“…Along this line, similar ABPs for Ubl-specific proteases have been developed by replacing the C-terminal residue in the respective Ubl for an electrophilic moiety, such as -Prg, -VME, or -VS and these include ABPs based on SUMO1,-2, À3, Nedd8, ISG15, and UFM1. Currently, many of these Ub and Ub-like ABPs are commercially available but are also readily obtained by chemical synthesis (Basters et al, 2017;Ekkebus et al, 2013;Mulder et al, 2018;Witting et al, 2018), or semisynthesis, such as the use of intein chemistry for Ub(l)ΔG-thioester formation, followed by reaction of this thioester with an amine nucleophile (Hemelaar et al, 2004).…”
