Biotin Ligase Epitope Tag Antibody

Anti-Biotin Ligase Epitope Tag antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic avi-tag peptide GLNDIFEAQKIEWH (minimal BirA substrate; biotin is added to the sequence at the lysine) .

The peptide is also called the biotin acceptor peptide (BAP) of the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) subunit of acetyl CoA carboxylase of E. coli.

This antiserum detects the minimal peptide substrate (GLNDIFEAQKIEWH) for the E. coli biotin ligase tag (BLT of BirA) . This peptide is also called the biotin acceptor peptide (BAP) of the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) subunit of acetyl CoA carboxylase of E. coli. Western blot analysis of B. subtilis strains producing either (BAP-tagged) SPoIIIAH (XWB49) or (BAP-tagged) SpoIIQ (XWB46) showed strong and specific reactivity to the antisera. Minor background bands of unknown identity may be observed. The antisera will recognize the BAP/BLT tag irrespective of the whether the tag is biotinylated (data not shown) .
