15. An aldehyde-tagged carrier protein comprising an amino acid sequence comprising:
-
X1Z1X2Z2X3Z3
(I)where Z1 is a cysteine, a serine, or a 2-formylglycine residue; Z2 is a proline or alanine residue; X1 is present or absent and, when present, is any amino acid, with the proviso that when the heterologous sulfatase motif is at an N-terminus of the aldehyde tagged polypeptide, X1 is present; and X2 and X3 are each independently any amino acid; and Z3 is a basic amino acid; wherein the carrier protein presents the covalently bound drug on a solvent-accessible surface when in a folded state. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
wherein the drug is provided in the reaction mixture in an amount sufficient to provide for a desired ratio of drug to carrier protein, said combining being under conditions suitable to promote reaction between an aldehyde of the carrier protein and reactive group of the drug to generate a carrier protein-drug conjugate; - and isolating the carrier protein-drug conjugate from the reaction mixture.
