Abstract excerpt
A Staphylococcus aureus transpeptidase, sortase A (SrtA), which catalyzes a peptide ligation with high substrate specificity, is a useful tool to site-specifically attach proteinaceous/peptidic functional molecules to target proteins. However, its strong Ca(2+) dependency makes SrtA difficult for use under low Ca(2+) concentrations and in the presence of Ca(2+)-binding substances. To overcome this problem, we...
