Sortase-mediated protein ligation: an emerging biotechnology tool for protein modification and immobilisation.

Sortases are transpeptidases produced by Gram-positive bacteria to anchor cell surface proteins covalently to the cell wall. The Staphylococcus aureus sortase A (SrtA) cleaves a short C-terminal recognition motif (LPXTG) on the target protein followed by the formation of an amide bond with the pentaglycine cross-bridge in the cell wall. Over recent years, several researchers have exploited this specific reaction for a range of biotechnology applications, including the incorporation of non-native peptides and non-peptidic molecules into proteins, the generation of nucleic acid-peptide conjugates and neoglycoconjugates, protein circularisation, and labelling of cell surface proteins on living cells.
