T4噬菌体表面展示技术的研究进展

噬菌体表面展示技术(phage display)是由Smith于1985年首先建立起来的一种新的生物技术[1],它能将表达的外源多肽或蛋白以融合蛋白的形式展示在噬菌体的表面,保持相对独立的空间构象和原有的生物活性[2].常用的噬菌体表面展示系统主要有丝状噬菌体、λ噬菌体及T4噬菌体展示系统等.虽然它们都具有噬菌体展示系统的优点,但对于丝状噬菌体来说,它不能展示那些难以分泌的肽和蛋白质,而且它的N端可融合外源多肽的容量有限,较大蛋白的融合会造成空间障碍,影响噬菌体的装配,使其失去感染力.而对于λ噬菌体,大分子蛋白的融合会抑制噬菌体的组装,使其生长受到影响,因此这两种噬菌体更适用于构建短肽库和cDNA表达文库[3],而不适于构建重组疫苗和表达分子量大具有完整结构域的蛋白质[4,5].

Construction and exploitation in model experiments of functional selection of a landscape library expressed from a phagemid

Phage display has evolved during the past 15 years as a powerful technique to select, from libraries of peptides or proteins, binders for various targets or to evolve new functions in proteins. In recent years, the knowledge acquired in phage display technology was exploited to engineer phages as vehicles for receptor-mediated gene delivery. The first vectors generated provided the proof of the concept that development of gene delivery vehicles based on phages was feasible. Results obtained showed that the level of receptor ligand display was an essential factor that determines the efficiency of transduction and suggested that phagemids might be more appropriate than phages for gene delivery. However, due to the limitations of the existing display systems, vectors constructed up to now allowed only relatively low levels of ligand display. The transduction efficiency of these vectors was relatively poor. Here, we describe the construction and optimization of a new phagemid display system that was designed to allow the functional selection of peptides that promote gene delivery from phagemids in a high display format. Peptides are displayed on every copy of the major coat protein pVIII and are expressed from the phagemid itself. The phagemid is rescued as particles by a modified R408 helper phage, deficient in pVIII production. Besides an expression cassette for pVIII, the phagemid also contains the SV40 origin of replication, the GFP gene and the neomycin resistance marker. As a model we constructed a library of octapeptides and showed that the library is amenable to selection on cos-7 cells. Several selection approaches were investigated and a preliminary analysis of the peptides selected was carried out.     

A novel helper phage that improves phage display selection efficiency by preventing the amplification of phages without recombinant protein

Phage display is a widely used technology for the isolation of peptides and proteins with specific binding properties from large libraries of these molecules. A drawback of the common phagemid/helper phage systems is the high infective background of phages that do not display the protein of interest, but are propagated due to non-specific binding to selection targets. This and the enhanced growth rates of bacteria harboring aberrant phagemids not expressing recombinant proteins leads to a serious decrease in selection efficiency. Here we describe a VCSM13-derived helper phage that circumvents this problem, because it lacks the genetic information for the infectivity domains of phage coat protein pIII. Rescue of a library with this novel CT helper phage yields phages that are only infectious when they contain a phagemid-encoded pIII-fusion protein, since phages without a displayed protein carry truncated pIII only and are lost upon re-infection. Importantly, the CT helper phage can be produced in quantities similar to the VCSM13 helper phage. The superiority of CT over VCSM13 during selection was demonstrated by a higher percentage of positive clones isolated from an antibody library after two selection rounds on a complex cellular target. We conclude that the CT helper phage considerably improves the efficiency of selections using phagemid-based protein libraries.     

Adapter-Directed Display: A Modular Design for Shuttling Display on Phage Surfaces

A novel adapter-directed phage display system was developed with modular features. In this system, the target protein is expressed as a fusion protein consisting of adapter GR1 from the phagemid vector, while the recombinant phage coat protein is expressed as a fusion protein consisting of adapter GR2 in the helper phage vector. Surface display of the target protein is accomplished through specific heterodimerization of GR1 and GR2 adapters, followed by incorporation of the heterodimers into phage particles. A series of engineered helper phages were constructed to facilitate both display valency and formats, based on various phage coat proteins. As the target protein is independent of a specific phage coat protein, this modular system allows the target protein to be displayed on any given phage coat protein and allows various display formats from the same vector without the need for reengineering. Here, we demonstrate the shuttling display of a single-chain Fv antibody on phage surfaces between multivalent and monovalent formats, as well as the shuttling display of an antigen-binding fragment molecule on phage coat proteins pIII, pVII, and pVIII using the same phagemid vectors combined with different helper phage vectors. This adapter-directed display concept has been applied to eukaryotic yeast surface display and to a novel cross-species display that can shuttle between prokaryotic phage and eukaryotic yeast systems.     

