Peptide asparaginyl ligases—renegade peptide bond makers by Tam, James P., Chan, Ning-Yu, Liew, Heng Tai, Tan, Shaun J., Chen, Yu

“…Butelase-1 specifically recognizes a C-terminal Asx-containing tripeptide motif, Asn/Asp-Xaa-Yaa (Xaa and Yaa are any amino acids), to form a site-specific Asn-Xaa peptide bond either intramolecularly as cyclic proteins or intermolecularly as modified proteins. Our work in the past five years has validated that butelase-1 is a potent and versatile ligase. …”
