Luminescence detection of peptide:N-glycanase activity using engineered split inteins†
Abstract
A split intein-based method has been developed to detect peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) activity in live cells. PNGase cleaves the linkage between N,N′-diacetylchitobiose and the Asn side-chain of N-intein peptides and the products react rapidly with C-intein by protein trans-splicing to generate an active luciferase.
