Abstract
Calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) has become the novel target of treating osteoporosis with herbal medicine Ligustri Lucidi Fructus (LLF), however, the bioactive compounds responsible for anti-osteoporosis are hard to clarify due to the complexity and diversity of chemical constituents in it. Herein, the immobilized CaSR column was packed with stationary phase materials, which were derived from integrating CLIP-tagged CaSR directly out of crude cell lysates onto the surface of silica gels (5.83 mg/g) in a site-specific covalent manner. The column had a great specificity of recognizing agonists and kept a good stability for at least 3 weeks. The two compounds from LLF extract were screened and identified as olenuezhenoside and ligustroflavone using the immobilized CaSR column in conjunction with mass spectrometry. Molecular docking predicted that both compounds were bound in venus flytrap (VFT) domain of CaSR by the formation of hydrogen bonds. Cellular results showed that both compounds exhibited the distinct osteogenic activity by enhancing the proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of osteoblastic cells. Our study demonstrated that, the immobilized protein column enables to screen the bioactive compounds rapidly from herbal extract, and the newly discovered natural product ligands towards CaSR, including olenuezhenoside and ligustroflavone, will be the candidates for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
This review shows the endeavors performed to prepare immobilized formulations of bromelain extract, usually from pineapple, and their use in diverse applications. This extract has a potent proteolytic component that is based on thiol proteases, which differ depending on the location on the fruit. Stem and fruit are the areas where higher activity is found. The edible origin of this enzyme is one of the features that determines the applications of the immobilized bromelain to a more significant degree. The enzyme has been immobilized on a wide diversity of supports via different strategies (covalent bonds, ion exchange), and also forming ex novo solids (nanoflowers, CLEAs, trapping in alginate beads, etc.). The use of preexisting nanoparticles as immobilization supports is relevant, as this facilitates one of the main applications of the immobilized enzyme, in therapeutic applications (as wound dressing and healing components, antibacterial or anticancer, mucus mobility control, etc.). A curiosity is the immobilization of this enzyme on spores of probiotic microorganisms via adsorption, in order to have a perfect in vivo compatibility. Other outstanding applications of the immobilized enzyme are in the stabilization of wine versus haze during storage, mainly when immobilized on chitosan. Curiously, the immobilized bromelain has been scarcely applied in the production of bioactive peptides.

Abstract
Clinical use of polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering often suffers from their inability to promote strong cellular interactions. Functionalization with biomolecules may improve outcomes; however, current functionalization approaches using covalent chemistry or physical adsorption can lead to loss of biomolecule bioactivity. Here, we demonstrate a novel bottom-up approach for enhancing the bioactivity of poly(l-lactic acid) electrospun scaffolds though interfacial coassembly of protein payloads with silk fibroin into nanothin coatings. In our approach, protein payloads are first added into an aqueous solution with Bombyx mori-derived silk fibroin. Phosphate anions are then added to trigger coassembly of the payload and silk fibroin, as well as noncovalent formation of a payload-silk fibroin coating at poly(l-lactic) acid fiber surfaces. Importantly, the coassembly process results in homogeneous distribution of protein payloads, with the loading quantity depending on payload concentration in solution and coating time. This coassembly process yields greater loading capacity than physical adsorption methods, and the payloads can be released over time in physiologically relevant conditions. We also demonstrate that the coating coassembly process can incorporate nerve growth factor and that coassembled coatings lead to significantly more neurite extension than loading via adsorption in a rat dorsal root ganglia explant culture model.

