Engineering peptide ligase specificity by proteomic identification of ligation sites.


ABSTRACT: Enzyme-catalyzed peptide ligation is a powerful tool for site-specific protein bioconjugation, but stringent enzyme-substrate specificity limits its utility. We developed an approach for comprehensively characterizing peptide ligase specificity for N termini using proteome-derived peptide libraries. We used this strategy to characterize the ligation efficiency for >25,000 enzyme-substrate pairs in the context of the engineered peptide ligase subtiligase and identified a family of 72 mutant subtiligases with activity toward N-terminal sequences that were previously recalcitrant to modification. We applied these mutants individually for site-specific bioconjugation of purified proteins, including antibodies, and in algorithmically selected combinations for sequencing of the cellular N terminome with reduced sequence bias. We also developed a web application to enable algorithmic selection of the most efficient subtiligase variant(s) for bioconjugation to user-defined sequences. Our methods provide a new toolbox of enzymes for site-specific protein modification and a general approach for rapidly defining and engineering peptide ligase specificity.
