A systematic review about affinity tags for one-step purification and immobilization of recombinant proteins: integrated bioprocesses aiming both economic and environmental sustainability. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:186. [PMID: 37193330 PMCID: PMC10182917 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03616-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study reviewed and discussed the promising affinity tags for one-step purification and immobilization of recombinant proteins. The approach used to structure this systematic review was The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) methodology. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were used to perform the bibliographic survey by which 267 articles were selected. After the inclusion/exclusion criteria and the screening process, from 25 chosen documents, we identified 7 types of tags used in the last 10 years, carbohydrate-binding module tag (CBM), polyhistidine (His-tag), elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs), silaffin-3-derived pentalysine cluster (Sil3k tag), N-acetylmuramidase (AcmA tag), modified haloalkane dehalogenase (HaloTag®), and aldehyde from a lipase polypeptide (Aldehyde tag). The most used bacterial host for expressing the targeted protein was Escherichia coli and the most used expression vector was pET-28a. The results demonstrated two main immobilization and purification methods: the use of supports and the use of self-aggregating tags without the need of support, depending on the tag used. Besides, the chosen terminal for cloning the tag proved to be very important once it could alter enzyme activity. In conclusion, the best tag for protein one-step purification and immobilization was CBM tag, due to the eco-friendly supports that can be provided from industry wastes, the fast immobilization with high specificity, and the reduced cost of the process.

Enzyme Microb Technol 2023; 164:110169. [PMID: 36508943 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2022.110169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Surface functioned magnetic silica particles are efficient carriers to achieve facilitated separation and recycling of biocatalysts. However, traditional methods of modifying magnetic silica particles required time-costly sequential coating and surface modification steps and toxic solvents. Herein, a green and efficient routine was proposed to prepare the surface modified silica-coated magnetic microspheres (SCEs@SiO2 @Fe3O4) in one-pot. The elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs)-SpyCatcher chimera (SCEs) were purified by inverse transition cycling with high yield (275 mg/L) and incorporated into the magnetic silica spheres based on the biomimetic silicification capability of ELPs as proved by the EDS and SEM mapping. No SCEs leaked was observed within 48 h, indicating excellent stability in buffer. Then, the biofunctionalized carriers were used to purify and immobilize the target dual enzymes (xylanase-linker-SpyTag-linker-lichenase, bienzymes) directly from the crude cell lysis solution by the spontaneous isopeptide bond reaction between SpyCatcher and SpyTag. The immobilized bienzymes were sphere-like magnetic silica particles with uniform size, which had good magnetic responsiveness. The immobilization yield, immobilization efficiency and activity recovery for xylanase were 86%, 84 % and 72 %, while for lichenase was 92 %, 86 % and 79 %, respectively. Besides, the immobilized bienzymes showed good reusability (>60 %, 10 times for xylanase, >95 %, 8 times for lichenase). The SCEs modified silica-coated magnetic microspheres are expected to provide versatile platforms for single-step of purification and immobilization of multienzymes, offering great potentials in the field of biocatalysis.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based diagnostics have emerged as next-generation molecular diagnostics. In CRISPR-based diagnostics, Cas12 and Cas13 proteins have been widely employed to detect DNA and RNA, respectively. Herein, we developed a novel hybrid Cas protein capable of detecting universal nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The CRISPR/hybrid Cas system simultaneously recognizes both DNA and RNA, enabling the dual detection of pathogenic viruses in a single tube. Using wild-type (WT) and N501Y mutant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as detection models, we successfully detected both virus strains with a detection limit of 10 viral copies per reaction without cross-reactivity. Furthermore, it is demonstrated the detection of WT SARS-CoV-2 and N501Y mutant variants in clinical samples by using the CRISPR/hybrid Cas system. The hybrid Cas protein is expected to be utilized in a molecular diagnostic method for infectious diseases, tissue and liquid biopsies, and other nucleic acid biomarkers.

The synergism of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases with lichenase and their co-immobilization on silica nanospheres for green conversion of lichen biomass. Front Nutr 2022; 9:970540.

