Phage display of functional, full-length human and viral membrane proteins

Phage display of protein and peptide libraries offers a powerful technology for the selection and isolation of ligands and receptors. To date, the technique has been considered limited to soluble, non-membrane proteins. We report two examples of phage display of full-length, folded and functional membrane proteins. Consistent display required the recently reported KO7(+) helper phage. The two proteins, full-length caveolin-1 and HIV gp41, display well on the surface of the phage, and maintain their binding activities as shown by in vitro assays.     

Phage display: Concept,innovations, applications and future

Phage display is the technology that allows expression of exogenous (poly)peptides on the surface of phage particles. The concept is simple in principle: a library of phage particles expressing a wide diversity of peptides is used to select those that bind the desired target. The filamentous phage M13 is the most commonly used vector to create random peptide display libraries. Several methods including recombinant techniques have been developed to increase the diversity of the library. On the other extreme, libraries with various biases can be created for specific purposes. For instance, when the sequence of the peptide that binds the target is known, its affinity and selectivity can be increased by screening libraries created with limited mutagenesis of the peptide. Phage libraries are screened for binding to synthetic or native targets. The initial screening of library by basic biopanning has been extended to column chromatography including negative screening and competition between selected phage clones to identify high affinity ligands with greater target specificity. The rapid isolation of specific ligands by phage display is advantageous in many applications including selection of inhibitors for the active and allosteric sites of the enzymes, receptor agonists and antagonists, and G-protein binding modulatory peptides. Phage display has been used in epitope mapping and analysis of protein-protein interactions. The specific ligands isolated from phage libraries can be used in therapeutic target validation, drug design and vaccine development. Phage display can also be used in conjunction with other methods. The past innovations and those to come promise a bright future for this field.     

Biotechnological applications of phage and cell display

In recent years, the use of surface-display vectors for displaying polypeptides on the surface of bacteriophage and bacteria, combined with in vitro selection technologies, has transformed the way in which we generate and manipulate ligands, such as enzymes, antibodies and peptides. Phage display is based on expressing recombinant proteins or peptides fused to a phage coat protein. Bacterial display is based on expressing recombinant proteins fused to sorting signals that direct their incorporation on the cell surface. In both systems, the genetic information encoding for the displayed molecule is physically linked to its product via the displaying particle. Using these two complementary technologies, we are now able to design repertoires of ligands from scratch and use the power of affinity selection to select those ligands having the desired (biological) properties from a large excess of irrelevant ones. With phage display, tailor-made proteins (fused peptides, antibodies, enzymes, DNA-binding proteins) may be synthesized and selected to acquire the desired catalytic properties or affinity of binding and specificity for in vitro and in vivo diagnosis, for immunotherapy of human disease or for biocatalysis. Bacterial surface display has found a range of applications in the expression of various antigenic determinants, heterologous enzymes, single-chain antibodies, and combinatorial peptide libraries. This review explains the basis of phage and bacterial surface display and discusses the contributions made by these two leading technologies to biotechnological applications. This review focuses mainly on three areas where phage and cell display have had the greatest impact, namely, antibody engineering, enzyme technology and vaccine development.     

Engineering M13 for phage display

Phage display is achieved by fusing polypeptide libraries to phage coat proteins. The resulting phage particles display the polypeptides on their surfaces and they also contain the encoding DNA. Library members with particular functions can be isolated with simple selections and polypeptide sequences can be decoded from the encapsulated DNA. The technology's success depends on the efficiency with which polypeptides can be displayed on the phage surface, and significant progress has been made in engineering M13 bacteriophage coat proteins as improved phage display platforms. Functional display has been achieved with all five M13 coat proteins, with both N- and C-terminal fusions. Also, coat protein mutants have been designed and selected to improve the efficiency of heterologous protein display, and in the extreme case, completely artificial coat proteins have been evolved specifically as display platforms. These studies demonstrate that the M13 phage coat is extremely malleable, and this property can be used to engineer the phage particle specifically for phage display. These improvements expand the utility of phage display as a powerful tool in modern biotechnology.     

