The ability of microbial transglutaminase to ligate two polypeptides through glutamine and lysine residues was exploited to generate cyclic peptides. Peptides with an N-terminal short glutamine-donor sequence (Ala-Leu-Gln), a variable polypeptide linker and a C-terminal lysine residue could efficiently be cyclised by the enzyme.

Abstract

The ability of microbial transglutaminase to ligate two polypeptides through glutamine and lysine residues was exploited to generate cyclic peptides. Peptides with an N-terminal short glutamine-donor sequence (Ala-Leu-Gln), a variable polypeptide linker and a C-terminal lysine residue could efficiently be cyclised by the enzyme.