Abstract
Enzyme-assisted valorization of lichenan represents a green and sustainable alternative to the conventional chemical industry. The recently discovered lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are essential components of state-of-the-art enzyme cocktails for lichenin bioconversion. The LPMOs named SpyTag fused LPMOs (AST) from Chaetomium globosum was functionally expressed in E. coli and exhibited 1.25-fold synergism with lichenase, whereas AST alone produced no detectable reducing sugars. HPLC results further confirm that AST does not alter the endogenous hydrolysis mode of lichenase but rather enhances its hydrolysis efficiency by disrupting the long chain of lichenan and releasing more reducing ends. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first report on the synergistic effect of LPMOs and lichenase, which may have great synergistic potential in the conversion of lichen biomass. Furthermore, a novel strategy for the covalently immobilizing AST and lichenase on silica nanoparticles (SNPs) from the cell lysate in a single step was proposed, which exhibited high activity recovery (82.9%) and high immobilization yield (94.8%). After 12 independent runs, about 67.4 % of the initial activity of the immobilized enzymes was retained. The resulted biocatalyst systems exhibited the green and sustainable strategy in the bioconversion of lichen biomass as well as other diverse polysaccharides.

Heterologous Expression of Thermotolerant α-Glucosidase in Bacillus subtilis 168 and Improving Its Thermal Stability by Constructing Cyclized Proteins. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
α-glucosidase is an essential enzyme for the production of isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs). Allowing α-glucosidase to operate at higher temperatures (above 60 °C) has many advantages, including reducing the viscosity of the reaction solution, enhancing the catalytic reaction rate, and achieving continuous production of IMOs. In the present study, the thermal stability of α-glucosidase was significantly improved by constructing cyclized proteins. We screened a thermotolerant α-glucosidase (AGL) with high transglycosylation activity from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus JW200 and heterologously expressed it in Bacillus subtilis 168. After forming the cyclized α-glucosidase by different isopeptide bonds (SpyTag/SpyCatcher, SnoopTag/SnoopCatcher, SdyTag/SdyCatcher, RIAD/RIDD), we determined the enzymatic properties of cyclized AGL. The optimal temperature of all cyclized AGL was increased by 5 °C, and their thermal stability was generally improved, with SpyTag-AGL-SpyCatcher having a 1.74-fold increase compared to the wild-type. The results of molecular dynamics simulations showed that the RMSF values of cyclized AGL decreased, indicating that the rigidity of the cyclized protein increased. This study provides an efficient method for improving the thermal stability of α-glucosidase.

Abstract
The production of Cry3Aa enzyme fusion crystals in Bacillus thuringiensis provides a direct method to immobilize individual enzymes and thereby improve their stability and recyclability. Nevertheless, many reactions require multiple enzymes to produce a desired product; thus a general strategy was developed to extend our Cry3Aa technology to multienzyme coimmobilization. Here, we report the direct production of particles comprising a modified Cry3Aa (Cry3Aa*) fused to SpyCatcher002 (Cry3Aa*SpyCat2) for coimmobilization of model enzymes MenF, MenD, and MenH associated with the biosynthesis of menaquinone. The resultant coimmobilized particles showed improved reaction rates compared to free enzymes presumably due to the higher local enzyme substrate concentrations and enhanced enzyme coupling made possible by colocalization. Furthermore, coimmobilization of these enzymes on Cry3Aa*SpyCat2 led to increased thermal stability and recyclability of the overall multienzyme system. These characteristics together with its overall simplicity of production highlight the benefits of Cry3Aa*SpyCat2 crystals as a platform for enzyme coimmobilization.

Abstract
The synthesis of complex molecules using multiple enzymes simultaneously in one reaction vessel has rapidly emerged as a new frontier in the field of bioprocess technology. However, operating different enzymes together in a single vessel limits their operational performance which needs to be addressed. With this respect, scaffolding proteins play an immense role in bringing different enzymes together in a specific manner. The scaffolding improves the catalytic performance, enzyme stability and provides an optimal micro-environment for biochemical reactions. This review describes the components of protein scaffolds, different ways of constructing a protein scaffold-based multi-enzyme complex, and their effects on enzyme kinetics. Moreover, different conjugation strategies viz; dockerin-cohesin interaction, SpyTag-SpyCatcher system, peptide linker-based ligation, affibody, and sortase-mediated ligation are discussed in detail. Various analytical and characterization tools that have enabled the development of these scaffolding strategies are also reviewed. Such mega-enzyme complexes promise wider applications in the field of biotechnology and bioengineering.

