    Notes: The immobilization of recombinant staphylococci onto cellulose fibers through surface display of a fungal cellulose-binding domain (CBD) was investigated. Chimeric proteins containing the CBD from Trichoderma reesei cellulase Cel6A were found to be correctly targeted to the cell wall of Staphylococcus carnosus cells, since full-length proteins could be extracted and affinity-purified. Furthermore, surface accessibility of the CBD was verified using a monoclonal antibody and functionality in terms of cellulose-binding was demonstrated in two different assays in which recombinant staphylococci were found to efficiently bind to cotton fibers. The implications of this strategy of directed immobilization for the generation of whole-cell microbial tools for different applications will be discussed.

    Vector engineering to improve a staphylococcal surface display system (2002)

    Notes: A previously developed expression system for surface display of heterologous proteins on the surface of Staphylococcus carnosus employs the secretion signals from a Staphylococcus hyicus lipase and the cell wall anchoring part of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) to achieve surface display of expressed recombinant proteins. The system has been successfully used in various applications but the vector has not been considered genetically stable enough to allow protein library display applications, which would be of obvious interest. A new set of vectors, differing in size and devoid of a phage f1 origin of replication, were constructed and evaluated in terms of bacterial growth characteristics and vector stability. Furthermore, surface expression of a model surface protein was monitored by an enzymatic whole-cell assay and flow cytometry. The engineered expression vectors demonstrated dramatically improved stability and growth properties and two of the novel vectors demonstrated retained high surface density of the displayed model protein. The flow cytometry was found to be a powerful tool for observing the surface density of displayed heterologous proteins, and would thus be a rational strategy for monitoring the optimisation of any surface display system. The implications of these improved display vectors for future protein library applications are discussed.

    Notes: We have investigated a staphylococcal surface display system for its potential future use as a protein library display system in combinatorial biochemistry. Efficient affinity-based selections require a system capable of fine affinity discrimination of closely related binders to minimize the loss of potentially improved variants. In this study, a significant breakthrough was achieved to avoid biases due to potential cell-to-cell variations in surface expression levels, since it was found that a generic protein tag, present within the displayed recombinant surface proteins on the cells, could be successfully employed to obtain normalization of the target-binding signal. Four mutated variants of a staphylococcal protein A domain with different affinity to human IgG were successfully expressed on the surface of recombinant Staphylococcus carnosus cells. The system was evaluated for affinity-based cell sorting experiments, where cell-displayed protein A domains with an 8-fold difference in target affinity were mixed at a ratio of 1:1000 and sorted using FACS. Enrichment factors around 140-fold were obtained from a single round of sorting under normal library sorting conditions when the top 0.1% fraction having the highest antigen binding to surface expression level ratio was sorted. The results demonstrate that the system would have a potential as a selection system in protein library display applications, and the normalization strategy should indeed make it possible to achieve fine affinity discriminations in future library selections.
