mRNA display: ligand discovery,interaction analysis and beyond

In vitro peptide and protein selection using mRNA display enables the discovery and directed evolution of new molecules from combinatorial libraries. These selected molecules can serve as tools to control and understand biological processes, enhance our understanding of molecular interactions and potentially treat disease in therapeutic applications. In mRNA display, mRNA molecules are covalently attached to the peptide or protein they encode. These mRNA-protein fusions enable in vitro selection of peptide and protein libraries of >10(13) different sequences. mRNA display has been used to discover novel peptide and protein ligands for RNA, small molecules and proteins, as well as to define cellular interaction partners of proteins and drugs. In addition, several unique applications are possible with mRNA display, including self-assembling protein chips and library construction with unnatural amino acids and chemically modified peptides.     

Totally in vitro protein selection using mRNA-protein fusions and ribosome display.

Both chemists and biochemists have great interest in creating peptides and proteins with desired structure, recognition and catalytic properties. Recently, two techniques have been developed that afford functional selection of proteins entirely in vitro: mRNA-protein fusions, and ribosome display. Improvements in both methods have allowed peptide and protein libraries of unprecedented size (10(11)-10(13) different members) to be generated and screened for function.     

Ribosome display: cell-free protein display technology.

Ribosome display is a cell-free system for the in vitro selection of proteins and peptides from large libraries. It uses the principle of coupling individual nascent proteins (phenotypes) to their corresponding mRNA (genotypes), through the formation of stable protein-ribosome-mRNA (PRM) complexes. This permits the simultaneous isolation of a functional nascent protein, through affinity for a ligand, together with the encoding mRNA, which is then converted and amplified as DNA for further manipulation, including repeated cycles or protein expression. Ribosome display has a number of advantages over cell-based systems such as phage display; in particular, it can display very large libraries without the restriction of bacterial transformation. It is also suitable for generating toxic, proteolytically sensitive and unstable proteins, and allows the incorporation of modified amino acids at defined positions. In combination with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods, mutations can be introduced efficiently into the selected DNA pool in subsequent cycles, leading to continuous DNA diversification and protein selection (in vitro protein evolution). Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosome display systems have been developed and each has its own distinctive features. In this paper, ribosome display systems and their application in selection and evolution of proteins are reviewed.     

Selection of RNA-binding peptides using mRNA-peptide fusions

We have been working to apply in vitro selection to isolate novel RNA-binding peptides. To do this, we use mRNA-protein fusions, peptides covalently attached to their own mRNA. Here, we report selection protocols developed using the arginine-rich domain of bacteriophage lambda-N protein and its binding target, the boxB RNA. Systematic investigation of possible paths for a selection round has allowed us to design a reliable and efficient protocol to enrich RNA-binding peptides from nonfunctional members of a complex mixture. The protocols we have developed should greatly facilitate the isolation of new molecules using the fusion system.     

Psoralen photo-crosslinked mRNA-puromycin conjugates: a novel template for the rapid and facile preparation of mRNA-protein fusions

We describe the synthesis of a novel type of mRNA template and its use in the preparation of mRNA-protein fusions. A light-induced psoralen crosslinking reaction was used to attach a puromycin-containing oligonucleotide to the 3'-end of an mRNA template. The photo-crosslinked template was found to undergo efficient mRNA-protein fusion formation in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Fusion formation was subsequently tested with templates carrying puromycin linkers of different length and chemical composition. Short linkers with multiple triethyleneglycol phosphate building blocks allowed the most efficient fusion formation under a wide range of salt conditions. The present method simplifies the preparation of mRNA-protein fusions and thus significantly accelerates the in vitro protein evolution procedure which involves repetitive cycles of fusion production and selection.     

Purification of poly-dA oligonucleotides and mRNA-protein fusions with dT25-OAS resin

Solid-phase resins functionalized with poly-deoxythymidine (dT) oligos facilitate purification of poly-adenylated molecules from solution through high affinity, high selectivity base-pairing interactions. These resins are commonly used to purify messenger RNA (mRNA) from complex biological mixtures as well as mRNA-protein fusion molecules for mRNA Display selections. Historically, dT-conjugated cellulose was the primary resin for poly-dA purification, but its scarcity has prompted the development of alternative resins, most notably dT-functionalized magnetic beads. In order to develop a cost-effective alternative to commercially available poly-dT resins for large-scale purifications of mRNA-protein fusions, we investigated the purification properties of dT₂₅-conjugated Oligo Affinity Support resin (dT₂₅-OAS) alongside poly-dT₁₄ magnetic beads and dT₂₅-cellulose. dT₂₅-OAS was found to have the highest dA₂₁ oligo binding capacity at 4 pmol/µg, followed by dT₁₄-magnetic beads (1.1 pmol/µg) and dT₂₅-cellulose (0.7 pmol/µg). To determine the resin specificity in the context of a complex biological mixture, we translated mRNA-protein fusions consisting of a radiolabeled Her2 affibody fused to its encoding mRNA. Commercial dT₂₅-cellulose showed the highest mRNA-affibody purification specificity, followed by dT₂₅-OAS and dT₁₄-magnetic beads. Overall, dT₂₅-OAS showed exceptionally high binding capacity and low background binding, making it an attractive alternative for large-scale mRNA purification and mRNA Display library enrichment.
