The unique reactivity of two sortase enzymes, SrtAstaph from Staphylococcus aureus and SrtAstrep from Streptococcus pyogenes, is exploited for site-specific labeling of a single polypeptide with different labels at its N and C termini. SrtAstrep is used to label the protein’s C terminus at an LPXTG site with a fluorescently labeled dialanine nucleophile. Selective N-terminal labeling of proteins containing N-terminal glycine residues is achieved using SrtAstaph and LPXT derivatives. The generality of N-terminal labeling with SrtAstaph is demonstrated by near-quantitative labeling of multiple protein substrates with excellent site specificity.

Methods for site-specific modification of proteins remain in high demand. The transpeptidation reaction catalyzed by sortase A from Staphylococcus aureus (SrtAstaph) allows site-specific derivatization of proteins with virtually any type of functional material. (1) Target proteins are engineered to contain the SrtAstaph recognition site (LPXTG) near their C terminus, thus allowing a transacylation reaction in which the residues C-terminal to threonine are exchanged for a synthetic oligoglycine peptide (Scheme 1). While the range of applications for this technology has expanded considerably, (1) the ligation chemistry itself has seen relatively few modifications or improvements. Since nearly all Gram-positive bacteria possess sortases, many with reactivity distinct from SrtAstaph, there is an exciting opportunity to develop complementary strategies for protein engineering using other members of this enzyme family. (2, 3) Here we present a strategy for placing discrete labels at both termini in the same polypeptide through the use of multiple sortases. We first describe the ability of SrtAstaph to append labels at the protein N terminus and then demonstrate how this can be used in conjunction with the activity of sortase A from Streptococcus pyogenes (SrtAstrep) to yield dual-labeled proteins.

With regard to N-terminal labeling mediated by SrtAstaph, we reasoned that labeled synthetic peptides containing the LPXTG recognition motif, or structural analogues thereof, could generate the requisite acyl−enzyme intermediate necessary for transpeptidation. In combination with protein nucleophiles containing one or more N-terminal glycines, this should result in transfer of the label to the protein N terminus (Figure 1a). We synthesized FITC (1) and biotin (2) derivatives of an LPRT peptide in which the glycine of the normal LPXTG motif was replaced by a methyl ester (Figure 1b and Figure S1 in the Supporting Information). The use of an ester derivative rather than the entire LPXTG motif was motivated by our concern that the glycine residue released after LPXTG cleavage might compete with the protein nucleophile, potentially complicating the desired N-terminal-labeling reaction. In contrast, transacylation with 1 and 2 would generate MeOH, a poor nucleophile for transacylation compared with glycine. It should be noted that concurrently with the work described here, it was demonstrated that labeled LPETGG peptides are viable tools for N-terminal labeling using SrtAstaph. (4)

(c) CtxB derivatives (50 μM) were treated with 500 μM 1 and 50 μM SrtAstaph for 2 h at 37 °C in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 10 mM CaCl2. Reactions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE with visualization by coomassie staining and fluorescent gel scanning.

With 1 and 2 in hand, we expressed a series of model proteins containing N-terminal glycine residues. We prepared variants of the cholera toxin B subunit (CtxB) with one, three, or five N-terminal glycines. In order to verify the selectivity for glycine, we prepared a control construct containing an N-terminal alanine residue. In the presence of SrtAstaph, we observed robust labeling of G3-CtxB and G5-CtxB using 500 μM 1 for 2 h at 37 °C, with no apparent labeling of the alanine-containing control (Figure 1c). Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) revealed quantitative labeling of G3-CtxB and G5-CtxB, with no modification observed for G1-CtxB and AG4-CtxB (Figure S2). Similar experiments with biotinylated derivative 2 and G5-CtxB yielded comparable results, as verified by ESI-MS and streptavidin immunoblot (Figure S3). In all cases, residual labeling of SrtAstaph itself, attributable to the formation of a covalent acyl−enzyme intermediate, was detected. N-terminal transpeptidation was also successful for two additional protein substrates, eGFP with five N-terminal glycines and UCHL3 containing a single N-terminal glycine (Figure S4).

