BISPYCATCHER2
BiSpyCatcher2 (H-BiSpyC2) is a 29 kDa homodimer of SpyCatcher2 (TZC001) bridged with a flexible linker. Each SpyCatcher2 subunit can form a stable covalent isopeptide bond with a second protein that includes a SpyTag. The reaction occurs spontaneously on mixing, is rapid, irreversible, high-yielding and shows good specificity. BiSpyCatcher2 contains a His6-tag at the N-terminus. To avoid deamidation of asparagine, a N105D mutation was introduced (Hentrich et al. 2020) for each of the two Catchers.
The reaction is robust at pH 5 to 8, at temperatures from +4°C to +37°C, in various buffer conditions (Ca2+/Mg2+ not needed) and in the presence of detergents. The reaction also occurs inside cells (in vivo). Since the speed of the coupling reaction is concentration dependent, it is recommended to use BiSpyCatcher2 undiluted.
All the different formats of BiSpyCatcher2 are compatible with Bio-Rad's recombinant HuCAL® antibodies with a SpyTag2 at the C-terminus of the heavy chain.

BiSpyCatcher2 (TZC002) is available in two modified versions, BiSpyCatcher2-CYS (TZC002CYS) and BiSpyCatcher-CYS3 (TZC002CYS3), which contain one or three cysteine residues, respectively, for site-specific conjugation by the user.
BiSpyCatcher2-CYS can dimerize by formation of a disulfide bond via the free cysteines. Before conjugation to these cysteines, the BiSpyCatcher2-CYS must be reduced e.g., by addition of 5mM DTT and incubation for 1 hr at room temperature, followed by a fast DTT removal step, e.g., by size exclusion chromatography, as DTT can interfere with the conjugation chemistry.
BiSpyCatcher2-CYS3 contains DTT to avoid oligomerization through disulfide bond formation. Immediately before conjugation, to avoid oxidation and disulfide bond formation, carry out a fast DTT removal step, e.g., by size exclusion chromatography.