Abstract
Acylases catalyze the hydrolysis of amide bonds. Penicillin G acylase (PGA) is used for the semi-synthesis of penicillins and cephalosporins. Although protein immobilization increases enzyme stability, the design of immobilized systems is difficult and usually it is empirically performed. We describe a novel application of our strategy for the Rational Design of Immobilized Derivatives (RDID) to produce optimized acylase-based immobilized biocatalysts for enzymatic bioconversion. We studied the covalent immobilization of the porcine kidney aminoacylase-1 onto aldehyde-based supports. Predictions of the RDID1.0 software and the experimental results led to the selection of glyoxyl-Sepharose CL 4B support and pH 10.0. One of the predicted clusters of reactive amino groups generates an enzyme-support configuration with highly accessible active sites, contributing with 82% of the biocatalyst's total activity. For Escherichia coli PGA, the predictions and experimental results show similar maximal amounts of immobilized protein and activity at pH 8.0 and 10.0 on glyoxyl-Sepharose CL 10B. However, thermal stability of the immobilized derivative is higher at pH 10.0 due to an elevated probability of multipoint covalent attachment. In this case, two clusters of amino groups are predicted to be relevant for PGA immobilization in catalytically competent configurations at pH 10.0, showing accessible active sites and contributing with 36% and 44% of the total activity, respectively. Our results support the usefulness of the RDID strategy to model different protein engineering approaches (site-directed mutagenesis or obtainment of fusion proteins) and select the most promising ones, saving time and laboratory work, since the in silico-designed modified proteins could have higher probabilities of success on bioconversion processes.

Bind&Bite: covalently stabilized heterodimeric coiled-coil peptides for the site-selective, cysteine-free chemical modification of proteins. RSC Chem Biol 2023; 4:794-803.

Abstract
Ensuring site-selectivity in covalent chemical modification of proteins is one of the major challenges in chemical biology and related biomedical disciplines. Most current strategies either utilize the selectivity of proteases, or are based on reactions involving the thiol groups of cysteine residues. We have modified a pair of heterodimeric coiled-coil peptides to enable the selective covalent stabilization of the dimer without using enzymes or cysteine moieties. Fusion of one peptide to the protein of interest, in combination with linking the desired chemical modification to the complementary peptide, facilitates stable, regio-selective attachment of the chemical moiety to the protein, through the formation of the covalently stabilized coiled-coil. This ligation method, which is based on the formation of isoeptide and squaramide bonds, respectively, between the coiled-coil peptides, was successfully used to selectively modify the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. Covalent stabilization of the coiled-coil also facilitated truncation of the peptides by one heptad sequence. Furthermore, selective addressing of individual positions of the peptides enabled the generation of mutually selective coiled-coils. The established method, termed Bind&Bite, can be expected to be beneficial for a range of biotechnological and biomedical applications, in which chemical moieties need to be stably attached to proteins in a site-selective fashion.

Efficiency Assessment between Entrapment and Covalent Bond Immobilization of Mutant β-Xylosidase onto Chitosan Support. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3170.

Abstract
The Y509E mutant of β-xylosidase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (XynB2Y509E) (which also bears xylanase activity) has been immobilized in chitosan spheres through either entrapment or covalent bond formation methods. The maximum immobilization yield by entrapment was achieved by chitosan beads developed using a 2% chitosan solution after 1 h of maturation time in CFG buffer with ethanol. On the other hand, the highest value in covalent bond immobilization was observed when employing chitosan beads that were prepared from a 2% chitosan solution after 4 h of activation in 1% glutaraldehyde solution at pH 8. The activity expressed after immobilization by covalent bonding was 23% higher compared to the activity expressed following entrapment immobilization, with values of 122.3 and 99.4 IU.g-1, respectively. Kinetic data revealed that catalytic turnover values were decreased as compared to a free counterpart. Both biocatalysts showed increased thermal and pH stability, along with an improved storage capacity, as they retained 88% and 40% of their activity after being stored at 4 °C for two months. Moreover, XynB2Y509E immobilized by covalent binding also exhibited outstanding reusability, retaining 92% of activity after 10 cycles of reuse. In conclusion, our results suggest that the covalent bond method appears to be the best choice for XynB2Y509E immobilization.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) comprises several surface-sensitive techniques that enable the trace and ultra-trace detection of various analytes through affinity pairing. Although enabling label-free, sensitive detection and real-time monitoring, several issues remain to be addressed, such as poor stability, non-specific adsorption and the loss of operational activity of biomolecules. In this review, the progress over sensor modification, immobilization techniques and novel 2D nanomaterials, gold nanostructures and magnetic nanoparticles for signal amplification is discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of each design strategy will be provided together with some of the recent achievements.

