Abstract
The Escherichia coli RbsB ribose binding protein has been used as a scaffold for predicting new ligand binding functions through in silico modeling, yet with limited success and reproducibility. In order to possibly improve the success of predictive modeling on RbsB, we study here the influence of individual residues on RbsB-mediated signaling in a near complete library of alanine-substituted RbsB mutants. Among a total of 232 tested mutants, we found 10 which no longer activated GFPmut2 reporter expression in E. coli from a ribose-RbsB hybrid receptor signaling chain, and 13 with significantly lower GFPmut2 induction than wild-type. Quantitative mass spectrometry abundance measurements of 25 mutants and wild-type RbsB in periplasmic space showed four categories of effects. Some (such as D89A) seem correctly produced and translocated but fail to be induced with ribose. Others (such as N190A) show lower induction probably as a result of less efficient production, folding and translocation. The third (such as N41A or K29A) have defects in both induction and abundance. The fourth category consists of semi-constitutive mutants with increased periplasmic abundance but maintenance of ribose induction. Our data show how RbsB modeling should include ligand-binding as well as folding, translocation and receptor binding.

Abstract
Studying the biophysical characteristics of glycosylated proteins and solving their three-dimensional structures requires homogeneous recombinant protein of high quality.We introduce here a new approach to produce glycoproteins in homogenous form with the well-established, glycosylation mutant CHO Lec3.2.8.1 cells. Using preparative cell sorting, stable, high-expressing GFP 'master' cell lines were generated that can be converted fast and reliably by targeted integration via Flp recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) to produce any glycoprotein. Small-scale transient transfection of HEK293 cells was used to identify genetically engineered constructs suitable for constructing stable cell lines. Stable cell lines expressing 10 different proteins were established. The system was validated by expression, purification, deglycosylation and crystallization of the heavily glycosylated luminal domains of lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP).
