Abstract
Expanding the chemical repertoire of natural and artificial protein-based polymers (PBPs) can enable the production of sequence-defined, yet chemically diverse, biopolymers with customized or new properties that cannot be accessed in PBPs composed of only natural amino acids. Various approaches can enable the expansion of the chemical repertoire of PBPs, including chemical and enzymatic treatments or the incorporation of unnatural amino acids. These techniques are employed to install a wide variety of chemical groups-such as bio-orthogonally reactive, cross-linkable, post-translation modifications, and environmentally responsive groups-which, in turn, can facilitate the design of customized PBP-based drug-delivery systems with modified, fine-tuned, or entirely new properties and functions. Here, we detail the existing and emerging technologies for expanding the chemical repertoire of PBPs and review several chemical groups that either demonstrate or are anticipated to show potential in the design of PBP-based drug delivery systems. Finally, we provide our perspective on the remaining challenges and future directions in this field.

Abstract
cDNA display is an in vitro display technology based on a covalent linkage between a protein and its corresponding mRNA/cDNA, widely used for the selection of proteins and peptides from large libraries (1012) in a high throughput manner, based on their binding affinity. Here, we developed a platform using cDNA display and next-generation sequencing (NGS) for rapid and comprehensive substrate profiling of transglutaminase 2 (TG2), an enzyme crosslinking glutamine and lysine residues in proteins. After screening and selection of the control peptide library randomized at the reactive glutamine, a combinatorial library of displayed peptides randomized at positions - 1, + 1, + 2, and + 3 from the reactive glutamine was screened followed by NGS and bioinformatic analysis, which indicated a strong preference of TG2 towards peptides with glutamine at position - 1 (Gln-Gln motif), and isoleucine or valine at position + 3. The highly enriched peptides indeed contained the indicated sequence and showed a higher reactivity as TG2 substrates than the peptide previously selected by phage display, thus representing the novel candidate peptide probes for TG2 research. Furthermore, the obtained information on substrate profiling can be used to identify potential TG2 protein targets. This platform will be further used for the substrate profiling of other TG isozymes, as well as for the selection and evolution of larger biomolecules.

Abstract
Combinations of antifungal drugs can have synergistic antifungal activity, achieving high therapeutic efficacy while minimizing the side effects. Amphotericin B (AMB) has been used as a standard antifungal drug for fungal infections; however, because of its high toxicity, new strategies to minimize the required dose are desirable. Chitinases have recently received attention as alternative safe antifungal agents. Herein, we report the combination of palmitoylated chitinase domains with AMB to enhance the antifungal activity. The chitin-binding domain (LysM) from Pteris ryukyuensis chitinase was site-specifically palmitoylated by conjugation reaction catalyzed by microbial transglutaminase. The palmitoylated LysM (LysM-Pal) exhibited strong antifungal activity against Trichoderma viride, inhibiting the growth completely at a concentration of 2 μM. This antifungal effect of LysM-Pal was mainly due to the effect of anchoring of palmitic acid motif to the plasma membrane of fungi. A combination of AMB with LysM-Pal resulted in synergistic enhancement of the antifungal activity. Intriguingly, LysM-Pal exhibited higher level of antifungal activity enhancement than palmitoylated catalytic domain (CatD) and fusion of LysM and CatD. Addition of 0.5 μM LysM-Pal to AMB reduced the minimal inhibition concentration of AMB to 0.31 μM (2.5 μM without LysM-Pal). The possible mechanism of the synergistic effect of AMB and LysM-Pal is destabilization of the plasma membrane by anchoring of palmitic acid and ergosterol extraction by AMB and destabilization of the chitin layer by LysM binding. The combination of LysM-Pal with AMB can drastically reduce the dose of AMB and may be a useful strategy to treat fungal infections.

Abstract
A fusion protein comprising an antibody and a cationic peptide, such as arginine-9 (R9), is a candidate molecule for efficient and cell-specific delivery of siRNA into cells in order to reduce the side effects of nucleic acid drugs. However, their expression in bacterial hosts, required for their development, often fails, impeding research progress. In this study, we separately prepared anti-EGFR nanobodies with the K-tag sequence MRHKGS at the C-terminus and R9 with the Q-tag sequence LLQG at the N-terminus, and enzymatically ligated them in vitro by microbial transglutaminase to generate Nanobody-R9, which is not expressed as a fused protein in E. coli. Nanobody-R9 was synthesized at a maximum binding efficiency of 85.1%, without changing the binding affinity of the nanobody for the antigen. Nanobody-R9 successfully delivered siRNA into the cells, and the cellular influx of siRNA increased with increase in the ratio of Nanobody-R9 to siRNA. We further demonstrated that the Nanobody-R9-siRNA complex, at a 30:1 ratio, induced an approximately 58.6% reduction in the amount of target protein due to RNAi in mRNA compared to lipofectamine.

