Abstract
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used for the process of fermentation as well as for studies in biochemistry and molecular biology as a eukaryotic model cell or tool for the analysis of gene functions. Thus, yeast is essential in industries and researches. Yeast cells have a cell wall, which is one characteristic that helps distinguish yeast cells from other eukaryotic cells such as mammalian cells. We have developed a molecular display system using the protein of the yeast cell wall as an anchor for foreign proteins. Yeast cells have been designed for use in sensing and metal adsorption, and have been used in vaccines and for screening novel proteins. Currently, yeast is used not only as a tool for analyzing gene or protein function but also in molecular display technology. The phage display system, which is at the forefront of molecular display technologies, is a powerful tool for screening ligands bound to a target molecule and for analyzing protein-protein interactions; however, in some cases, eukaryotic proteins are not easily expressed by this system. On the other hand, yeast cells have the ability to express eukaryotic proteins and proliferate; thus, these cells display various proteins. Yeast cells are more appropriate for white biotechnology. In this review, displays of enzymes that are important in bioconversion, such as lipases and β-glucosidases, are going to be introduced.

Display of alpha-amylase on the surface of Corynebacterium glutamicum cells by using NCgl1221 as the anchoring protein, and production of glutamate from starch. Arch Microbiol 2009; 191:751-9. [PMID: 19727672 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-009-0506-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2009] [Revised: 08/15/2009] [Accepted: 08/20/2009] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
We developed a new cell surface display system in Corynebacterium glutamicum based on the C-terminally truncated NCgl1221 anchor protein to increase L-glutamate production from starch directly. The C-terminally truncated NCgl1221 protein is a mutant NCgl1221 and leads to the constitutive export of L-glutamate. The N terminus of alpha-amylase (AmyA) was fused to truncated NCgl1221, and the resulting fusion protein was expressed on the cell surface by IPTG induction. Localization of the fusion protein was confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometric analysis. The results of L-glutamate fermentation showed that the soluble starch was utilized to grow and produce L-glutamate by the recombinant strain displaying AmyA. The amount of soluble starch was reduced from 30.0 +/- 2.8 to 4.5 +/- 0.7 g/l under non-inducing condition and from 50.0 +/- 2.4 to 12.5 +/- 1.1 g/l under biotin limitation in 36 h. The glutamate concentration in the medium was transiently increased in 14 h under no induction, while under biotin-limiting condition, glutamate production was continuously elevated during fermentation. The amount of glutamate reached 19.3 +/- 2.1 g/l after 26 h of fermentation with biotin limitation, which was greater than that produced by the strain using PgsA, one of the poly-gamma-glutamate synthetase complexes, as the anchor protein under the same condition. Therefore, the truncated NCgl1221 anchor protein has more advantages than the PgsA anchor protein in glutamate fermentation because truncated NCgl1221 leads to the constitutive export of L-glutamate without any treatments.

Abstract
Biological libraries are powerful tools for discovery of new ligands as well as for identification of cellular interaction partners. Since the first development of the first biological libraries in form of phage displays, numerous biological libraries have been developed. For the development of new ligands, the usage of synthetic oligonucleotides is the method of choice. Generation of random oligonucleotides has been refined and various strategies for random oligonucleotide design were developed. We trace the progress and design of new strategies for the generation of random oligonucleotides, and include a look at arising diversity biases. On the other hand, genomic libraries are widely employed for investigation of cellular protein-protein interactions and targeted search of proteomic binding partners. Expression of random peptides and proteins in a linear form or integrated in a scaffold can be facilitated both in vitro and in vivo. A typical in vitro system, ribosome display, provides the largest available library size. In vivo methods comprise smaller libraries, the size of which depends on their transformation efficiency. Libraries in different hosts such as phage, bacteria, yeast, insect cells, mammalian cells exhibit higher biosynthetic capabilities. The latest library systems are compared and their strengths and limitations are reviewed.

Abstract
Directed evolution is a term used to describe a variety of related techniques to rapidly evolve peptides and proteins into new forms that exhibit improved properties for specific applications. In this process, molecular biology techniques allow the creation of up to billions of mutants in a single experiment, which are then subjected to high-throughput screening to identify those with enhanced activity. Applications of directed evolution to drug and gene delivery have been recently described, including those that improve the effectiveness of therapeutic enzymes, targeting peptides and antibodies, and the effectiveness or tropism of viral vectors for use in gene therapy. This review first introduces fundamental concepts of directed evolution, and then discusses emerging applications in the field of drug and gene delivery.