With the ability of SrtAstaph to append labels at either terminus, we pursued the possibility of installing two modifications within the same protein. Attempts to execute this type of transformation using SrtAstaph alone were unsuccessful, as intramolecular transpeptidation between N-terminal glycines and the C-terminal LPXTG motif was unavoidable in most cases. Therefore, we considered the possibility of using a second, distinct sortase, an idea that has been suggested but never reduced to practice. (1, 5) We initially sought to use sortase B (SrtB) from either Staph. aureus or Bacillus anthracis as enzymes with recognition sequences (NPQTN and NPKTG, respectively) orthogonal to that of SrtAstaph. (6, 7) Both SrtB enzymes were easily produced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. We reproduced the reported in vitro enzyme activity using a FRET-based assay to measure cleavage of short peptides substrates. (6, 7) However, to date we have failed to obtain transpeptidation with either SrtB on protein substrates modified with the appropriate recognition sequences on a time scale or with yields that compare favorably with SrtAstaph (data not shown).

We ultimately arrived at a successful orthogonal strategy using SrtAstrep, which recognizes the same LPXTG sequence used by SrtAstaph but can accept alanine-based nucleophiles. (8) This leads to the formation of an LPXTA sequence at the site of ligation, a motif refractory to cleavage by SrtAstaph. (9) This allows SrtAstaph to act on the N terminus without affecting the C-terminal modification installed with SrtAstrep.

Our final strategy for dual-terminus labeling is outlined in Figure 2b. We first synthesized a tetramethylrhodamine-labeled peptide (3) containing two N-terminal alanine residues to serve as the nucleophile for SrtAstrep-mediated protein ligation (Figure 2a and Figure S5). We prepared two model substrates (eGFP and UCHL3) containing masked N-terminal glycines that are exposed only upon thrombin cleavage. Masking was required because SrtAstrep was observed to ligate both glycine and alanine nucleophiles (data not shown). Substrates also contained an LPXTG motif at the C terminus to allow a first round of labeling with SrtAstrep. For both eGFP and UCHL3, C-terminal labeling using 3 and SrtAstrep resulted in >90% conversion to the desired adduct, as revealed by ESI-MS (Figure S6). SrtAstrep was quenched by the addition of MTSET followed by removal of His6-tagged SrtAstrep using Ni-NTA. Residual 3 was then removed using a disposable desalting column. Thrombin cleavage proceeded in quantitative fashion using commercial thrombin agarose resin (Figure S6). The exposed N-terminal glycines were then labeled by treatment with 500 μM 1 and 50 μM Δ59-SrtAstaph (10) for ∼1 h at 37 °C. ESI-MS of crude reaction mixtures showed the dual-labeled material as the major component, with only minor amounts of byproduct (Figure S6). A final separation by anion-exchange chromatography yielded dual-labeled eGFP and UCHL3 with excellent purity, as determined by both SDS-PAGE and ESI-MS (Figure 2c,d and Figure S6). In the case of UCHL3, we observed some additional low-intensity bands in the fluorescent gel scan (Figure 2d). However, quantitative densitometric analysis of coomassie-stained gels indicated purity in excess of 95% for both dual-labeled eGFP and UCHL3.

In summary, we have developed a strategy for placing different chemical labels at the two ends of the same polypeptide using two sortase enzymes with unique reactivities. We anticipate that this method will be applicable to the preparation of protein conjugates for refolding studies or for the construction of protein sensors, where measuring conformational changes by FRET is a common mode of detection. In more general terms, this work begins to explore the range of protein modifications that can be accessed using alternative sortases. The number of sortases that have been produced in recombinant form with retention of activity is continually increasing, and we are exploring the use of these unique enzymes as tools for protein engineering.

    Genetically encoded reporter constructs that yield fluorescently labeled fusion proteins are a powerful tool for observing cell biol. phenomena, but they have limitations. Sortagging (sortase-mediated transpeptidation) is a versatile chemoenzymic system for site-specific labeling of proteins with small (<2 kDa) probes. Sortagging combines the precision of a genetically encoded tag with the specificity of an enzymic reaction and the ease and chem. versatility of peptide synthesis. Here the authors apply this technique to proteins in vitro and on the surface of living cells.

    Surface protein IsdC and sortase B are required for heme-iron scavenging of Bacillus anthracis
    Maresso, Anthony W.; Chapa, Travis J.; Schneewind, Olaf
    Journal of Bacteriology (2006), 188 (23), 8145-8152CODEN: JOBAAY; ISSN:0021-9193. (American Society for Microbiology)
    Bacillus anthracis, the spore-forming agent of anthrax, requires iron for growth and is capable of scavenging heme-iron during infection. The authors show here that the B. anthracis iron-regulated surface determinants (isd) locus encompasses isdC, specifying a heme-iron binding surface protein. Anchoring of IsdC to the cell wall envelopes of vegetative bacilli requires srtB, which encodes sortase B. Purified sortase B cleaves IsdC between the threonine and the glycine of its NPKTG motif sorting signal. B. anthracis variants lacking either isdC or srtB display defects in heme-iron scavenging, suggesting that IsdC binding to heme-iron in the cell wall envelope contributes to bacterial uptake of heme.

