Introducing Cysteines into Nanobodies for Site-Specific Labeling

Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapport/proceedingBidrag til bog/antologiForskningpeer review

We have developed a generally applicable methodology for cysteine mutagenesis of nanobody (Nb) framework region serine residues. This strategy allows for subsequent labeling with thiol-reactive compounds without disrupting Nb antigen binding. We provide a protocol for production, labeling, and affinity determination of cysteine-engineered Nbs (cys-Nbs) with Alexa Fluor 488-maleimide and the mercury compound para-chloromercuribenzoic acid (PCMB). Alexa Fluor 488- and PCMB-labeled cys-Nbs can be used for immunofluorescence microscopy and experimental phasing in crystallography, respectively.