Abstract
Hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) from porcine rubulavirus La Piedad Michoacan (RvpLPM) is one of the most antigenic proteins known, and is responsible for virus-host cell interaction. We analyzed the amino acid sequence of HN, using computer-assisted techniques to identify B cell epitopes. From a pool of 18 possible antigenic peptides, we evaluated the antigenicity of the 2 peptides with the highest scores and the 1 with lowest score. Antibodies from RvpLPM-infected pigs recognized the synthesized HN-A, HN-B, and HN-R peptides (optical density [OD]: 0.33 +/- 0.02 for HN-A, 0.20 +/- 0.02 for HN-B, and 0.07 +/- 0.01 for HN-R); bovine serum albumin-coupled HN-A and HN-B induced rabbit anti-RvpLPM antibodies (OD: 0.39 +/- 0.01 for HN-A and 0.35 +/- 0.02 for HN-B). Loop 5 from the outer membrane protein, OmpC, from Salmonella typhi was replaced with HN-B; this protein was then expressed in Escherichia coli UH302. BALB/c mice were challenged intraperitoneally or orogastrically with the fusion protein expressed in E. coli and murine antibodies obtained from both types of administration inhibited virus-hemagglutinating activity, as did the antibodies from RvpLPM-infected swine. These results suggest that HN-A and HN-B are peptides involved in RvpLPM cell carbohydrate recognition, and could therefore be considered potential targets for vaccine and diagnostic procedures development.

Abstract
Display of heterologous proteins on the surface of microorganisms, enabled by means of recombinant DNA technology, has become an increasingly used strategy in various applications in microbiology, biotechnology and vaccinology. Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria, viruses and phages are all being investigated in such applications. This review will focus on the bacterial display systems and applications. Live bacterial vaccine delivery vehicles are being developed through the surface display of foreign antigens on the bacterial surfaces. In this field, 'second generation' vaccine delivery vehicles are at present being generated by the addition of mucosal targeting signals, through co-display of adhesins, in order to achieve targeting of the live bacteria to immunoreactive sites to thereby increase immune responses. Engineered bacteria are further being evaluated as novel microbial biocatalysts with heterologous enzymes immobilized as surface exposed on the bacterial cell surface. A discussion has started whether bacteria can find use as new types of whole-cell diagnostic devices since single-chain antibodies and other type of tailor-made binding proteins can be displayed on bacteria. Bacteria with increased binding capacity for certain metal ions can be created and potential environmental or biosensor applications for such recombinant bacteria as biosorbents are being discussed. Certain bacteria have also been employed for display of various poly-peptide libraries for use as devices in in vitro selection applications. Through various selection principles, individual clones with desired properties can be selected from such libraries. This article explains the basic principles of the different bacterial display systems, and discusses current uses and possible future trends of these emerging technologies.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of surface-display vectors for displaying polypeptides on the surface of bacteriophage and bacteria, combined with in vitro selection technologies, has transformed the way in which we generate and manipulate ligands, such as enzymes, antibodies and peptides. Phage display is based on expressing recombinant proteins or peptides fused to a phage coat protein. Bacterial display is based on expressing recombinant proteins fused to sorting signals that direct their incorporation on the cell surface. In both systems, the genetic information encoding for the displayed molecule is physically linked to its product via the displaying particle. Using these two complementary technologies, we are now able to design repertoires of ligands from scratch and use the power of affinity selection to select those ligands having the desired (biological) properties from a large excess of irrelevant ones. With phage display, tailor-made proteins (fused peptides, antibodies, enzymes, DNA-binding proteins) may be synthesized and selected to acquire the desired catalytic properties or affinity of binding and specificity for in vitro and in vivo diagnosis, for immunotherapy of human disease or for biocatalysis. Bacterial surface display has found a range of applications in the expression of various antigenic determinants, heterologous enzymes, single-chain antibodies, and combinatorial peptide libraries. This review explains the basis of phage and bacterial surface display and discusses the contributions made by these two leading technologies to biotechnological applications. This review focuses mainly on three areas where phage and cell display have had the greatest impact, namely, antibody engineering, enzyme technology and vaccine development.

Abstract
Knowing the sequence of a gene does not mean knowing its function. Although, information stored at the DNA level can be used to predict biological processes, proteins are the final executors of the various response programs of a cell. Transient information, like posttranslational modifications or interactions among proteins, cannot be deduced from DNA sequences. The rapid accumulation of large amounts of DNA sequence data in genomics projects has led to an increasing demand for powerful tools to analyze proteins and their behaviour at a large scale. This review aims to compare different technologies used for identification of interacting proteins and discusses recent developments in the field of high-throughput protein-protein interaction mapping.

