A preparation strategy for protein-oriented immobilized silica magnetic beads with Spy chemistry for ligand fishing

ABSTRACT: Due to the complexity of bioactive ingredients in biological samples, the screening of target proteins is a complex process. Herein, a feasible strategy for directing protein immobilization on silica magnetic beads for ligand fishing based on SpyTag/SpyCatcher (ST/SC)-mediated anchoring is presented. Carboxyl functional groups on the surface of silica-coated magnetic beads (SMBs) were coupled with SC using the 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide method, named SC-SMBs. The green fluorescent protein (GFP), as the capturing protein model, was ST-labeled and anchored at a specific orientation onto the surface of SC-SMBs directly from relevant cell lysates via ST/SC self-ligation. The characteristics of the SC-SMBs were studied via electron mic
