Radiolabeled biomolecules are routinely used for clinical diagnostics. {sup 99m}Tc is the most commonly used radioactive tracer in radiopharmaceuticals. {sup 188}Re and {sup 186}Re are also commonly used as radioactive tracers in medicine. However, currently available methods for radiolabeling are lengthy and involve several steps in bioconjugation processes. In this work we present a strategy to engineer proteins that may selectively recognize the perrhenate (ReO{sub 4}{sup -}) ion as a new way to label proteins. We found that a molybdate (MoO{sub 4}{sup 2-})-binding protein (ModA) from Escherichia coli can bind perrhenate with high affinity. Using fluorescence and isothermal titration calorimetry measurements, we determined the dissociation constant of ModA for ReO{sub 4}{sup -} to be 541 nM and we solved a crystal structure of ModA with a bound ReO{sub 4}{sup -}. On the basis of the structure we created a mutant protein containing a disulfide linkage, which exhibited increased affinity for perrhenate (K{sub d} = 104 nM). High-resolution crystal structures of ModA (1.7 {angstrom}) and A11C/R153C mutant (2.0 {angstrom}) were solved with bound perrhenate. Both structures show that a perrhenate ion occupies the molybdate binding site using the same amino acid residues that are involved in molybdate binding. The overall structure of the perrhenate-bound ModA is unchanged compared with that of the molybdate-bound form. In the mutant protein, the bound perrhenate is further stabilized by the engineered disulfide bond.
