Streptavidin SBPM18 is a streptavidin mutein that can bind both biotinylated proteins and SBP tagged proteins with high affinity (Kd ~10-8M) in a reversible manner.
Highlights:
Streptavidin binding peptide (SBP) tag is a peptide tag that binds to streptavidin with nmolar binding affinity (2). Although the original peptide tag is 38 amino acids in length, crystallographic and biochemical studies indicate that only 25 amino acids are essential for high affinity binding (3). It has high binding affinity to streptavidin because both the N- and C-terminal ends of the 25-amino-acid tag can bind simultaneously to the binding pockets in streptavidin, a tetrameric protein with a binding pocket in each subunit (3). One streptavidin can bind two SBP tags. Since the peptide binding pocket in each streptavidin subunit is the same as the biotin binding pocket in the subunit, biotin binding can effectively displace the bound SBP tag. Natural streptavidin captures biotin extremely tight (Kd ~10-14M). This streptavidin mutein has two mutations to weaken the interactions between biotin and streptavidin (1). This leads to biotin binding in a reversible manner. To simplify the preparation of the affinity matrix, the streptavidin mutein is fused to an agarose binding domain (4). The SAVSBPM18-ABD fusion binds tightly to Sepharose CL-6B. Affinity matrices prepared in this manner show comparable properties as matrices prepared via chemical coupling.

Very mild conditions (washing with a buffer containing biotin) are sufficient to elute the bound target proteins from the matrices. Extensive wash of the column with the buffer without biotin can effectively regenerate the streptavidin mutein matrix for the next round of purification.