Abstract
A carboxylesterase derived from Sulfolobus solfataricus P1 was immobilized onto an epoxy-activated Sepharose resin via non-canonical amino acids. The immobilized enzyme exhibited heightened performance in organic solvents, recyclability, and stability at room temperature for over two years. The incorporation of a non-canonical amino acid afforded a high degree of control over the bioorthogonal immobilization reaction. These results indicate that the specificity conferred by genetic code expansion produces advantages in protein immobilization and broadens the utility of such proteins to non-biological settings.

Abstract
Fusion expression is widely employed to enhance the solubility of recombinant proteins. However, removal of the fusion tag is often required due to its potential impact on the structure and activity of passenger proteins. Tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease is widely used for this purpose due to its stringent sequence recognition. In the present work, fusion to the acyl carrier protein from E. coli fatty acid synthase (ACP) significantly increased the yield of recombinant soluble TEV, and the ACP tag also greatly improved TEV stability. The cleavage activity of TEV was not affected by the ACP fusion tag, and ACP-TEV retained high activity, even at unfavourable pH values. Moreover, ACP-TEV could be efficiently modified by co-expressed E. coli holo-ACP synthase (AcpS), leading to covalent attachment of 4'-phosphopantetheine (4'-PP) group to ACP. The sulfhydryl group of the long, flexible 4'-PP chain displayed high specific reactivity with iodoacetyl groups on the solid support. Thus, TEV could be immobilised effectively and conveniently via the active holo-ACP, and immobilised TEV retained high cleavage activity after a long storage period and several cycles of reuse. As a low-cost and recyclable biocatalyst, TEV immobilised by this method holds promise for biotechnological research and development. KEY POINTS: • The ACP tag greatly increased the soluble expression and stability of TEV protease. • The ACP tag did not affect the cleavage activity of TEV. • The holo-ACP Tag effectively mediated the covalent immobilisation of TEV.

Abstract
Vaccines remain the best approach for the prevention of infectious diseases. Protein subunit vaccines are safe compared to live-attenuated whole cell vaccines but often show reduced immunogenicity. Subunit vaccines in particulate format show improved vaccine efficacy by inducing strong immune responses leading to protective immunity against the respective pathogens. Antigens with proper conformation and function are often required to induce functional immune responses. Production of such antigens requiring post-translational modifications and/or composed of multiple complex domains in bacterial hosts remains challenging. Here, we discuss strategies to overcome these limitations toward the development of particulate vaccines eliciting desired humoral and cellular immune responses. We also describe innovative concepts of assembling particulate vaccine candidates with complex antigens bearing multiple post-translational modifications. The approaches include non-covalent attachments (e.g. biotin-avidin affinity) and covalent attachments (e.g. SpyCatcher-SpyTag) to attach post-translationally modified antigens to particles.

Convenient site-selective protein coupling from bacterial raw lysates to coenzyme A-modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) by Bacillus subtilis Sfp phosphopantetheinyl transferase. Virology 2023; 578:61-70. [PMID: 36473278 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2022.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A facile enzyme-mediated strategy enables site-specific covalent one-step coupling of genetically tagged luciferase molecules to coenzyme A-modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV-CoA) both in solution and on solid supports. Bacillus subtilis surfactin phosphopantetheinyl transferase Sfp produced in E. coli mediated the conjugation of firefly luciferase N-terminally extended by eleven amino acids forming a 'ybbR tag' as Sfp-selective substrate, which even worked in bacterial raw lysates. The enzymes displayed on the protein coat of the TMV nanocarriers exhibited high activity. As TMV has proven a beneficial high surface-area adapter template stabilizing enzymes in different biosensing layouts in recent years, the use of TMV-CoA for fishing ybbR-tagged proteins from complex mixtures might become an advantageous concept for the versatile equipment of miniaturized devices with biologically active proteins. It comes along with new opportunities for immobilizing multiple functionalities on TMV adapter coatings, as desired, e.g., in handheld systems for point-of-care detection.

