DBAT-Snooptag-His consists of the enzyme 10-deacetylbaccatin III 10-O-acetyltransferase (DBAT) fused to a short C-terminal polypeptide tag (Snooptag) and a Hexahistidine Tag (6xHis-tag), separated by interconnecting GSG linkage sequences. The sequence of DBAT which was used, originated from ''Taxus cuspidata'' (Japanese yew), with a double mutation of G38R/F301V (2). The SnoopTag is a small polypeptide tag that spontaneously forms an isopeptide bond between reactive amino acid side chains to its corresponding SnoopCatcher (Brune, 2017). This system opens up a variety of applications, utilising the catcher-tag conjugation system for bioconjugation and synthetic assembly of the DBAT enzyme to SnoopCatcher containing proteins.

This protein naturally participates in the synthesis of baccatin III, where it catalyses the final acetylation of 10-deacetylbaccatin III. Baccatin III synthesis is a subpathway of paclitaxel biosynthesis, which is itself part of Alkaloid biosynthesis. The mutant however, has been designed to catalyse the acetylation of 10-deacetyltaxol (DT) with a catalytic efficiency approximately six times higher than that of the wild-type.

TycAS563A-SpyT-His

Introduction

TycA-SpyTag-His consists of the enzyme Tyrocidine synthase 1 fused at the C-terminus to a short polypeptide tag (Spytag) and a Hexahistidine Tag (6xHis-tag), separated by interconnecting GSG linkage sequences. Our team utilised a sequence originating from Brevibacillus parabrevis with a S563A amino acid mutation. (1) (2)

Image

The Hexahistidine tag is a common additive due to its high affinity for metal ions used in the purification technique of immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Ni2+ ions were used for his-tag purification due to its high yield.


Usage and Biology

Tyrocidine Synthase 1 (TycA) is known to be involved in tyrocidine biosynthesis, a part of antibiotic biosynthesis. In the biosynthesis of the Paclitaxel side chain, TycA combines the beta-phenylalanine and the CoA thioester, and can also catalyse the production of phenylisoserinyl-CoA. (3) Recombinant TycA has a sequence of 1088 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 122,672. (2)
