Sortase A (SrtA) from Staphylococcus aureus has been often used for ligating a protein with
other natural or synthetic compounds in recent years. Here we show that SrtA-mediated
ligation (SML) is universally applicable for the linkage of two purely artificial building blocks.
Silica nanoparticles (NPs), poly (ethylene glycol) and poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) are
chosen as synthetic building blocks. As a proof of concept, NP–polymer, NP–NP, and
polymer–polymer structures are formed by SrtA catalysis. Therefore, the building blocks are …
Sortase A (SrtA) from Staphylococcus aureus has been often used for ligating a protein with other natural or synthetic compounds in recent years. Here we show that SrtA-mediated ligation (SML) is universally applicable for the linkage of two purely artificial building blocks. Silica nanoparticles (NPs), poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) are chosen as synthetic building blocks. As a proof of concept, NP–polymer, NP–NP, and polymer–polymer structures are formed by SrtA catalysis. Therefore, the building blocks are equipped with the recognition sequence needed for SrtA reaction—the conserved peptide LPETG—and a pentaglycine motif. The successful formation of the reaction products is shown by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The sortase catalyzed linkage of artificial building blocks sets the stage for the development of a new approach to link synthetic structures in cases where their synthesis by established chemical methods is complicated.
