Amino Acid Sequence

Z-Gln-Gly

Application

γ-Glutamyl donor substrate used in spectrophotometric determination of transglutaminase (TGase) activity. Z-Gln-Gly was used to enzymatically synthesize N-linked neoglycoproteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-Glutaminylglycine (Z-Gln-Gly, Z-QG) is used as a substrate to differentiate and characterize transglutaminase(s) (TGase) that catalyzes the post-translational covalent cross-linking of Gln- and Lys-containing peptides. Z-QG supports glutamyl-level cross-linking applications thruough surface modification.

A novel methodology for the enzymatic preparation from suitably derivatized oligosaccharides of N-linked neoglycopeptides using the microbial glutaminyl-peptide gamma-glutamyl transferase, transglutaminase (TGase), is described. N-Allyl glycosides of various oligosaccharides were photochemically coupled with cysteamine to yield amino-terminated thioether spacers, which

A chemically modified glass surface displaying a glutamyl donor substrate peptide (Z-QG) was developed for microbial transglutaminase (MTG)-mediated immobilization of recombinant proteins tagged with an MTG-reactive lysine-containing substrate peptide (K-tag). To evaluate the surface modification conditions affecting the enzymatic protein

Microbial transglutaminase (MTG) from Streptomyces mobaraensis has been widely used for crosslinking proteins in order to acquire products with improved properties. To improve the yield and enable a facile and efficient purification process, recombinant vectors, harboring various heterologous signal peptide-encoding

Polymer-drug and polymer-protein conjugates are promising candidates for the delivery of therapeutic agents. PEGylation, using poly(ethylene glycol) for the conjugation, is now the gold standard in this field, and some PEGylated proteins have successfully reached the market. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES)