Eliminating helper phage from phage display

Phage display technology involves the display of proteins or peptides, as coat protein fusions, on the surface of a phage or phagemid particles. Using standard technology, helper phage are essential for the replication and assembly of phagemid particles, during library production and biopanning. We have eliminated the need to add helper phage by using 'bacterial packaging cell lines' that provide the same functions. These cell lines contain M13-based helper plasmids that express phage packaging proteins which assemble phagemid particles as efficiently as helper phage, but without helper phage contamination. This results in genetically pure phagemid particle preparations. Furthermore, by using constructs differing in the form of gene 3 that they contain, we have shown that the display, from a single library, can be modulated between monovalent (phagemid-like) and multivalent display (phage-like) without any further engineering. These packaging cells eliminate the use of helper phage from phagemid-based selection protocols; reducing the amount of technical preparation, facilitating automation, optimizing selections by matching display levels to diversity, and effectively using the packaged phagemid particles as means to transfer genetic information at an efficiency approaching 100%.     

Phage display as a novel screening method to identify extracellular proteins

Extracellular proteins are involved in many diverse and essential cell functions and in pathogenic bacteria, and they may also serve as virulence factors. Therefore, there is a need for methods that identify the genes encoding this group of proteins in a bacterial genome. Here, we present such a method based on the phage display technology. A novel gene III-based phagemid vector, pG3DSS, was constructed that lacks the signal sequence which normally orientates the encoded fusion protein to the Escherichia coli cell membrane, where it is assembled into the phage particle. When randomly fragmented DNA is inserted into this vector, only phagemids containing an insert encoding a signal sequence will give rise to phage particles displaying a fusion protein. These phages also display an E-tag epitope in fusion with protein III, which enables isolation of phages displaying a fusion protein, using antibodies against the epitope. From a library constructed from Staphylococcus aureus chromosomal DNA, genes encoding secreted as well as transmembrane proteins were isolated, including adhesins, enzymes and transport proteins.     

DeltaPhage--a novel helper phage for high-valence pIX phagemid display

Phage display has been instrumental in discovery of novel binding peptides and folded domains for the past two decades. We recently reported a novel pIX phagemid display system that is characterized by a strong preference for phagemid packaging combined with low display levels, two key features that support highly efficient affinity selection. However, high diversity in selected repertoires are intimately coupled to high display levels during initial selection rounds. To incorporate this additional feature into the pIX display system, we have developed a novel helper phage termed DeltaPhage that allows for high-valence display on pIX. This was obtained by inserting two amber mutations close to the pIX start codon, but after the pVII translational stop, conditionally inactivating the helper phage encoded pIX. Until now, the general notion has been that display on pIX is dependent on wild-type complementation, making high-valence display unachievable. However, we found that DeltaPhage does facilitate high-valence pIX display when used with a non-suppressor host. Here, we report a side-by-side comparison with pIII display, and we find that this novel helper phage complements existing pIX phagemid display systems to allow both low and high-valence display, making pIX display a complete and efficient alternative to existing pIII phagemid display systems.     

Phage display of cDNA libraries: enrichment of cDNA expression using open reading frame selection

Phage display technologies are powerful tools for selecting binding ligands against purified molecular targets, live cells, and organ vasculature. However, the selection of natural ligands using phage display has been limited because of significant problems associated with the display of complex cDNA repertoires. Here we describe the use of cDNA fragmentation and open reading frame (ORF) selection to display a human placental cDNA library on the pIII coat protein of filamentous phage. The library was enriched for ORFs by selecting cDNA-beta-lactamase fusion proteins on ampicillin, resulting in a cDNA population having 97% ORFs. The ORF-selected cDNAs were fused to pIII in the phagemid vector, pUCMG4CT-198, and the library was rescued with a pIII-deleted helper phage for multivalent display. The resulting phagemid particle library consisted of 87% ORFs, compared to only 6% ORFs when prepared without ORF selection. Western blot analysis indicated cDNA-pIII fusion protein expression in eight out of nine ORF clones tested, and seven of the ORF encoded peptides were displayed multivalently. The high level of cDNA expression obtained by ORF selection suggests that ORF-enriched phage cDNA libraries prepared by these methods will be useful as functional genomics tools for identifying natural ligands from various source tissues.     

Novel helper phage design: intergenic region affects the assembly of bacteriophages and the size of antibody libraries

Abstract Phagemid vectors for display of proteins/peptides on the surface of filamentous phage utilize a plasmid genome carrying the phage origin of replication, along with the gene fused to a fragment of gene III. Generation of phage particles displaying the fusion protein also requires superinfection of the host bacterium with a helper virus. We describe here the construction of a new gene III mutant of M13 KO7 bacteriophage and compare its ability to act as helper phage with two mutants derived from Fd tet (fKN 16 and fCA 55). Furthermore, we investigate their capability to act as helper phages in SAP selection, where non-infectious helper phage, expressing antibody fragments but not protein 3, can still infect by first reacting with a soluble antigen-protein 3 fusion protein. Gene III mutants were found to be non-infectious, and high titers of infective particles were obtained only when the helper phage was grown in cells harbouring a gene III-containing plasmid. An amplification of the phage titer of 10⁶× was achieved in M13-derived phages, when used for the selection of specific antibody fragments.