Immobilization of a Bienzymatic System via Crosslinking to a Metal‐Organic Framework. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
A leading biotechnological advancement in the field of biocatalysis is the immobilization of enzymes on solid supports to create more stable and recyclable systems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials that have been explored as solid supports for enzyme immobilization. Composed of organic linkers and inorganic nodes, MOFs feature empty void space with large surface areas and have the ability to be modified post-synthesis. Our target enzyme system for immobilization is glucose oxidase (GOx) and chloroperoxidase (CPO). Glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose and is used for many applications in biosensing, biofuel cells, and food production. Chloroperoxidase is a fungal heme enzyme that catalyzes peroxide-dependent halogenation, oxidation, and hydroxylation. These two enzymes work sequentially in this enzyme system by GOx producing peroxide, which activates CPO that reacts with a suitable substrate. This study focuses on using a zirconium-based MOF, UiO-66-NH2, to immobilize the enzyme system via crosslinking with the MOF’s amine group on the surface of the MOF. This study investigates two different crosslinkers: disuccinimidyl glutarate (DSG) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinidimide (NHS), providing stable crosslinking of the MOF to the enzymes. The two crosslinkers are used to covalently bond CPO and GOx onto UiO-66-NH2, and a comparison of the recyclability and enzymatic activity of the single immobilization of CPO and the doubly immobilized CPO and GOx is discussed through assays and characterization analyses. The DSG-crosslinked composites displayed enhanced activity relative to the free enzyme, and all crosslinked enzyme/MOF composites demonstrated recyclability, with at least 30% of the activity being retained after four catalytic cycles. The results of this report will aid researchers in utilizing CPO as a biocatalyst that is more active and has greater recyclability.

Abstract
Filter paper provides an excellent matrix for retention of proteins containing a cellulose binding domain. To use this capability for manipulating recombinant fusion proteins, binding and elution parameters were explored and procedures developed for small scale purification, modification and assay. Proteins were tagged with the cellulose binding domain from the Clostridium thermocellum CipB gene via a cleavable linker. Filter paper disks of 6 mm diameter were able to bind up to 80 μg protein although there was a substantial dependence on molecular size. Different means of introducing fusion proteins to the disks allow either binding within 20 min from microliter volumes or slower binding from milliliter volumes. Elution with protease in small volumes yielded greater than 10 μg amounts with concentrations in the 1-2 mg/ml range. To demonstrate their utility, disks were used for small scale protein purification, covalent modification of protein, immunoprecipitation, and in a binding assay. These versatile methods allow parallel processing of multiple samples and may find many uses when only small amounts of protein are needed.

Abstract
Hepatocyte scaffold is an essential part in bioartificial liver device. We have designed a novel hepatocyte scaffold based on porcine liver extracellular matrix (ECM) and chitosan (CTS) fabrics. This CTS-ECM scaffold can improve cell adhesion and proliferation. In the present study, an orthogonal test was designed to optimize the CTS/ECM composite scaffold, in which ECM concentration, EDC concentration and EDC to NHS ratio were taken as factors, proportion of nitrogen element and hydroxyproline content as indicators. The cytocompatibility of the novel scaffold for C3A hepatocytes was analyzed in vitro. The orthogonal test demonstrated that the optimal scaffold should be based on ECM concentration of 5 mg/mL, EDC concentration of 5 mg/mL, and EDC to NHS ratio 1:1. C3A hepatocytes cultured on the optimized CTS-ECM scaffolds showed stronger proliferation and functionality than those on Cytodex3 microcarriers (p < 0.05). The CTS/ECM composite scaffold may be widely used as a promising hepatocyte culture carrier, especially in bioartificial liver support systems.

Abstract
Homogeneous and high-density immobilization of proteins on gold-based sensing surface without the loss of protein activity is of great significance for high-performance immunosensing but remains challenging. To realize more sensitive immunosensing, an improved method for protein immobilization on the gold surface is urgently required. Here, we propose a biological and mild approach by combining a genetically encoded SpyTag-SpyCatcher interaction system with a redesigned S-layer of bacteria. This method allows proteins of interest to be covalently linked with the S-layer in a biological manner and arranged orderly in a two-dimensional nanoarray on the gold surface. The activity of African swine fever virus proteins was significantly preserved after immobilization. In addition, our S-layer-based immobilization method exhibited an eightfold increase in detection sensitivity compared with the conventional chemical cross-linking for protein immobilization during serological tests. Together, our S-layer-based immobilization method provides an innovative approach for building a quality gold-based biosensing interface and should greatly contribute to the high-sensitivity sensing for a deeper understanding of pathogen infection and host immunity.

