A mutant transglutaminase (mutant TG) having high thermostability and/or high pH stability is provided. A mutant TG having a mutation at amino acid residue(s) such as D1, Y24, R48, S101, G102, N139, D142, L147, K152, G157, R167, N176, K181, E182, H188, D189, R208, T245, S246, G250, G275, S284, H289, G301, and K327 and/or a mutation of introducing a disulfide bond.

The present disclosure provides antibody drug conjugates comprising STING modulators. Also provided are compositions comprising the antibody drug conjugates. The compounds and compositions are useful for stimulating an immune response in a subject in need thereof.

The present invention provides engineered transglutamirase enzymes, polynucleotides encoding the enzymes, compositions comprising the enzymes, methods of producing these enzymes, and methods of using the engineered transglutaminase enzymes.

The present invention relates to a meat-like food composition containing: at least one raw material selected from the group consisting of a meat raw material and a meat substitute composition raw material; and a sheet containing a purified protein.

The present disclosure provides recombinant nucleic acids comprising one or more polynucleotides encoding a transglutaminase (TGM) polypeptide (e.g., a Transglutaminase-1 (TGM1) polypeptide); viruses comprising the recombinant nucleic acids; compositions comprising the recombinant nucleic acids and/or viruses; methods of their use; and articles of manufacture or kits thereof.

Antimicrobial preservative compositions that can be incorporated in products to be preserved are disclosed herein. The disclosed compositions include immobilized biocidal enzymes, such as cross-linking enzymes or active enzymes falling into the zymogen-class, for the purpose of modifying amino acid residues on a protein or binding a molecule of interest to a protein. The compositions include enzymes that are immobilized on a polymeric solid support, which improve the shelf life of the enzyme and protect the enzyme from auto-cross-linking or other deterioration over extended storage periods. Also disclosed are methods of increasing the self-like of products, such as personal care, household and industrial products, by incorporating an effective amount of the disclosed compositions into the product.

Provided herein are methods for site-specific conjugation of glycan intact antibodies by a transglutaminase. According to particular embodiments, the reaction conditions are maintained or reduced to a low-ionic strength condition, which allows for efficient and fast conjugation without the need for antibody deglycosylation. Also described are pharmaceutical compositions and uses related to the conjugation method.

Novel compositions of recombinant human CC10 protein have been generated by chemically modifying the pure protein in vitro. Several new synthetic preparations containing isoforms of chemically modified rhCC10 have been generated by processes that utilize reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. These preparations contain novel isoforms of rhCC10 which have been characterized with enhanced or altered biological properties compared to the unmodified protein. Preparations containing novel isoforms may be used as standards to identify and characterize naturally occurring isoforms of native CC10 protein from blood or urine and ultimately to measure new CC10-based biomarkers to assess patient disease status. These preparations may also be used to treat respiratory, autoimmune, inflammatory, and other medical conditions that are not effectively treated with the unmodified protein.

A method of bonding together surfaces of two or more elements. The method includes the steps of providing two or more elements, applying an adhesive to one or more of the surfaces to be bonded together before, during or after contacting the surfaces to be bonded together with each other, and curing the adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

A method for removing a stain from a surface using lipase enzymes, and a formulation comprising a lipase enzyme.
