Improving and repurposing biocatalysts via directed evolution.
Over the last two decades, directed evolution has become a staple in protein engineering and ushered in a new era of industrial biocatalysis. Directed evolution has provided the tools to not only improve the activity of known biocatalysts, but also to endow biocatalysts with chemical reactivities not previously encountered in nature. Here we will discuss the recent successes in the quest to enh...
متن کاملCorrection: Directed Evolution of Human Heavy Chain Variable Domain (VH) Using In Vivo Protein Fitness Filter
Human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domains (VH) are promising scaffolds for antigen binding. However, VH is an unstable and aggregation-prone protein, hindering its use for therapeutic purposes. To evolve the VH domain, we performed in vivo protein solubility selection that linked antibiotic resistance to the protein folding quality control mechanism of the twin-arginine translocation pa...
متن کاملEvolution of immunoglobulin VH pseudogenes in chickens.
In chickens, there is a single functional gene (VH1) coding for the heavy chain variable region of immunoglobulins, and immunoglobulin diversity is generated by gene conversion of the VH1 gene by many variable region pseudogenes (psi VH's) that exist on the 5' side of the VH1 gene. To understand the evolution of this unique genetic system, we conducted statistical analyses of VH1 and psi VH gen...
متن کاملAmplification of IgG VH and VL (Fab) from single human plasma cells and B cells.
Amplification of human immunoglobulin has many potential applications such as analysis of clonality, isolation of immunogenic antigens and antigen-specific immunotherapy. Here we describe a method for amplification of human immunoglobulin heavy and light chains from single B lymphocytes or plasma cells. Cells are isolated by FACS, and Ig is amplified by semi-nested RT-PCR. The method is versati...
متن کاملEngineering Genetically-Encoded Mineralization and Magnetism via Directed Evolution
Genetically encoding the synthesis of functional nanomaterials such as magnetic nanoparticles enables sensitive and non-invasive biological sensing and control. Via directed evolution of the natural iron-sequestering ferritin protein, we discovered key mutations that lead to significantly enhanced cellular magnetism, resulting in increased physical attraction of ferritin-expressing cells to mag...
