Abstract: Variants of the transglutaminase enzyme of Streptomyces mobaraensis are provided. The disclosed variants exhibit at least about 2-fold increased enzymatic activity versus the wild-type enzyme. Methods and compositions are provided for biocidal applications of use and for covalently binding small organic molecules to a protein or material of interest. Methods are provided for increasing the self-life of products, such as personal care, household and industrial products, by incorporating an effective amount of the disclosed variant enzymes into the product. The transglutaminase variants may also be used to covalently bind functional ingredients, such as UV-blocking molecules, dyes, or pigments to proteins. The transglutaminase enzymes and functional ingredients may be incorporated into a cosmetic formulation for modifying skin, hair, or nail proteins or skin-derived proteins, such as collagen, keratin, and/or elastin.

Abstract: High throughput cell free protein synthesis methods and systems are provided for expression of active, mature enzymes and proteins derived from zymogens and proproteins. Zymogens and proproteins are expressed in their mature, active form in a cell free expression system, without cleavage of a pro-sequence to produce the active polypeptide.

Abstract: Sunscreen compositions and sunscreen active ingredients are disclosed herein which comprise at least one ketone-containing UV filter and at least one primary or secondary amine wherein at least one ketone-containing UV filter and at least one primary or secondary amine react to form an imine analog of the ketone-containing UV filter wherein the imine analog has at least one property selected from the group consisting of a) is capable of extending UV protection into a visible region equal to or greater than 400 nm, b) is water resistant, and/or c) prevents or decreases skin penetration. This imine analog may be further modified to provide a substrate capable of reacting with transglutaminase or any variant thereof and/or a lysyl oxidase to bind the sunscreen composition or sunscreen active ingredient to a target of interest.
