Characterization of single and “two-warhead” evasins. (A) Arrangement of the 2-warhead expression constructs P1243:G4S:P1156 and P1156:G4S:P1243 (not to scale). P1243 was engineered in-frame with a GGGGS (G4S) flexible linker to P1156. The construct was tagged at the C-terminus with a StrepII:8xHis purification tag (S2:HIS). (B) Colloidal Coomassie stained SDS-polyacrylamide gels showing size exclusion column fractions of P1243:G4S:P1156 (left) and P1156:G4S:P1243 (right) obtained following nickel affinity chromatography. Molecular weight ladder (kDa) is indicated in lane 1. The gel images were cropped for clarity and the uncropped images are provided in Fig.S5. (C) Binding affinities (Kd, M) and target residence times (RT, minutes) of P1243, P1243:G4S:P1156 and P1156:G4S:P1243 to human CC-chemokines using biolayer interferometry. High affinity binding is indicated as shades of green, medium affinity as yellow, and low affinity as shades of orange. Chemokines are arranged by sequence-similarity based phylogeny. A dash (-) indicates that binding was either not detected (CCL2) or that Kd could not be determined. Affinity and target residence time in each case was calculated on data obtained at five or more chemokine concentrations.