    An iron-regulated sortase anchors a class of surface protein during Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis
    Mazmanian, Sarkis K.; Ton-That, Hung; Su, Kenneth; Schneewind, Olaf
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (2002), 99 (4), 2293-2298CODEN: PNASA6; ISSN:0027-8424. (National Academy of Sciences)
    Sortase (SrtA), an enzyme that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall of Gram-pos. bacteria, cleaves sorting signals at the LPXTG motif. We have identified a second sortase (SrtB) in the Gram-pos. pathogen Staphylococcus aureus that is required for anchoring of a surface protein with a NPQTN motif. Purified SrtB cleaves NPQTN-bearing peptides in vitro, and a srtB mutant is defective in the persistence of animal infections. SrtB is part of an iron-regulated locus called iron-responsive surface determinants (isd), which also contains a ferrichrome transporter and surface proteins with NPQTN and LPXTG motifs. Cell wall-anchored surface proteins and the isd locus seem involved in a novel mechanism of iron acquisition that is important for bacterial pathogenesis.

    Figure 1. N-terminal labeling using SrtAstaph. (a) SrtAstaph catalyzes a transacylation reaction using labeled LPRT methyl esters as substrates. The labeled LPRT fragment is transferred to proteins containing N-terminal glycines in a site-specific fashion. (b) FITC (1) and biotin (2) LPRT methyl esters for N-terminal transacylation. (c) CtxB derivatives (50 μM) were treated with 500 μM 1 and 50 μM SrtAstaph for 2 h at 37 °C in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 10 mM CaCl2. Reactions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE with visualization by coomassie staining and fluorescent gel scanning.

      Sortagging: a versatile method for protein labeling
      Popp, Maximilian W.; Antos, John M.; Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M.; Spooner, Eric; Ploegh, Hidde L.

      Genetically encoded reporter constructs that yield fluorescently labeled fusion proteins are a powerful tool for observing cell biol. phenomena, but they have limitations. Sortagging (sortase-mediated transpeptidation) is a versatile chemoenzymic system for site-specific labeling of proteins with small (<2 kDa) probes. Sortagging combines the precision of a genetically encoded tag with the specificity of an enzymic reaction and the ease and chem. versatility of peptide synthesis. Here the authors apply this technique to proteins in vitro and on the surface of living cells.

      Surface protein IsdC and sortase B are required for heme-iron scavenging of Bacillus anthracis
      Maresso, Anthony W.; Chapa, Travis J.; Schneewind, Olaf
      Journal of Bacteriology (2006), 188 (23), 8145-8152CODEN: JOBAAY; ISSN:0021-9193. (American Society for Microbiology)
      Bacillus anthracis, the spore-forming agent of anthrax, requires iron for growth and is capable of scavenging heme-iron during infection. The authors show here that the B. anthracis iron-regulated surface determinants (isd) locus encompasses isdC, specifying a heme-iron binding surface protein. Anchoring of IsdC to the cell wall envelopes of vegetative bacilli requires srtB, which encodes sortase B. Purified sortase B cleaves IsdC between the threonine and the glycine of its NPKTG motif sorting signal. B. anthracis variants lacking either isdC or srtB display defects in heme-iron scavenging, suggesting that IsdC binding to heme-iron in the cell wall envelope contributes to bacterial uptake of heme.

      An iron-regulated sortase anchors a class of surface protein during Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis
      Mazmanian, Sarkis K.; Ton-That, Hung; Su, Kenneth; Schneewind, Olaf
      Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (2002), 99 (4), 2293-2298CODEN: PNASA6; ISSN:0027-8424. (National Academy of Sciences)
      Sortase (SrtA), an enzyme that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall of Gram-pos. bacteria, cleaves sorting signals at the LPXTG motif. We have identified a second sortase (SrtB) in the Gram-pos. pathogen Staphylococcus aureus that is required for anchoring of a surface protein with a NPQTN motif. Purified SrtB cleaves NPQTN-bearing peptides in vitro, and a srtB mutant is defective in the persistence of animal infections. SrtB is part of an iron-regulated locus called iron-responsive surface determinants (isd), which also contains a ferrichrome transporter and surface proteins with NPQTN and LPXTG motifs. Cell wall-anchored surface proteins and the isd locus seem involved in a novel mechanism of iron acquisition that is important for bacterial pathogenesis.
