Production of Recombinant Polypeptides Containing One GA-Module and Analysis of Their Ability to Bind to Human Albumin

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Surface proteins of many bacterial species interact with human serum albumin (HSA) via a special region of amino acid sequence termed GA module. For instance, surface peptostreptococcal albumin-binding protein of anaerobic bacteria Peptostreptococcus magnus contains one HSA-binding GA-module. Protein G from group G and C Streptococcus strains isolated from humans has HSA-binding region consisting of three GA-modules. HSA-binding protein containing two GA-modules was found in strains of group G Streptococcus of animal origin. We obtained two recombinant polypeptides GA1 and GA2 congaing one GA-module each. Recombinant polypeptide with two GA-modules binds HSA with a much higher affinity than polypeptides GA1 and GA2 containing one GA-module. Polypeptide with the second GAmodule more effectively binds HSA than polypeptides with the GA-module.
