A gene coding for one of the IgG-binding domains of Staphylococcal protein A, designated domain B, was chemically synthesized. This gene was tandemly repeated to give dimeric and tetrameric domain B genes by the use of two restriction enzymes which gave blunt ends. The genes were highly expressed in Escherichia coli to afford a large amount of dimeric and tetrameric domain B proteins. The single domain B protein was efficiently produced as a fusion protein with a salmon growth hormone fragment. The fusion protein was converted to monomeric domain B by cyanogen bromide cleavage. The CD spectra of the monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric domain B proteins were essentially the same as that of native form protein A, showing that their secondary structures were very similar. The dimeric and tetrameric domain B proteins formed precipitates with IgG as protein A. This system permits the efficient production of mutated single and multiple IgG-binding domains which can be used to study structural changes and protein A-immunoglobulin interactions.
