SpyTag/SpyCatcher cyclization and covalent immobilization in enhancing cephalosporin C acylase stability

A SpyRing cyclized cephalosporin C acylase (SRCCA) was obtained by fusing SpyTag and SpyCatcher to the N- and C- termini of cephalosporin C acylase (CCA), respectively. The results suggested that the introduction of the SpyRing (head-to-tail cyclization via SpyTag and SpyCatcher) did not affect the active center of the SRCCA (the specific activities of CCA and SRCCA are 15.71 U/mg and 13.11 U/mg, respectively). Also, the thermostability, organic solvents tolerance, and denaturant tolerance of the free enzyme SRCCA were improved. Since glyoxyl agarose carrier favors the covalent immobilization of enzymes through its surface regions having the highest lysine residues density, SRCCA permitted its multipoint and oriented immobilization because SpyRing is very rich in Lys residues, while CCA is quite poor in Lys residues and immobilization is via less enzyme support-bonds. When the enzyme loading amount was 10 mg/g carrier, the expressed activity of SRCCA was 22 % higher than that of CCA. The stability of the immobilized SRCCA was also significantly improved; the half-life of the immobilized SRCCA at 50 °C was 125 min, which was about 5 times the half-life of the immobilized CCA.     

Oriented immobilization of stem bromelain via the lone histidine on a metal affinity support

Bromelain is a basic, 23.8 kDa thiol proteinase obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) and is unique for it contains a single histidine residue (His-158) in the polypeptide. Based on the technology of protein separation with immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), a method for oriented immobilization of bromelain was selected. Bromelain was successfully immobilized on iminodiacetic acid carrier Sepharose 6B. Cu²⁺ complexed with iminodiacetate (IDA) was used as the chelating ligand to bind the lone histidine on bromelain. Simultaneously, preparation of a high affinity immobilized preparation was attempted using a soluble cross-linked preparation of bromelain on Cu-IDA-Sepharose. However this second method proved unsuccessful, possibly due to poor histidine accessibility in the cross-linked preparation. The immobilized preparation obtained using uncrosslinked bromelain was more resistant to thermal inactivation, as evidenced by retention of over enzyme 50% activity after incubation at 60 °C, as compared to 20% retained by the native enzyme. The immobilized preparation also exhibited a broader pH-activity profile in acidic range. The native, immobilized and soluble cross-linked bromelain showed apparent Michaelis constant (K_m) values of 1.08, 0.42, 1.56 mg/ml, respectively, using casein as the substrate. While the maximum velocity (V_max) values of the soluble and immobilized preparations were comparable, cross-linked preparation showed a 20% decrease, suggesting inactivation. The mild conditions used for predominantly oriented immobilization exploiting the unique property of single histidine, the high recovery of immobilized preparations, the stability, reusability and the regenerability of the matrix are the main features of the method reported here.     

Oriented immobilization of biologically active proteins as a tool for revealing protein interactions and function

The advantages of oriented immobilization of biologically active proteins are good steric accessibilities of active binding sites and increased stability. This not only may help to increase the production of preparative procedures but is likely to promote current knowledge about how the living cells or tissues operate. Protein inactivation starts with the unfolding of the protein molecule by the contact of water with hydrophobic clusters located on the surface of protein molecules, which results in ice-like water structure. Reduction of the nonpolar surface area by the formation of a suitable biospecifc complex or by use of carbohydrate moieties thus may stabilize proteins. This review discusses oriented immobilization of antibodies by use of immobilized protein A or G. The section about oriented immobilization of proteins by use of their suitable antibodies covers immobilization of enzymes utilizing their adsorption on suitable immunosorbents prepared using monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, preparation of bioaffinity adsorbent for the isolation of concanavalin A and immobilization of antibodies by use of antimouse immunoglobulin G, Fc-specific (i.e. specific towards the constant region of the molecule). In the further section immobilization of antibodies and enzymes through their carbohydrate moieties is described. Oriented immobilization of proteins can be also based on the use of boronate affinity gel or immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography technique. Biotin–avidin or streptavidin techniques are mostly used methods for oriented immobilization. Site-specific attachment of proteins to the surface of solid supports can be also achieved by enzyme, e.g., subtilisin, after introduction a single cysteine residue by site-directed mutagenesis.     

Active site titration as a tool for the evaluation of immobilization procedures of penicillin acylase

Native and immobilized preparations of penicillin acylase from Escherichia coli and Alcaligenes faecalis were studied using an active site titration technique. Knowledge of the number of active sites allowed the calculation of the average turnover rate of the enzyme in the various preparations and allowed us to quantify the contribution of irreversible inactivation of the enzyme to the loss of catalytic activity during the immobilization procedure. In most cases a loss of active sites as well as a decrease of catalytic activity per active site (turnover rate) was observed upon immobilization. Immobilization techniques affected the enzymes differently. The effect of increased loading of penicillin acylase on the average turnover rate was determined by active site titration to assess diffusion limitations in the carrier.     

Protected immobilization of Taq DNA polymerase by active site masking on self-assembled monolayers of ω-functionalized thiols

A new efficient immobilization method that enables oriented immobilization of biologically active proteins was developed based on concepts of active site masking and kinetic control. Taq DNA polymerase was immobilized covalently on mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of ω-carboxylated thiol and ω-hydroxylated thiol through amide bonds between the protein and the carboxyl group in SAMs. Activity of the immobilized enzyme as large as 70% of solution-phase enzyme was achieved by masking the active site of the Taq DNA polymerase prior to the immobilization. In addition, the number of immobilization bonds was controlled by optimizing the carboxyl group concentration in the mixed monolayer. The maximum activity of immobilized Taq DNA polymerase was achieved at 5% of 12-mercaptododecanoic acid. The activity observed with protected immobilized enzyme was approximately 20 times higher than that observed with randomly immobilized enzyme. The maximum activity was acquired at a 1:1 DNA/enzyme masking ratio, immobilization pH 8.3, and within 10 min of reaction time. This concept of the active site masking and kinetic control of the number of covalent bonds between proteins and the surface can be generally applicable to a broad range of proteins to be immobilized on the solid surface with higher activity.     

