| Abstract | The FLAG$^{®}$ peptides DYKDDDDK and MDYKDDDDK are widely used affinity tags. Here we describe new variants of the FLAG peptides which, in direct ELISA, showed selective and differential binding to the commercially available anti-FLAG monoclonal antibodies M1, M2 and M5. Variants of the FLAG peptides were synthesized on polymer-grafted plastic pins, and in an ELISA incubated with mAbs M1, M2 and M5. Among the newly identified tag sequences are those that bind only one of the anti-FLAG mAbs and those that bind only two or all three of the anti-FLAG mAbs. Examples of new tag sequences are MDFKDDDDK (which binds mAb M5 and does not bind mAbs M1 and M2) and MDYKAFDNL (which binds mAb M2 and does not bind mAbs M1 and M5). The sensitivity in direct ELISA of some variants was increased, e.g. using mAb M2 it was found that replacing DDDDK in MDYKDDDDK by AFDNL increased the sensitivity in ELISA at least 10-fold. The activity of this peptide was studied in more detail. In different direct ELISAs, in which MDYKAFDNL was synthesized on polyethylene pins, coated onto polystyrene microtiter plates or onto nitrocellulose paper, the activity of this peptide was similar, i.e. increased at least 10-fold over that of MDYKDDDDK. Remarkably, in competitive ELISA the binding activity of soluble MDYKAFDNL was decreased 10-fold over those of soluble MDYKDDDDK or DYKDDDDK. The results seem to suggest that, in solution, the conformation of MDYKAFDNL is more ‘unstructured’ compared to its conformation when coated or linked to a carrier. We postulate that the newly described tag sequences may be used as affinity tags to separately detect, quantify and purify multiple co-expressed proteins and/or subunits. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
