BirA biotin ligase
BirA biotin ligase is a biotin ligase that targets the Avi tag. BirA biotin ligase catalyzes the in vitro biotinylation of Avi-tagged substrates by site-specifically conjugating biotin to the lysine side chain within the Avi tag. BirA biotin ligase retains catalytic activity in thioredoxin and MBP fusion forms and can be used directly for biotinylation; this enzyme is suitable for in vitro protein biotinylation labeling studies.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Recombinant BirA biotin ligase (1 mM IPTG (HY-15921); 22 h) can be produced in BL21 (DE3) as a thioredoxin or MBP fusion and released by TEV cleavage, yielding 24.7 and 27.6 mg of purified ligase per liter of culture, respectively[1].
