Abstract
The present invention provides means and methods for equipping a polypeptide of interest at its C-terminus with a versatile adaptor amino acid that allows the functionalization of the polypeptide of interest.
Claims14
A polypeptide wherein said polypeptide is a polypeptide other than tubulin and has a length of more than 19 amino acids, wherein the polypeptide comprises a recognition sequence for tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) at its C-terminus, wherein the recognition sequence comprises the amino acid sequence X4X3X2X1 (SEQ ID No:
- 11), wherein X4 is E, D, A, K, or P X3 is G, S, A, V or F, X2 is E, D or C and X1 is E.