Peptide phage display in biotechnology and biomedicine

To date peptide phage display is one of the most common combinatorial methods used for identifying specific peptide ligands. Phage display peptide libraries containing billions different clones successfully used for selection of ligands with high affinity and selectivity toward wide range of targets including individual proteins, bacteria, viruses, spores, different kind of cancer cells and variety of nonorganic targets (metals, alloys, semiconductors, etc.). Success of using filamentous phage in phage display technologies relays on the robustness of phage particles and a possibility to genetically modify its DNA to construct new phage variants with novel properties. In this review we are discussing characteristics of the most known non-commercial peptide phage display libraries of different formats (landscape libraries in particular) and their successful applications in several fields of biotechnology and biomedicine: discovery of peptides with diagnostic values against different pathogens, discovery and using of peptides recognizing cancer cells, trends in using of phage display technologies in human interactome studies, application of phage display technologies in construction of novel nanomaterials.     

Phage presentation

There has recently been great interest in the use of the filamentous bacteriophage fd as a vehicle for the display of peptides and proteins. Phage libraries displaying random peptides up to 38 amino acids in length can be used (i) to select for ligands able to bind specific target molecules; (ii) to mimic non-proteinaceous ligands; and (iii) as a tool to map epitopes recognized by antibodies. The display of proteins or their functional domains provides a system for the analysis of structure-function relationships, and the potential to generate proteins with altered binding characteristics or novel catalytic properties. The display of short immunogenic determinants on fusion phage may provide a basis for the development of novel peptide vaccines, whilst the expression of libraries of antibody fragments may provide a method to by-pass hybridoma technology in the generation of monoclonal antibodies.     

Biodistribution of filamentous phage peptide libraries in mice

In vivo phage display is a new approach to acquire peptide molecules that bind stably to a given target. Phage peptide display libraries have been selected in mice and humans and numerous vasculature-targeting peptides have been reported. However, in vivo phage display has not typically produced molecules that extravasate to target specific organ or tumor antigens. Phage selections in animals have been performed for very short times without optimization for biodistribution or clearance rates to a particular organ. It is hypothesized that peptides that home to a desired antigen/organ can be obtained from in vivo phage experiments by optimization of incubation times, phage extraction and propagation procedures. To accomplish this goal, one must first gain a better understanding of the in vivo biodistribution and rate of clearance of engineered phage peptide display libraries. While the fate of wild type phage in rodents has been reported, the in vivo biodistribution of the commonly used engineered fd-tet M13 phage peptide display libraries (such as in the fUSE5 vector system) have not been well established. Here we report the biodistribution and clearance properties of fd-tet fifteen amino acid random peptide display libraries in fUSE5 phage in three common mouse models employed for drug discovery - CF-1, nude, and SCID mice.     

Peptide-displaying phage technology in glycobiology

Phage display technology is an emerging drug discovery tool. Using that approach, short peptides that mimic part of a carbohydrate's conformation are selected by screening a peptide-displaying phage library with anti-carbohydrate antibodies. Chemically synthesized peptides with an identified sequence have been used as an alternative ligand to carbohydrate-binding proteins. These peptides represent research tools useful to assay the activities of glycosyltransferases and/or sulfotransferases or to inhibit the carbohydrate-dependent binding of proteins in vitro and in vivo. Peptides can also serve as immunogens to raise anti-carbohydrate antibodies in vivo in animals. Phage display has also been used in single-chain antibody technology by inserting an immunoglobulin's variable region sequence into the phage. A single-chain antibody library can then be screened with a carbohydrate antigen as the target, resulting in a recombinant anti-carbohydrate antibody with high affinity to the antigen. This review provides examples of successful applications of peptide-displaying phage technology to glycobiology. Such an approach should benefit translational research by supplying carbohydrate-mimetic peptides and carbohydrate-binding polypeptides.     

噬菌体肽库技术的应用

Phage Peptide Libraries

Filamentous phage particles have been central in the construction of libraries displaying vast numbers of random peptides. These random peptides can be antigenically presented as fusions to coat proteins III and VIII of the phage. The isolation of ligate-reactive phage from an immense background of nonspecific phage is achieved by the biopanning process. Enrichment of reactive phage relative to unreactive phage occurs with alternate rounds of affinity selection to the desired molecular target and amplification of the specifically bound phage. This allows the isolation of rare binding species contained in the phage peptide libraries. Each phage particle contains the information in its genome pertaining to the type of random peptide insert displayed. Hence, the identification of binding motifs displayed on ligate-reactive phage is revealed by sequencing the relevant insert site in the phage genome. Phage peptide libraries have been used to isolate ligands to an array of protein ligates. The libraries have proved particularly effective in defining the binding sites of monoclonal antibodies and to some extent polyclonal sera. The analysis of the peptide insert sequences of a number of different clones of antibody binding phage can reveal a great deal about the nature and restriction of the amino acid residues critical for the antibody–antigen interaction.