Abstract
For industrial applications, covalent immobilization of enzymes provides minimum leakage, recoverability, reusability, and high stability. Yet, the suitability of a given site on the enzyme for immobilization remains a trial-and-error procedure. Here, we investigate the reliability of design heuristics and a coarse-grain molecular simulation in predicting the optimum sites for covalent immobilization of TEM-1 β-lactamase. We utilized E. coli-lysate-based cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) to produce variants containing a site-specific incorporated unnatural amino acid with a unique moiety to facilitate site directed covalent immobilization. To constrain the number of potential immobilization sites, we investigated the predictive capability of several design heuristics. The suitability of immobilization sites was determined by analyzing expression yields, specific activity, immobilization efficiency, and stability of variants. These experimental findings are compared with coarse-grain simulation of TEM-1 domain stability and thermal stability and analyzed for a priori predictive capabilities. This work demonstrates that the design heuristics successfully identify a subset of locations for experimental validation. Specifically, the nucleotide following amber stop codon and domain stability correlate well with the expression yield and specific activity of the variants, respectively. Our approach highlights the advantages of combining coarse-grain simulation and high-throughput experimentation using CFPS to identify optimal enzyme immobilization sites.

Abstract
This paper describes the discovery, synthesis, and use of novel water-soluble acylation reagents for efficient and selective modification, cross-linking, and labeling of proteins and peptides, as well as for their use in the effective modification of sepharose beads under pH control in aqueous media. The reagents are based on a 2,4-dichloro-6-sulfonic acid phenol ester core combined with a variety of linker structures. The combination of these motifs leads to an ideal balance between hydrolytic stability and reactivity. At high pH, good to excellent conversions (up to 95%) and regioselectivity (up to 99:1 Nε/Nα amine ratio) in the acylation were realized, exemplified by the chemical modification of incretin peptides and insulin. At neutral pH, an unusually high preference toward the N-terminal phenylalanine in an insulin derivative was observed (>99:1 Nα/Nε), which is up until now unprecedented in the literature for more elaborate reagents. In addition, the unusually high hydrolytic stability of these reagents and their ability to efficiently react at low concentrations (28 μM or 0.1 mg/mL) are exemplified with a hydroxy linker-based reagent and are a unique feature of this work.

Abstract
We report stable and heterogeneous graphene oxide (GO)–intercalated copper as an efficient catalyst for the organic transformations in green solvents. The GO-intercalated copper(II) complex of bis(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) [Cu(II)-bis-cyclen] was prepared by a facile synthetic approach with a high dilution technique. The as-prepared GO-Cu(II)-bis-cyclen nanocomposite was used as a click catalyst for the 1,3 dipolar Huisgen cycloaddition reaction of terminal alkyne and azide substrates. On directing a great deal of attention toward the feasibility of the rapid electron transfer rate of the catalyst in proliferating the yield of 1,2,3-triazole products, the click catalyst GO-Cu(II)-bis-cyclen nanocomposite was designed and synthesized via non-covalent functionalization. The presence of a higher coordination site in an efficient 2D nanocomposite promotes the stabilization of Cu(I) L-acetylide intermediate during the catalytic cycle initiated by the addition of reductants. From the XRD analysis, the enhancement in the d-interlayer spacing of 1.04 nm was observed due to the intercalation of the Cu(II)-bis-cyclen complex in between the GO basal planes. It was also characterized by XPS, FT-IR, RAMAN, UV, SEM, AFM, and TGA techniques. The recyclability of the heterogeneous catalyst [GO-Cu(II)-cyclen] with the solvent effect has also been studied. This class of GO-Cu(II)-bis-cyclen nanocomposite paves the way for bioconjugation of macromolecules through the click chemistry approach.