Directed self‐immobilization of alkaline phosphatase on micro‐patterned substrates via genetically fused metal‐binding peptide

Current biotechnological applications such as biosensors, protein arrays, and microchips require oriented immobilization of enzymes. The characteristics of recognition, self‐assembly and ease of genetic manipulation make inorganic binding peptides an ideal molecular tool for site‐specific enzyme immobilization. Herein, we demonstrate the utilization of gold binding peptide (GBP1) as a molecular linker genetically fused to alkaline phosphatase (AP) and immobilized on gold substrate. Multiple tandem repeats (n = 5, 6, 7, 9) of gold binding peptide were fused to N‐terminus of AP (nGBP1‐AP) and the enzymes were expressed in E. coli cells. The binding and enzymatic activities of the bi‐functional fusion constructs were analyzed using quartz crystal microbalance spectroscopy and biochemical assays. Among the multiple‐repeat constructs, 5GBP1‐AP displayed the best bi‐functional activity and, therefore, was chosen for self‐immobilization studies. Adsorption and assembly properties of the fusion enzyme, 5GBP1‐AP, were studied via surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. We demonstrated self‐immobilization of the bi‐functional enzyme on micro‐patterned substrates where genetically linked 5GBP1‐AP displayed higher enzymatic activity per area compared to that of AP. Our results demonstrate the promising use of inorganic binding peptides as site‐specific molecular linkers for oriented enzyme immobilization with retained activity. Directed assembly of proteins on solids using genetically fused specific inorganic‐binding peptides has a potential utility in a wide range of biosensing and bioconversion processes. Biotechnol.

A new generation approach in enzyme immobilization: Organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers with enhanced catalytic activity and stability

Many different micro and nano sized materials have been used for enzymes immobilization in order to increase their catalytic activity and stability. Generally, immobilized enzymes with conventional immobilization techniques exhibit improved stability while their activity is lowered compared to free enzymes. Recently, an elegant immobilization approach was discovered in synthesis of flower-like organic-inorganic hybrid nanostructures with extraordinary catalytic activity and stability. In this novel immobilization strategy, proteins (enzymes) and metal ions acted as organic and inorganic components, respectively to form hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs). It is demonstrated that the hNFs highly enhanced catalytic activities and stability in a wide range of experimental conditions (pHs, temperatures and salt concentration, etc.) compared to free and conventionally immobilized enzymes. This review mainly discussed the synthesis, characterization, development and applications of organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers formed of various enzymes and metal ions and explained potential mechanism underlying enhanced catalytic activity and stability.     

Immobilization of immunoglobulin-G-binding domain of Protein A on a gold surface modified with biotin ligase

Protein A from Staphylococcus aureus specifically binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is widely used as a scaffold for the immobilization of IgG antibodies on solid supports. It is known that the oriented immobilization of Protein A on solid supports enhances its antibody-binding capability in comparison with immobilization in a random manner. In the current work, we developed a novel method for the oriented immobilization of the IgG-binding domain of Protein A based on the biotinylation reaction from archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii. Biotinylation from S. tokodaii has a unique property in that the enzyme, biotin protein ligase (BPL), forms a stable complex with its biotinylated substrate protein, biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP). Here, BCCP was fused to the IgG-binding domain of Protein A, and the resulting fusion protein was immobilized on the BPL-modified gold surface of the sensor chip for quartz crystal microbalance through complexation between BCCP and BPL. The layer of the IgG-binding domain prepared in this way successfully captured the antibody, and the captured antibody retained high antigen-binding capability.     

Oriented and selective enzyme immobilization on functionalized silica carrier using the cationic binding module Z basic2: design of a heterogeneous D-amino acid oxidase catalyst on porous glass

D-amino acid oxidase from Trigonopsis variabilis (TvDAO) is applied in industry for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. Because free TvDAO is extremely sensitive to exposure to gas-liquid interfaces, biocatalytic processing is usually performed with enzyme immobilizates that offer enhanced stability under bubble aeration. We herein present an "Immobilization by Design" approach that exploits engineered charge complementarity between enzyme and carrier to optimize key features of the immobilization of TvDAO. A fusion protein between TvDAO and the positively charged module Z(basic2) was generated, and a corresponding oppositely charged carrier was obtained by derivatization of mesoporous glass with 3-(trihydroxysilyl)-1-propane-sulfonic acid. Using 250 mM NaCl for charge screening at pH 7.0, the Z(basic2) fusion of TvDAO was immobilized directly from E. coli cell extract with almost absolute selectivity and full retention of catalytic effectiveness of the isolated enzyme in solution. Attachment of the homodimeric enzyme to the carrier was quasi-permanent in low-salt buffer but fully reversible upon elution with 5 M NaCl. Immobilized TvDAO was not sensitive to bubble aeration and received substantial (≥ tenfold) stabilization of the activity at 45°C as compared to free enzyme, suggesting immobilization via multisubunit oriented interaction of enzyme with the insoluble carrier. The Z(basic2) enzyme immobilizate was demonstrated to serve as re-usable heterogeneous catalyst for D-amino acid oxidation. Z(basic2) -mediated binding on a sulfonic acid group-containing glass carrier constitutes a generally useful strategy of enzyme immobilization that supports transition from case-specific empirical development to rational design.