Abstract
We have developed a recombinant live oral vaccine using the ice-nucleation protein (Inp) from Pseudomonas syringae to display viral antigens on the surface of Salmonella spp. Fusion proteins containing viral antigens were expressed in the oral vaccine strain, Salmonella typhi Ty21a. Surface localization was verified by immunoblotting and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The immunogenicity of surface-displayed viral antigens on the recombinant live vaccine strain was assessed in mice inoculated intranasally and intraperitoneally. Inoculation resulted in significantly higher serum antibody level than those induced by viral antigens expressed intracellularly. Thus, this multivalent mucosal live vaccine may provide an effective means for inducing mucosal or systemic immune responses against multiple viral antigens.

Abstract
OmpS is an outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae where it forms trimeric pores that function in the uptake of maltose and maltodextrins. Based on sequence similarity to LamB proteins, a model of OmpS folding in the outer membrane has been constructed. According to this model, OmpS contains 18 transmembrane beta-strands and nine surface-accessible loops. Adhesive epitopes can, when inserted into surface-accessible loop 4 (L4) and expressed in Escherichia coli, retain their functional characteristics. We inserted three D-repeats from the Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin-binding protein FnBPA into L4 of OmpS and showed that E. coli cells expressing these hybrids bind fibronectin. DNA fragments covering the N-terminal half of the globoside-binding P-fimbrial adhesin class II PapG of E. coli were cloned into the same surface accessible loop (L4) of OmpS. Fragments of papG encoding 53 or 186 amino acids from the N-terminal end of class II PapG adhesin were found to confer bacterial adhesiveness to globoside. Removal of 23 amino acids from the N-terminus of PapG did not affect receptor binding, but removal of 31 amino acids abolished it. The newly developed night sky image technique was also used to demonstrate the binding properties of membrane vesicles carrying the hybrid proteins. We raised antibodies against the purified hybrid protein containing 53 amino acids from PapG. This antiserum recognized the P-fimbriae on E. coli cells. These data provide evidence that the N-terminal first 53 amino acids of class II PapG contain the receptor-binding domain.

Abstract
Metal binding peptides of sequences Gly-His-His-Pro-His-Gly (named HP) and Gly-Cys-Gly-Cys-Pro-Cys-Gly-Cys-Gly (named CP) were genetically engineered into LamB protein and expressed in Escherichia coli. The Cd2+-to-HP and Cd2+-to-CP stoichiometries of peptides were 1:1 and 3:1, respectively. Hybrid LamB proteins were found to be properly folded in the outer membrane of E. coli. Isolated cell envelopes of E. coli bearing newly added metal binding peptides showed an up to 1.8-fold increase in Cd2+ binding capacity. The bioaccumulation of Cd2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ by E. coli was evaluated. Surface display of CP multiplied the ability of E. coli to bind Cd2+ from growth medium fourfold. Display of HP peptide did not contribute to an increase in the accumulation of Cu2+ and Zn2+. However, Cu2+ ceased contribution of HP for Cd2+ accumulation, probably due to the strong binding of Cu2+ to HP. Thus, considering the cooperation of cell structures with inserted peptides, the relative affinities of metal binding peptide and, for example, the cell wall to metal ion should be taken into account in the rational design of peptide sequences possessing specificity for a particular metal.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida major outer membrane protein (OmpH) has been previously characterized as a porin. The native OmpH from strain X-73 (serotype 1) but not recombinant protein from Escherichia coli induced homologous protection in chickens. In this study OmpH sequences from 15 P. multocida serotypes as well as the CU vaccine strain were compared by sequence alignment and revealed high homology, with major variations confined to two discrete regions which were correspondingly predicted as two largest external loops. Secondary structures of OmpHs were predicted by sequence alignment of OmpHs with well defined porins and analyses of amphiphilicity, hydrophobic moment and antigenic index plots. Several synthetic peptides derived from predicted loop 2 and loop 5 of X-73 OmpH were synthesized as vaccine candidates. Vaccination studies in chickens showed that the cyclic synthetic peptide (Cyclic-L2) mimicking the predicted loop 2 induced 70% protection in chickens against strain X-73 challenge. This is the first report that a synthetic peptide mimicking the conformational epitopes of a native protein provide practical protection in target animal against bacterial infection.

