Development of a Tetrameric Streptavidin Mutein with Reversible Biotin Binding Capability: Engineering a Mobile Loop as an Exit Door for Biotin

A novel form of tetrameric streptavidin has been engineered to have reversible biotin binding capability. In wild-type streptavidin, loop(3–4) functions as a lid for the entry and exit of biotin. When biotin is bound, interactions between biotin and key residues in loop(3–4) keep this lid in the clo...
