Single-chain protein affinity ligands are recombinant polypeptides that recreate the antigen-binding site of parental, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or present unique binding surfaces derived from display technologies, computational design, or other approaches. These diverse ligands have several advantages over full-length mAbs as agents for delivery of small molecule, protein, and nanoparticle cargoes to desired sites in the body. However, they present unique challenges for modification and bioconjugation. Fusion of a LPXTGG motif, or “sortag”, and a 5-amino acid, flexible linker to the C-terminus of these affinity ligands enables high-efficiency transpeptidation by the bacterial enzyme, Sortase A, and site-specific addition of fluorophores, radiolabels, or functional groups for oriented and stoichiometrically-controlled bioconjugation. We describe in detail this method and address several challenges and pitfalls in the purification and characterization of modified single-chain affinity ligands.