Abstract
Phage antibodies have been widely prospected as an alternative to the use of monoclonal antibodies prepared by traditional means. Many monoclonal antibodies prepared against peptides are able to recognise the native proteins from which they were derived. Here we show that the same is also true for phage antibodies. We have selected a number of single-chain variable fragments (scFv) from a large phage scFv library against a peptide from the switch region II of p21Ras. This peptide is known to reside in a mobile area of the native protein and is the epitope of a well characterised monoclonal antibody. Selected scFvs were able to recognise native p21Ras in both ELISA and Western blots, indicating that peptides are also likely to be very useful in selecting from phage antibody libraries.

Abstract
Yeast (CUP1) and mammalian (HMT-1A) metallothioneins (MTs) have been efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli as fusions to the outer membrane protein LamB. A 65-amino-acid sequence from the CUP1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast [Y] MT) was genetically inserted in permissive site 153 of the LamB sequence, which faces the outer medium. A second LamB fusion at position 153 was created with 66 amino acids recruited from the form of human (H) MT that is predominant in the adipose tissue, HMT-1A. Both LamB153-YMT and LamB153-HMT hybrids were produced in vivo as full-length proteins, without any indication of instability or proteolytic degradation. Each of the two fusion proteins was functional as the port of entry of lambda phage variants, suggesting maintenance of the overall topology of the wild-type LamB. Expression of the hybrid proteins in vivo multiplied the natural ability of E. coli cells to bind Cd2+ 15- to 20-fold, in good correlation with the number of metal-binding centers contributed by the MT moiety of the fusions.

Abstract
Heterologous surface display on Gram-negative bacterial was first described a decade ago and is now an active research area. More recently, strategies for surface display on Gram-positive bacterial have also been devised and these carry some inherent advantages. Bacterial surface display has found a range of applications in the expression of various antigenic determinants, heterologous enzymes, single-chain antibodies, polyhistidyl tags and even entire peptide libraries. This article explains the basis of bacterial surface display and discusses current uses and possible future trends of this emerging technology.

Abstract
In recent years there has been considerable progress towards the development of expression systems for the display of heterologous polypeptides and, to a lesser extent, oligosaccharides on the surface of bacteria or yeast. The availability of protein display vectors has in turn provided the impetus for a range of exciting technologies. Polypeptide libraries can be displayed in bacteria and screened by cell sorting techniques, thus simplifying the isolation of proteins with high affinity for ligands. Expression of antigens on the surface of nonvirulent microorganisms is an attractive approach to the development of high-efficacy recombinant live vaccines. Finally, cells displaying protein receptors or antibodies are of use for analytical applications and bioseparations.

Abstract
The properties of Escherichia coli cells, acquired by cell surface presentation of one or two hexahistidine (His) clusters carried by the outer membrane LamB protein, have been examined. Strains producing LamB hybrids with the His chains accumulated greater than 11-fold more Cd2+ than E. coli cells expressing the protein without the His insert. Furthermore, the hexa-His chains on the cell surface caused cells to adhere reversibly to a Ni(2+)-containing solid matrix in a metal-dependent fashion. Thus, expression of poly-His peptides enables bacteria to act as a metalloaffinity adsorbent. These results open up the possibility for biosorption of heavy ions using engineered microorganisms.

Abstract
The Lpp'OmpA(46-159) hybrid protein can serve as an efficient targeting vehicle for localizing a variety of procaryotic and eucaryotic soluble proteins onto the E. coli surface, thus providing a system for several possible biotechnology applications. Here we show that fusion between Lpp'OmpA(46-159) and bacterial alkaline phosphatase (PhoA), a normally periplasmic dimeric enzyme, are also targeted to the outer membrane. However, protease accessibility experiments and immunoelectron microscopy revealed that, unlike other periplasmic proteins, the PhoA domain of these fusions is not exposed on the cell surface in cells having an intact outer membrane. Conditions that affect the formation of disulfide bonds and the folding of the PhoA domain in the periplasm not only did not facilitate targeting to the cell surface but led to lethality when the fusion was expressed from a high-copy-number plasmid. Furthermore, E. coli expressing the Lpp'OmpA(46-159)-PhoA fusion exhibited strain- and temperature-dependent alterations in outer-membrane permeability. Our results are consistent with previous studies with other vehicles indicating that PhoA is not displayed on the surface when fused to cell-surface expression vectors. Presumably, the enzyme rapidly assumes a tightly folded dimeric conformation that cannot be transported across the outer membrane. The large size and quaternary structure of PhoA may define a limitation of the Lpp'OmpA(46-159) fusion system for the display of periplasmic proteins on the cell surface. Alkaline phosphatase is a unique protein among a group of five periplasmic proteins (beta-lactamase, alkaline phosphatase, Cex cellulase Cex cellulose-binding domain, and a single-chain Fv antibody fragment), which have been tested as passengers for the Lpp'OmpA(46-159) expression system to date, since it was the only protein not displayed on the surface.

