that already has a SpyTag. The result APC labelled OKT3 antibody was successfully used for flow cytometry.

Guideline for Use

1.     The concentration is determined by absorption = 73 at 650 nm for a 1% solution for only those APC molecules to which at least one molecule of SpyCatcher003 (S49C) is bound.

2.     Add 2mg APC labelled SpyCatcher003 (S49C) protein per mg of Spytag modified antibody. Mix and incubate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. The labeled antibody can be directly tested by flow cytometry.  The amount of protein can be scaled proportionally.
