Amino Acid Sequence

Z-Gln-Gly

Application

γ-Glutamyl donor substrate used in spectrophotometric determination of transglutaminase (TGase) activity. Z-Gln-Gly was used to enzymatically synthesize N-linked neoglycoproteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-Glutaminylglycine (Z-Gln-Gly, Z-QG) is used as a substrate to differentiate and characterize transglutaminase(s) (TGase) that catalyzes the post-translational covalent cross-linking of Gln- and Lys-containing peptides. Z-QG supports glutamyl-level cross-linking applications thruough surface modification.

A new synthetic strategy for DNA-enzyme conjugates with a novel architecture was explored using a natural cross-linking catalyst, microbial transglutaminase (MTG). A glutamine-donor substrate peptide of MTG was introduced at the 5-position on the pyrimidine of deoxyuridine triphosphate to prepare

A chemically modified glass surface displaying a glutamyl donor substrate peptide (Z-QG) was developed for microbial transglutaminase (MTG)-mediated immobilization of recombinant proteins tagged with an MTG-reactive lysine-containing substrate peptide (K-tag). To evaluate the surface modification conditions affecting the enzymatic protein

A novel methodology for the enzymatic preparation from suitably derivatized oligosaccharides of N-linked neoglycopeptides using the microbial glutaminyl-peptide gamma-glutamyl transferase, transglutaminase (TGase), is described. N-Allyl glycosides of various oligosaccharides were photochemically coupled with cysteamine to yield amino-terminated thioether spacers, which

This work studied the production of Transglutaminase (TGase) using wheat bran as carbon source. The medium components and culture conditions were optimized by statistical Box-Behnken response surface methodology. The release of active Transglutaminase was enhanced by adding (i) protease to

Microbial transglutaminase (MTG) is an enzyme largely used in the food industry, mainly to improve food texture. However, many globular proteins show low susceptibility to the action of this enzyme. High-pressure processing (HPP), being able to change protein conformation, may