Abstract
Nanofibers (NFs) are potential candidates as filter materials for affinity separation owing to their high liquid permeability based on their high porosity. Multiple and complex processes were conventionally performed to immobilize proteins for modifying NF surfaces. A simple method must be developed to immobilize proteins without impairing their biological activity. Herein, we succeeded in fabricating NFs with a core of cellulose acetate and a shell of hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol immobilized with staphylococcal recombinant protein A by a one-step process based on core-shell electrospinning. A total of 12.9 mg/cm3 of antibody was captured in the fiber shell through high affinity with protein A immobilized in an aqueous environment of the hydrogel. The maximum adsorption site and dissociation constant evaluated by the Langmuir model were 87.8 µg and 1.37 µmol/L, respectively. The fiber sheet withstood triplicate use. Thus, our NF exhibited high potential as a material for membrane chromatography.

Abstract
Significant advances in enzyme discovery, protein and reaction engineering have transformed biocatalysis into a viable technology for the industrial scale manufacturing of chemicals. Multi-enzyme catalysis has emerged as a new frontier for the synthesis of complex chemicals. However, the in vitro operation of multiple enzymes simultaneously in one vessel poses challenges that require new strategies for increasing the operational performance of enzymatic cascade reactions. Chief among those strategies is enzyme co-immobilization. This review will explore how advances in synthetic biology and protein engineering have led to bioinspired co-localization strategies for the scaffolding and compartmentalization of enzymes. Emphasis will be placed on genetically encoded co-localization mechanisms as platforms for future autonomously self-organizing biocatalytic systems. Such genetically programmable systems could be produced by cell factories or emerging cell-free systems. Challenges and opportunities towards self-assembling, multifunctional biocatalytic materials will be discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and therapy (PDT) are emerging, non/minimally invasive techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Both techniques require a photosensitizer and light to visualize or destroy cancer cells. However, a limitation of conventional, non-targeted PDT is poor selectivity, causing side effects. The bioconjugation of a photosensitizer to a tumor-targeting molecule, such as an antibody or a ligand peptide, is a way to improve selectivity. The bioconjugation strategy can generate a tumor-targeting photosensitizer conjugate specific for cancer cells, or ideally, for multiple tumor compartments to improve selectivity and efficacy, such as cancer stem cells and tumor neovasculature within the tumor microenvironment. If successful, such targeted photosensitizer conjugates can also be used for specific visualization and detection of cancer cells and/or tumor angiogenesis (an early event in tumorigenesis) with the hope of an early diagnosis of cancer. The purpose of this review is to summarize some current promising target molecules, e.g., tissue factor (also known as CD142), and the currently used bioconjugation strategies in PDT and PDD, with a focus on newly developed protein photosensitizers. These are genetically engineered photosensitizers, with the possibility of generating a fusion protein photosensitizer by recombinant DNA technology for both PDT and PDD without the need of chemical conjugation. We believe that providing an overview of promising targets and bioconjugation strategies will aid in driving research in this field forward towards more effective, less toxic, and non- or minimally invasive treatment and diagnosis options for cancer patients.

Abstract
Site-directed protein immobilization allows the homogeneous orientation of proteins with high retention of activity, which is advantageous for many applications. Here, we report a facile, specific, and efficient strategy based on the SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry. Two SpyTag-fused model proteins, that is, the monomeric red fluorescent protein (RFP) and the oligomeric glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase, were easily immobilized onto a SpyCatcher-modified resin directly from cell lysates, with activity recoveries in the range of 85-91%. This strategy was further adapted to protein purification, which proceeded through the selective capture of the SpyCatcher-fused target proteins by a SpyTag-modified resin, with the aid of an intein to generate authentic N-termini. For two model proteins, that is, RFP and a variable domain of a heavy chain antibody, the yields were ∼3-7 mg/L culture with >90% purities. This approach could provide a versatile tool for producing high-performance immobilized protein devices and proteins for industrial and therapeutic uses.

