Five new-type FC receptor molecules were constructed based on streptoc
occal protein G (SpG) and staphylococcal protein A (SpA). These protei
n molecules contain one to six Fc binding domains to immunoglobulins w
hich are structurally different from native SpG or SpA. Their expressi
on levels reached 17-30% of the total bacterial proteins after heat in
duction in E. coli. Immunodiffusion and ELISA results showed that the
engineered protein TG (184 amino acid residues) composed of three SpG
C3 domain could bind more broadly and efficiently than the native SpG
to the IgGs of human, goat, rabbit, etc., and its optimal pH for bindi
ng became wider (pH5-8) compared with the SpG (pH5); and the protein T
GA (357AA), fused by protein TG and the A, B, C domains of SpA, displa
yed both the binding pattern of SpG and SpA.
