Background
Sortase belongs to a class of transpeptidases that utilize an active site cysteine thiol to modify proteins by recognizing and cleaving a carboxy-terminal sorting signal, LPXTG (where X is any amino acid), between the threonine and glycine residues. Sortase 2A.9 is an engineered variant of the wild-type sortase from Staphylococcus aureus that is significantly more active than the wild-type sortase for site-specific labeling of antibodies or proteins containing an LAXTG recognition sequence (where X is any amino acid). Easily attach a wide variety of labels such as peptides, DNA, carbohydrates or fluorophores containing a poly-Glycine sequence (Gly)n (where n = 3 or more Glycine residues). Sortase 2A.9 is covered by US Patent No. 10,202,593.
Application Notes
Sortase 2A.9 recognizes an antibody or protein genetically engineered to contain the LAXTG motif, where X is any amino acid. Sortase 2A.9 cleaves this sequence between the threonine and glycine residues and the terminal glycine is then replaced with any poly-Glycine (G)n label to attach HRP, biotin, fluorophores and other labels. Sortase A2.9 may be used in a variety of labeling applications and conditions. Some suggested buffers for use are as follows:
Reaction Buffer: 300 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5
Stop Solution: 500 mM EGTA, pH 8.0.

Storage
Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
