additional information | utility of single lysine substitutions and the C-terminal Lys447 for engineering efficient acyl acceptor sites suitable for site-specific conjugation to a range of glutamine-based acyl donor substrates. Because recombinant mAbs lack the C-terminal Lys447 due to cleavage by carboxypeptidase B in the production cell host, it is analyzed if blocking the cleavage of Lys447 by the addition of a C-terminal amino acid can result in transamidation of Lys447 by a variety of acyl donor substrates. MTG efficiently transamidates Lys447 in the presence of any nonacidic, nonproline amino acid residue at position 448. Scanning mutagenesis of the hinge region in a Fab' fragment reveals sites of transamidation that are not reactive in the context of the full-length mAb. A positive-control peptide with two known lysine acyl acceptor sites (GGSTKHKIPGGS) is genetically fused to the C-terminus of mAb1 HC or LC (HC-KTag or LC-KTag, respectively) and analyzed for transamidation. The addition of the KTag to the HC C-terminus blocks removal of Lys447, thereby allowing MTG to utilize Lys447 as an acyl acceptor site.

additional information | site-specific conjugation to native and engineered lysines in human immunoglobulins by microbial transglutaminase, overview. ESI-MS analysis of antibodies incubated with an acyl donor substrate and enzyme MTG, performed by incubation with ZQG-biotin and MTG at 37°C overnight followed by digestion with IdeS to generate Fab'2 and Fc fragments. A positive-control peptide with two known lysine acyl acceptor sites (GGSTKHKIPGGS) is genetically fused to the C-terminus of mAb1 HC or LC (HC-KTag or LC-KTag, respectively) and analyzed for transamidation. The addition of the KTag to the HC C-terminus blocks removal of Lys447, thereby allowing MTG to utilize Lys447 as an acyl acceptor site. Effect of single C-terminal amino acids on transamidation of HC Lys447, and analysis of transamidation of single lysine substitutions in gamma, iota, kappa, and lambda constant regions, overview. Optimal transamidation of an LC C-terminal lysine requires a spacer between Cys214 and the lysine. Analysis of transamidation of select single lysine substitutions, conducted by incubating samples with ZQG-biotin and MTG at 37°C overnight.
