BG-GLA-NHS is an amine-reactive building block for the one-step synthesis of SNAP-tag® substrates from amine-containing precursors including proteins, peptides or oligonucleotides.

  • This building block allows you to make custom SNAP-tag substrates for labeling SNAP-tag fusion proteins
The SNAP-tag protein labeling system enables the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. The SNAP-tag is a protein based on human O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (hAGT). SNAP-tag substrates are fluorophores, biotin or beads conjugated to guanine or chloropyrimidine leaving groups via a benzyl linker. In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate is covalently attached to the SNAP-tag.

There are two steps to using this system: sub-cloning and expression of the protein of interest as a SNAP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the SNAP-tag substrate of choice. Expression of SNAP-tag fusion proteins is described in the documentation supplied with SNAP-tag plasmids. The labeling of the fusion proteins with the SNAP-tag substrate is described in this document.

Properties & Usage

Reaction Conditions

Coupling BG-GLA-NHS to Proteins
NHS coupling to proteins is often performed using an excess of NHS ester. Depending on the number of lysine residues in the protein, it may be necessary to stop the labeling reaction before it reaches completion to avoid damaging the protein or causing it to unfold. A typical coupling involves reacting the NHS ester with exposed primary amines on the surface of the proteins to form an amide bond. The reaction can be carried out at pH 7-9 (typically pH 8.3), temperatures from 4–37°C and incubation times ranging from 30 min to overnight. Care must be taken to avoid primary amine containing buffers such as Tris or ammonium ions.

Coupling BG-GLA-NHS to Amine-Containing Compounds
A typical procedure involves equimolar quantities of NHS ester, amine to be coupled and triethylamine in DMF at 30°C overnight. The purification strategy will depend on the label used. Good results have been obtained with both HPLC and silica gel chromatography



Notes
  • BG-GLA-NHS is supplied in lyophilized form and packaged under argon. The drySNAP-tag building block substrate should be stored at -20°C.
  • BG-GLA-NHS is soluble in anhydrous DMF or DMSO. Choose a solvent volume thatwill be compatible with the final use. Vortex and centrifuge briefly to removeany non-dissolved solids.
  • NHS esters readily hydrolyze in moist environments. Experiments should bedesigned to maximize the usage of BG-GLA-NHS. Storage of unused BG-GLA-NHSsolubilized in DMF or DMSO should be avoided. If unavoidable, we recommendstoring at -20°C for the minimum time period.
