A streptavidin variant with slower biotin dissociation and increased mechanostability.
- Abstract:
-
Streptavidin binds biotin conjugates with exceptional stability but dissociation does occur, limiting its use in imaging, DNA amplification and nanotechnology. We identified a mutant streptavidin, traptavidin, with more than tenfold slower biotin dissociation, increased mechanical strength and improved thermostability; this resilience should enable diverse applications. FtsK, a motor protein important in chromosome segregation, rapidly displaced streptavidin from biotinylated DNA, whereas tra...