Abstract
In search for peptide motifs that allow us to efficiently tether fusion proteins onto polymer surfaces, we designed a KLKLKLKLKL (KL5) decapeptide in which basic and hydrophobic amino acids were alternately linked. By means of genetic engineering technology together with a bacterial expression system, the KL5 fusions of epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor, and stromal cell-derived factor-1α were prepared together with their control counterparts without KL5. The adsorption experiments were performed for these fusion proteins on the surface of polystyrene, hydrophilized polystyrene, and polycaprolactone by surface plasmon resonance analysis. To understand the results of the binding assays, the structure of the fusion proteins was predicted by ab initio computer simulation and analyzed empirically by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The result of structural analyses suggested that the KL5 peptide is exposed to the outside and has a negligible effect on the structure of the protein partners. However, it was found that the efficiency of KL5 as a peptide motif greatly depends on protein partners. Our results showed that KL5 exerts most effectively its function as a peptide motif when fused to acidic proteins such as EGF. Indeed, the number of living human mesenchymal stem cells determined after 7-day culture was larger on the polystyrene and polycaprolactone surfaces with EGF tethered through the KL5 peptide than control surfaces. According to the results obtained in this study, we conclude that KL5 is useful as a peptide motif for tethering a specific class of protein partners.

Abstract
Immobilization of enzymes provides many benefits, including facile separation and recovery of enzymes from reaction mixtures, enhanced stability, and co-localization of multiple enzymes. Calcium-phosphate-protein supraparticles imbued with a leucine zipper binding domain (ZR ) serve as a modular immobilization platform for enzymes fused to the complementary leucine zipper domain (ZE ). The zippers provide high-affinity, specific binding, separating enzymatic activity from the binding event. Using fluorescent model proteins (mCherryZE and eGFPZE ), an amine dehydrogenase (AmDHZE ), and a formate dehydrogenase (FDHZE ), the efficacy of supraparticles as a biocatalytic solid support was assessed. Supraparticles demonstrated several benefits as an immobilization support, including predictable loading of multiple proteins, structural integrity in a panel of solvents, and the ability to elute and reload proteins without damaging the support. The dual-enzyme reaction successfully converted ketone to amine on supraparticles, highlighting the efficacy of this system.

Abstract
We report a diazonium electro-grafting method for the covalent modification of conducting surfaces with aldehyde-reactive hydroxylamine functionalities that facilitate the wiring of redox-active (bio)molecules to electrode surfaces. Hydroxylamine near-monolayer formation is achieved via a phthalimide-protection and hydrazine-deprotection strategy that overcomes the multilayer formation that typically complicates diazonium surface modification. This surface modification strategy is characterized using electrochemistry (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. Thus-modified glassy carbon, boron-doped diamond, and gold surfaces are all shown to ligate to small molecule aldehydes, yielding surface coverages of 150-170, 40, and 100 pmol cm-2, respectively. Bioconjugation is demonstrated via the coupling of a dilute (50 μM) solution of periodate-oxidized horseradish peroxidase enzyme to a functionalized gold surface under biocompatible conditions (H2O solvent, pH 4.5, 25 °C).

Abstract
Protein conjugation to biomaterial scaffolds is a powerful approach for tissue engineering. However, typical chemical conjugation methods lack site-selectivity and can negatively impact protein bioactivity. To overcome this problem, a site-selective strategy is reported here for installing tetrazine groups on terminal poly-histidines (His-tags) of recombinant proteins. These tetrazine groups are then leveraged for bio-orthogonal conjugation to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel microparticles, which are subsequently assembled into microporous annealed particle (MAP) hydrogels. Efficacy of the strategy is demonstrated using recombinant, green fluorescent protein with a His tag (His-GFP), which enhanced fluorescence of the MAP hydrogels compared to control protein lacking tetrazine groups. Subsequently, to demonstrate efficacy with a therapeutic protein, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (His-BMP2) was conjugated. Human mesenchymal stem cells growing in the MAP hydrogels responded to the conjugated BMP2 and significantly increased mineralization after 21 days compared to controls. Thus, this site-selective protein modification strategy coupled with bio-orthogonal click chemistry is expected to be useful for bone defect repair and regeneration therapies. Broader application to the integration of protein therapeutics with biomaterials is also envisioned.

