Abstract
The yeast surface display (YSD) system for enzyme immobilization has a wide range of applications and is of great value in various studies. However, despite the many advantages of the YSD system, the amount of proteins it can display is limited, which restricts its potential applications. To enhance the applicability of the YSD system, we introduced a highly efficient and stable conjugation tool (SpyCatcher-SpyTag (SpyC-SpyT)) into the YSD system and developed a Saccharomyces cerevisiae surface assembly (SSA) system with high loading capacity. The SpyC-SpyT can spontaneously form molecular isopeptide bonds, and the target proteins can be assembled in the SSA system within 5 min. By increasing the copy of SpyC and integrating the expression fragment into the rDNA region, we successfully screened a genetically stable and high-copy strain that could assemble ∼7.8 × 106 SpyT-eGFP molecular count/cell. The organophosphate hydrolase immobilized by the SSA system not only has the similar enzyme activity as the free enzyme, but also has improved thermal stability and enhanced tolerance to acidic and alkaline environments. Further, we found that the immobilized enzyme still retained 77.7 % of its enzyme activity after 6 cycles. In conclusion, we successfully constructed a novel, efficient and stable SSA system for the development of the YSD system.
期刊介绍:
Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.
