Geobacillus stearothermophilus MDH (gs-MDH) is used as a diagnostic reagent; however, gs-MDH is robustly inhibited at high substrate concentrations, which limits its reaction rate. Here, we reduced substrate inhibition of gs-MDH by deleting its C-terminal residues. Computational analysis showed that C-terminal residues regulate the position of the active site loop. C-terminal deletions of gs-MDH successfully increased Ki values by 5- to 8-fold with maintained thermal stability (>90% of the wild-type enzyme), although kcat/Km values were decreased by <2-fold. The structure of the mutant showed a shift in the location of the active site loop and a decrease in its volume, suggesting that substrate inhibition was reduced by eliminating the putative substrate binding site causing inhibition. Our results provide an effective method to reduce substrate inhibition of the enzyme without loss of other parameters, including binding and stability constants.","PeriodicalId":54543,"journal":{"name":"Protein Engineering Design & Selection","volume":"35 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10384924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is crucial to understand and optimize the third constant domain (CH3-CH3) interface to favor heterodimerization over homodimerization, and to preserve the physicochemical properties, as thermal stability. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the dissociation process of 19 CH3-CH3 crystal structures that differ from each other in few point mutations. We describe the dissociation of the dimeric interface as a two-steps mechanism. As confirmed by a Markov state model, apart from the bound and the dissociated state, we observe an additional intermediate state, which corresponds to an encounter complex. The analysis of the interdomain contacts reveals key residues that stabilize the interface. We expect that our results will improve the understanding of the CH3-CH3 interface interactions and thus advance the developability and design of new antibodies formats.","PeriodicalId":54543,"journal":{"name":"Protein Engineering Design & Selection","volume":"35 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9741699/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10353046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a challenge, as stability enhancing mutations must be focused on the protein core, whereas successful computational stabilization algorithms typically select mutations at solvent-facing positions. In this study, we report the stabilization of SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan Hu-1 Spike receptor binding domain using a combination of deep mutational scanning and computational design, including the FuncLib algorithm. Our most successful design encodes I358F, Y365W, T430I, and I513L receptor binding domain mutations, maintains recognition by the receptor ACE2 and a panel of different anti-receptor binding domain monoclonal antibodies, is between 1 and 2°C more thermally stable than the original receptor binding domain using a thermal shift assay, and is less proteolytically sensitive to chymotrypsin and thermolysin than the original receptor binding domain. Our approach could be applied to the computational stabilization of a wide range of proteins without requiring detailed knowledge of active sites or binding epitopes. We envision that this strategy may be particularly powerful for cases when there are multiple or unknown binding sites.","PeriodicalId":54543,"journal":{"name":"Protein Engineering Design & Selection","volume":"35 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9077414/pdf/gzac002.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9166459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially for treating cancers, multispecific antibodies are very promising, as there are multiple pathways involved and multispecific antibodies offer the possibility to interfere at two or more sites. Besides being used as therapeutic, multispecific antibodies can be helpful tools in basic research. However, the design and choice of the most appropriate multispecific antibody format are far from trivial. The generation of multispecific antibodies starts with the generation of antibodies directed against the desired targets and then combining the different antigen-binding sites in one molecule. This is a time-consuming and laborious approach since the most suitable geometry cannot be predicted. The SpyTag technology is based on a split-protein system, where a small peptide of said protein, the SpyTag, can bind to the remaining protein, the SpyCatcher. An irreversible isopeptide bond between the SpyTag and the SpyCatcher is formed. A related Tag-Catcher system is the SnoopTag-SnoopCatcher. These systems offer the opportunity to separately produce proteins fused to the tag-peptides and to the catcher-domains and assemble them in vitro. Our goal was to design and produce different antibody fragments, Fab domains and Fc-containing domains, with different tags and/or catchers as building blocks for the assembly of different multivalent antibodies. We have shown that large multivalent antibodies consisting of up to seven building blocks can be prepared. Binding experiments demonstrated that all binding sites in such a large molecule retained their accessibility to their corresponding antigens.","PeriodicalId":54543,"journal":{"name":"Protein Engineering Design & Selection","volume":"35 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9226656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because human PRODH is challenging to purify, the PRODH domains of the bacterial bifunctional enzyme proline utilization A (PutA) have been used for inhibitor development. These systems have limitations due to large polypeptide chain length, conformational flexibility and the presence of domains unrelated to PRODH activity. Herein, we report the engineering of minimal PRODH domains for inhibitor discovery. The best designs contain one-third of the 1233-residue PutA from Sinorhizobium meliloti and include a linker that replaces the PutA α-domain. The minimal PRODHs exhibit near wild-type enzymatic activity and are susceptible to known inhibitors and inactivators. Crystal structures of minimal PRODHs inhibited by S-(-)-tetrahydro-2-furoic acid and 2-(furan-2-yl)acetic acid were determined at 1.23 and 1.72 Å resolution. Minimal PRODHs should be useful in chemical probe discovery.","PeriodicalId":54543,"journal":{"name":"Protein Engineering Design & Selection","volume":"35 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9801229/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10670094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