Abstract
In this study, curdlan-based and calcium ion (Ca2+)-chelated magnetic microspheres (CCMM) were prepared for protein purification and oriented immobilization. Additional purification steps before immobilization were not required. CCMM samples were produced by reverse embedding of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with curdlan and chelated with Ca2+ in the presence of iminodiacetic acid. The β-xylanase XynII from Trichoderma reesei QM6a was used to investigate the efficiency of CCMM preparation. The resulting CCMM-XynII was found to be very stable, showing 82 % and 60 % of initial activities after storage for 35 days and after being assayed ten times, respectively. In addition, the CCMM-XynII showed higher stabilities in the presence of organic solvents and multiple chemicals than the free XynII, suggesting that the CCMM-XynII could be efficient for applications requiring the presence of organic solvents. In addition, CCMM may be more suitable than commercially available Ni-NTA for purification of proteins intolerant of Ni2+.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exploring a simple and versatile technique for direct immobilization of target enzymes from cell lysate without prior purification is urgently needed. Thus, a novel all-in-one strategy for purification and immobilization of β-1,3-xylanase was proposed, the target enzymes were covalently immobilized on silica nanoparticles via elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs)-based biomimetic silicification and SpyTag/SpyCatcher spontaneous reaction. Thus, the functional carriers that did not require the time-consuming surface modification step were quickly and efficiently prepared. These carriers could specifically immobilize the SpyTag-fused target enzymes from the cell lysate without pre-purification. RESULTS The ELPs-SpyCatcher hardly leaked from the carriers (0.5%), and the immobilization yield of enzyme was up to 96%. Immobilized enzyme retained 85.6% of the initial activity and showed 88.6% of the activity recovery. Compared with free ones, the immobilized β-1,3-xylanase showed improved thermal stability, elevated storage stability and good pH tolerance. It also retained more than 70.6% of initial activity after 12 reaction cycles, demonstrating its excellent reusability. CONCLUSIONS The results clearly highlighted the effectiveness of the novel enzyme immobilization method proposed here due to the improvement of overall performance of immobilized enzyme in respect to free form for the hydrolysis of macromolecular substrates. Thus, it may have great potential in the conversion of algae biomass as well as other related fields.

Abstract
Proteins span an extraordinary range of shapes, sizes and functionalities. Therefore generic approaches are needed to overcome this diversity and stream-line protein analysis or application. Here we review SpyTag technology, now used in hundreds of publications or patents, and its potential for detecting and controlling protein behaviour. SpyTag forms a spontaneous and irreversible isopeptide bond upon binding its protein partner SpyCatcher, where both parts are genetically-encoded. New variants of this pair allow reaction at a rate approaching the diffusion limit, while reversible versions allow purification of SpyTagged proteins or tuned dynamic interaction inside cells. Anchoring of SpyTag-linked proteins has been established to diverse nanoparticles or surfaces, including gold, graphene and the air/water interface. SpyTag/SpyCatcher is mechanically stable, so is widely used for investigating protein folding and force sensitivity. A toolbox of scaffolds allows SpyTag-fusions to be assembled into defined multimers, from dimers to 180-mers, or unlimited 1D, 2D or 3D networks. Icosahedral multimers are being evaluated for vaccination against malaria, HIV and cancer. For enzymes, Spy technology has increased resilience, promoted substrate channelling, and assembled hydrogels for continuous flow biocatalysis. Combinatorial increase in functionality has been achieved through modular derivatisation of antibodies, light-emitting diodes or viral vectors. In living cells, SpyTag allowed imaging of protein trafficking, retargeting of CAR-T cell killing, investigation of heart contraction, and control of nucleosome position. The simple genetic encoding and rapid irreversible reaction provide diverse opportunities to enhance protein function. We describe limitations as well as future directions.

Abstract
Exploitation of enzymes in biocatalytic processes provides scope both in the synthesis and degradation of molecules. Enzymes have power not only in their catalytic efficiency, but their chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity means the reactions they catalyze are precise and reproducible. Focusing on carbohydrate processing enzymes, this review covers advances in biocatalysis involving carbohydrates over the last 2-3 years. Given the notorious difficulties in the chemical synthesis of carbohydrates, the use of enzymes for synthesis has potential for significant impact in the future. The use of catabolic enzymes in the degradation of biomass, which can be exploited in the production of biofuels to provide a sustainable and greener source of energy, and the synthesis of molecules that have a range of applications including in the pharmaceutical and food industries will be explored.
