Transglutaminase-catalyzed cross-linking through diamines and polyamines

J. Schrode and J. E. Folk

Transglutaminases were found to catalyze the formation of cross-links between peptide chains by means of a transfer reaction between the carboxamide group of a glutamine residue in each chain and both primary amino groups of a diamine or a polyamine. Production of this heretofore undescribed linkage by guinea pig liver transglutaminase was demonstrated by the use of high performance liquid chromatography in a model system using glutamine peptide derivatives and a variety of diamines and polyamines. Evidence for intermolecular cross-linking through polyamines with both the liver enzyme and thrombin-activated human plasma blood coagulation factor XIII was obtained by the use of a guanidinated derivative of beta-casein.
