Targeted protein degradation through site-specific antibody conjugation with mannose 6-phosphate glycan by Kaori Mukai, Robert Cost, Xin Sheen Zhang, Emily Condiff, Joanne Cotton, Xiaohua Liu, Ekaterina Boudanova, Björn Niebel, Peter Piepenhagen, Xinming Cai, Anna Park, Qun Zhou

“…This mutant without any effector function was generated by switching the native glycosylation site from position 297 to 298 converting non-sialylated structures to highly sialylated N-glycans. The sialic acid of the glycans attached to Asn298 in the engineered antibody was selectively conjugated to bisM6P without chemoenzymatic modification, which is often used for site-specific antibody conjugation through glycans. …”
