Cell surface display of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 on Escherichia coli by using ice nucleation protein.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new system designed for cell surface display of recombinant proteins on Escherichia coli has been evaluated for expression of eukaryotic viral proteins. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120 was fused to the C terminus of ice nucleation protein (INP), an outer membrane protein of Pseudomonas syringae. Western blotting, immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence-activated cell-sorting analysis, whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and ice nucleation activity assay confirmed the successful expression of HIV-1 gp120 on the surface of Escherichia coli. This study shows that the INP system can be used for the expression of eukaryotic viral proteins. There is also a possibility that the INP system can be used as an AIDS diagnostic system, an oral vaccine delivery system, and an expression system for various heterologous higher-molecular-weight proteins.

Ice nucleation protein (INP) is frequently used as a surface anchor for protein display in gram-negative bacteria. Here, MalE and TorA signal peptides, and three charged polypeptides, 6×Lys, 6×Glu and 6×Asp, were anchored to the N-terminus of truncated INP (InaK-N) to improve its surface display efficiency for human Arginase1 (ARG1). Our results indicated that the TorA signal peptide increased ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli surface display of single-chain antibody VRC01 against HIV-1 infection.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission and infection occur mainly via the mucosal surfaces. The commensal bacteria residing in these surfaces can potentially be employed as a vehicle for delivering inhibitors to prevent HIV-1 infection. In this study, we have employed a bacteria-based strategy to display a broadly neutralizing antibody VRC01, which could potentially be used to...

We have isolated and sequenced a novel 11-kDa virucidal protein, named cyanovirin-N (CV-N), from cultures of the cyanobacterium (blue-green alga) Nostoc ellipsosporum. We also have produced CV-N recombinantly by expression of a corresponding DNA sequence in Escherichia coli. Low nanomolar concentrations of either natural or recombinant CV-N irreversibly inactivate diverse laboratory strains and...

Cell surface expression of protein has been widely used to display enzymes and antigens. Here we show that Pseudomonas syringae ice nucleation protein with a deletion of internal repeating domain (INC) can be used in Escherichia coli to display peptide in a conformationally active form on the outside of the folded protein by fusing to the C-terminus of INC. Diagnostic potential of this technolo...

Panels of hybridoma-derived monoclonal antibodies against diverse epitopes are widely used in defining protein surface topography, particularly in the absence of crystal or NMR structural information. Here we show that recombinant monoclonal antibodies from phage display libraries provide a rapid alternative for surface epitope mapping. Diverse epitopes are accessed by presenting antigen to the...