Abstract
The use of natural systems, such as outer membrane protein A (OmpA), phosphoporin E (PhoE), ice nucleation protein (INP), etc., has been proved very useful for the surface exposure of proteins on the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. These strategies have the clear advantage of unifying in a one-step the production, the purification and the in vivo immobilisation of proteins/biocatalysts onto a specific biological support. Here, we introduce the novel Anchoring-and-Self-Labelling-protein-tag (ASLtag), which allows the in vivo immobilisation of enzymes on E. coli surface and the labelling of the neosynthesised proteins with the engineered alkylguanine-DNA-alkyl-transferase (H5) from Sulfolobus solfataricus. Our results demonstrated that this tag enhanced the overexpression of thermostable enzymes, such as the carbonic anhydrase (SspCA) from Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense and the β-glycoside hydrolase (SsβGly) from S. solfataricus, without affecting their folding and catalytic activity, proposing a new tool for the improvement in the utilisation of biocatalysts of biotechnological interest.

Abstract
The covalent immobilization of an enzyme to a solid support can broaden its applicability in various workflows. Immobilized enzymes facilitate catalyst re-use, adaptability to automation or high-throughput applications and removal of the enzyme without heat inactivation or reaction purification. In this report, we demonstrate a step-by-step procedure to carry out the bio-orthogonal immobilization of DNA modifying enzymes employing the self-labelling activity of the SNAP-tag to covalently conjugate the enzyme of interest to the solid support. We also demonstrate how modifying the surface functionality of the support can improve the activity of the immobilized enzyme. Finally, the utility of immobilized DNA-modifying enzymes is depicted through sequential processing of genomic DNA libraries for Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS), resulting in improved read coverage across AT-rich sequences.

Abstract
Sortases are enzymes occurring in the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria. Sortase A (SrtA), the best studied sortase class, plays a key role in anchoring surface proteins with the recognition sequence LPXTG covalently to oligoglycine units of the bacterial cell wall. This unique transpeptidase activity renders SrtA attractive for various purposes and motivated researchers to study multiple in vivo and in vitro ligations in the last decades. This ligation technique is known as sortase-mediated ligation (SML) or sortagging and developed to a frequently used method in basic research. The advantages are manifold: extremely high substrate specificity, simple access to substrates and enzyme, robust nature and easy handling of sortase A. In addition to the ligation of two proteins or peptides, early studies already included at least one artificial (peptide equipped) substrate into sortagging reactions - which demonstrates the versatility and broad applicability of SML. Thus, SML is not only a biology-related technique, but has found prominence as a major interdisciplinary research tool. In this review, we provide an overview about the use of sortase A in interdisciplinary research, mainly for protein modification, synthesis of protein-polymer conjugates and immobilization of proteins on surfaces.

3D printing is a powerful emerging technology for the tailored fabrication of advanced functional materials. This Review summarizes the state-of-the art with regard to 3D laser micro- and nanoprinting and explores the chemical challenges limiting its full exploitation: from the development of advanced functional materials for applications in cell biology and electronics to the chemical barriers that need to be overcome to enable fast writing velocities with resolution below the diffraction limit. We further explore chemical means to enable direct laser writing of multiple materials in one resist by highly wavelength selective (λ-orthogonal) photochemical processes. Finally, chemical processes to construct adaptive 3D written structures that are able to respond to external stimuli, such as light, heat, pH value, or specific molecules, are highlighted, and advanced concepts for degradable scaffolds are explored.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are considered as one of the serious diseases that leads to the death of millions of people all over the world. Stent implantation has been approved as an easy and promising way to treat cardiovascular diseases. However, in-stent restenosis and thrombosis remain serious problems after stent implantation. It was demonstrated in a large body of previously published literature that endothelium impairment represents a major factor for restenosis. This discovery became the driving force for many studies trying to achieve an optimized methodology for accelerated re-endothelialization to prevent restenosis. Thus, in this review, we summarize the different methodologies opted to achieve re-endothelialization, such as, but not limited to, manipulation of surface chemistry and surface topography.