Abstract
OprF, the major outer membrane (OM) protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has been proposed to be comprised of a series of beta-strands separated by periplasmic or surface-exposed loop regions. In this study, a simple malarial epitope was used to demonstrate that OprF can be used as an expression vector to present foreign peptide sequences, namely, the 4-amino-acid (aa) repeating epitope (Asn-Ala-Asn-Pro = NANP) of the circumsporozoite protein of the human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Eight permissive sites, that allowed the expression and surface exposure of the malarial epitope, were identified throughout OprF. Using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the malarial epitope, we investigated the effects of positioning and length of the epitope on its antigenicity in the OprF expression vector system. It was demonstrated that the malarial epitope inserted at aa26 was significantly more reactive with the epitope-specific mAb (i.e., more antigenic) when assayed in the context of whole cells whereas those at aa213 and aa290 were more antigenic when assayed in the OM. The malarial epitope inserted at aa188 and aa196 was moderately antigenic, while this epitope inserted at aa215 and aa310 showed low antigenicity with the same mAb in both whole cell and OM assays. For two insertion sites, aa26 and aa213, we demonstrated that the insertion of multiple copies of the epitope enhanced reactivity with the malarial epitope-specific mAb. These data are discussed with respect to the local OprF sequences into which the epitope was inserted.

Abstract
A novel expression system for surface display of heterologous proteins on Staphylococcus carnosus cells has been developed. Taking advantage of the promoter and secretion signals, including a propeptide region, from the lipase gene of Staphylococcus hyicus and the cell wall-spanning and membrane-binding region of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus, efficient surface display of an 80-amino-acid peptide from a malaria blood stage antigen could be achieved. A serum albumin binding protein from streptococcal protein G was used both as a general reporter molecule and to increase the accessibility of the surface-displayed proteins. Immunoblotting, immunogold staining, and immunofluorescence on intact recombinant S. carnosus cells verified the presence of the propeptide, the malaria antigen, and the albumin-binding reporter protein on the bacterial surface. For the first time, fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to analyze the presence of surface-displayed hybrid receptors on gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract
The expression of recombinant proteins on the external surface of Gram-negative bacteria is expected to open the way for a number of significant biotechnological applications, including the development of live bacterial vaccines, the production of whole cell adsorbents, the preparation of whole cell catalysts, and the display and selection of peptide and antibody libraries. We have developed a fusion protein system for the production of active recombinant proteins on the surface of Escherichia coli. Using this system we have expressed beta-lactamase, the Cellulomonas fimi exoglucanase Cex as well as its cellulose binding domain, and an antidigoxin single chain Fv antibody fragment on the cell surface. Recently we have begun to explore some of the potential applications for cell-surface expression.

Abstract
During the past three to four years, remarkable progress has been made in our understanding of protein folding, protein translocation across biological membranes, and the role of molecular chaperones in these processes. In conjunction with recent developments in Escherichia coli expression systems, this understanding has led to an improved capability to accumulate proteins in a soluble form, secrete proteins from the cell cytoplasm, accumulate proteins in the cytoplasmic membrane, and direct proteins to the outer membrane of the cell for surface display. These advances suggest that E. coli should now be considered seriously for applications that, only a few years ago, would have been thought beyond the scope of this organism.

Abstract
Significant advances have been made recently in technology to construct and screen peptide libraries using biological systems. Progress has been achieved in increasing the size of libraries, in controlling affinity of the peptides isolated, and in understanding the constraints imposed by the biology of the expression systems employed. New receptor ligands and substrates for peptide-modifying enzymes have been isolated using these powerful techniques.

Abstract
Here we demonstrate that it is possible to confront two recombinant microorganisms in order to select one using the other. We have shown that an epitope derived from p21ras expressed within the outer membrane protein, LamB, can be recognized both by the monoclonal antibody Y13-259, as well as the single chain Fv fragment derived from it. This specificity, which is maintained when the Y13-259 single chain Fv is expressed as a fusion protein with the phage fd gene 3 protein, has allowed us to use the living column of LamB-ras to purify Y13-259 phage from a background of non-binding phage, even at dilutions as high as 10 phage in 10(10) irrelevant phage.
