additional information | site-specific transglutaminase-mediated conjugation of interferon alpha-2b at glutamine or lysine residues. Reactivity of IFN alpha-2b to microbial transglutaminase (TGase) allows site-specific conjugation of this protein drug. Production of two monoderivatized isomers of IFN with high yields, mass spectrometry analysis of the two conjugates indicating that they are exclusively modified at the level of Gln101 if the protein is reacted in the presence of an amino-containing ligand (i.e. dansylcadaverine) or at the level of Lys164 if a glutamine-containing molecule is used (i.e. carbobenzoxy-L-glutaminyl-glycine, ZQG). The enzyme is absolutely specific, among the 10 Lys and 12 Gln residues of the protein, only Gln101 and Lys164 are located in highly flexible protein regions | Streptomyces mobaraensis | ? | - |
