Inclusion of an upstream transcriptional terminator in phage display vectors abolishes background expression of toxic fusions with coat protein g3p.

چکیده
Expression of toxic gene products affects bacterial cell growth and phage display, causing a strong selection against plasmid maintenance and integrity. During phage propagation steps, in particular, phagemid instability can dramatically affect diversity of antibody libraries or even lead to the deletion of antibody genes. We constructed a modified phage display vector by introducing a strong transcriptional terminator upstream of the lac promoter, which together with glucose suppression of its CAP-dependent activation, very efficiently represses product formation before induction.

Phage display of an intracellular carboxylesterase of Bacillus subtilis: comparison of Sec and Tat pathway export capabilities.
Using the phage display technology, a protein can be displayed at the surface of bacteriophages as a fusion to one of the phage coat proteins. Here we describe development of this method for fusion of an intracellular carboxylesterase of Bacillus subtilis to the phage minor coat protein g3p. The carboxylesterase gene was cloned in the g3p-based phagemid pCANTAB 5E upstream of the sequence encod...
متن کاملA novel strategy for the functional cloning of enzymes using filamentous phage display: the case of nucleotidyl transferases.
In vitro selections for catalytic activity have been designed for the isolation of genes encoding enzymes from libraries of proteins displayed on filamentous phages. The proteins are generally expressed as C-terminal fusions with the N-terminus of the minor coat protein p3 for display on phages. As full-length cDNAs generally contain several stop codons near their 3' end, this approach cannot b...
متن کاملProduction and Partial Purification of the Grapevine Fanleaf Virus Coat Protein 42 Polyclonal Antibody Against Inclusion Body Expressed in Escherichia coli
Background: Expression of virus coat protein (CP) in Escherichia coli often leads to production of partially folded aggregated proteins which are called inclusion bodies. Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is one of the most serious and widespread grapevine virus diseases around the world and in Iran.Objective: The main objective of this study was to find a s...
متن کاملThe maltose-binding protein as a scaffold for monovalent display of peptides derived from phage libraries.
Random peptide libraries are displayed on filamentous bacteriophage as fusions to either the minor coat protein, pIII, or the major coat protein, pVIII. We have devised a means of isolating the peptide displayed on a phage clone by transferring it to the N-terminus of the maltose-binding protein (MBP) of Escherichia coli encoded by malE. Transfer of a peptide sequence to monomeric MBP eliminate...
متن کاملProcessing and functional display of the 86 kDa heterodimeric penicillin G acylase on the surface of phage fd.
The large heterodimeric penicillin G acylase from Alcaligenes faecalis was displayed on the surface of phage fd. We fused the coding sequence (alpha subunit-internal peptide-beta subunit) to the gene of a phage coat protein. A modified g3p signal sequence was used to direct the polypeptide to the periplasm. Here we show that a heterodimeric enzyme can be expressed as a fusion protein that matur...
