Popis: | Microbial transglutaminase enzyme (mTGase) is an extremely useful enzyme that is increasingly employed in the food and pharmaceutical industries and as a tool for protein modification and tagging. The current study describes how we immobilised mTGase (iTGase) on a solid support to improve its stability during the PEGylation process by which polyethylene glycol chains are attached to protein and peptide drugs. When the enzyme was immobilised at the N-terminal sequence on agarose beads, it retained more than 53% of its starting activity. Kinetic studies on the immobilised and free mTGase disclosed a 1.7 and 1.5 fold decrease of Km and Vmax, respectively. Protein PEGylation was carried out using α-lactalbumin (α-LA) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). In the former case, the iTGase showed a selective conjugation towards only one Gln residue of α-LA, avoiding formation of a mono- and bi-conjugate mixture that is achieved using the free enzyme. In the latter case, the immobilised enzyme still remained selective towards only one Gln, but avoided the undesired formation of deamidated G-CSF that took place when free mTGase was used. Overall, the results of the current study highlight the suitability of iTGase in preparing site-selective protein-polymer conjugates. |