Abstract
Biomimetic design to afford smart functional biomaterials with exquisite properties represents synthetic challenges and provides unique perspectives. In this context, elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) recently became highly attractive building blocks in the development of lipoprotein-based membranes. In addition to the bioengineered post-translational modifications of genetically encoded recombinant ELPs developed so far, we report here a simple and versatile method to design biohybrid brush-like lipid-grafted-ELPs using chemical post-modification reactions. We have explored a combination of methionine alkylation and click chemistry to create a new class of hybrid lipoprotein mimics. Our design allowed the formation of biomimetic vesicles with controlled permeability, correlated to the temperature-responsiveness of ELPs.

Abstract
Site-specific conjugation of proteins is currently required to produce homogenous derivatives for medicine applications. Proteins derivatized at specific positions of the polypeptide chain can actually show higher stability, superior pharmacokinetics, and activity in vivo, as compared with conjugates modified at heterogeneous sites. Moreover, they can be better characterized regarding the composition of the derivatization sites as well as the conformational and activity properties. To this aim, several site-specific derivatization approaches have been developed. Among these, enzymes are powerful tools that efficiently allow the generation of homogenous protein-drug conjugates under physiological conditions, thus preserving their native structure and activity. This review will summarize the progress made over the last decade on the use of enzymatic-based methodologies for the production of site-specific labeled immunoconjugates of interest for nuclear medicine. Enzymes used in this field, including microbial transglutaminase, sortase, galactosyltransferase, and lipoic acid ligase, will be overviewed and their recent applications in the radiopharmaceutical field will be described. Since nuclear medicine can benefit greatly from the production of homogenous derivatives, we hope that this review will aid the use of enzymes for the development of better radio-conjugates for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Synthesis of lipid-protein conjugates is one of the significant techniques in drug delivery systems of proteins; however, the intact conjugation of a lipid and protein is yet challenging due to the hydrophobicity of lipid molecules. In order to facilitate easy handling of the lipid moiety in conjugation, we have focused on a microbial transglutaminase (MTG) that can ligate specific lysine (K) and glutamine (Q) residues in lipopeptides and a protein of interest. As MTG substrates, monolipid- and dilipid-fused amphiphilic short lipopeptide substrates (lipid-G3S-RHK or lipid2-KG3S-RHK) were designed. These amphiphilic lipopeptides and a model protein (enhanced green fluorescent protein, EGFP) fused with LLQG (LQ-EGFP) were both water-soluble, and thus lipid-protein conjugates were efficiently obtained through the MTG reaction with a >80% conversion rate of LQ-EGFP even using cholesterol-G3S-RHK. In vitro cell adhesion and in vivo half-life stability of the successfully obtained lipid-protein conjugates were evaluated, showing that the monocholesterol-G3S-RHK modification of a protein gave the highest cell adhesion efficiency and longest half-life time by formation of a stable albumin/lipid-protein complex.

Abstract
Post-translational modification (PTM) of protein polymers is emerging as a powerful bioinspired strategy to create protein-based hybrid materials with molecularly encoded assembly and function for applications in nanobiotechnology and medicine. While these modifications can be accomplished by harnessing native biological machinery (i.e., enzymes), the evolutionarily programmed specificity of these enzymes (recognition of select substrates and the limited repertoire of ligation chemistries catalyzed by these enzymes) can limit the type and linkage of PTMs appended to proteins. One approach to overcome this limitation is to leverage advances in site-selective biomolecular modification to prepare synthetic mimics of naturally occurring PTMs that are absent in nature. As a proof of concept, we used scalable bio-orthogonal reactions to prepare synthetic mimics of lipidated proteins with tunable assembly and disassembly. Additionally, we demonstrated that our PTM mimicry regulates the stimuli-responsive phase behavior of intrinsically disordered biopolymers, modulates their self-assembly at the nanoscale, and can be used for programmable disassembly of these materials in acidic environments. Synthetic PTM mimicry opens a path to encode new assembly and disassembly capabilities into hybrid materials that cannot be produced via biosynthesis.

Abstract
The recent scientific progresses on the use of enzyme-mediated reactions in organic, non-aqueous and aqueous media have significantly supported the growing demand of new biotechnological and/or pharmacological products. Today, a plethora of microbial enzymes, used as biocatalysts, are available. Among these, microbial transglutaminases (MTGs) are broadly used for their ability to catalyse the formation of an isopeptide bond between the γ-amide group of glutamines and the ε-amino group of lysine. Due to their promiscuity towards primary amine-containing substrates and the more stringent specificity for glutamine-containing peptide sequences, several combined approaches can be tailored for different settings, making MTGs very attractive catalysts for generating protein-protein and protein small molecule's conjugates. The present review offers a recent update on the modifications attainable by MTG-catalysed bioreactions as reported between 2014 and 2019. In particular, we present a detailed and comparative overview on the MTG-based methods for proteins and antibodies engineering, with a particular outlook on the synthesis of homogeneous antibody-drug conjugates.
