Applications of IPL

Return to Peptide Ligation

Since IPL allows the fusion of synthetic peptides, as well as bacterially expressed proteins, with an N-terminal cysteine, to a protein expressed in the IMPACT system, IPL has been used in a variety of ways including:

  • The expression of cytotoxic proteins (1). 
  • The labeling of proteins with radioactive compounds as well as with synthetic peptides containing biotin or fluorescein (1-3). 
  • The study of protein-protein interactions (4). 
  • The generation of kinase substrates by varying the kinase recognition site at the protein level instead of at the DNA level (5, 6).
  •  The generation of phosphatase substrates (7).
  • The isotopic labeling of proteins for NMR analysis (8). 
  • Generation of substrates for protein arrays (9). 
  • Site specifically incorporating lipid moieties into a protein (10).
