Abstract

See full text

The present invention, in some aspects, provides methods, reagents, and kits for the functionalization of proteins on the surface of viral particles, for example, of bacteriophages, using sortase-mediated transpeptidation reactions. Some aspects of this invention provide methods for the conjugation of an agent, for example, a detectable label, a binding agent, a click-chemistry handle, or a small molecule to a surface protein of a viral particle. Kits comprising reagents useful for the generation of functionalized viral particles are also provided, as are precursor proteins that comprise a sortase recognition motif, and viral particles comprising such precursor proteins. Nucleic acids encoding viral proteins comprising a sortase recognition motif and expression vectors comprising such nucleic acids are also provided.
