Description

Cell surface display method utilizing animal defensin to fuse heterologous protein
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a technology for displaying heterologous proteins on the surfaces of escherichia coli and pichia pastoris cells.
Background
Display technology for anchoring heterologous proteins on the cell surface is widely used in the fields of drug screening, biocatalysis, biosensors, etc. as it can be applied to almost all types of organisms (Park, m. Surface display technology for biosensor applications: a review.2020). The core of the technology is to fuse the target protein gene sequence with a specific carrier gene sequence, introduce the target protein gene sequence into a receptor cell, and express and anchor the target protein on the cell surface by utilizing a protein transport mechanism in the receptor cell. Commonly used E.coli transporters include ice nucleoprotein and S-layer proteins (bloom et al decoding microbes: surface display of proteins on Escherichia coll.2011). However, the general surface display technology for prokaryotic/eukaryotic systems has not been developed due to the highly receptor cell-dependent protein transport mechanisms.
Defensins are cationic antibacterial peptides rich in disulfide bonds, are widely distributed in fungi, plants and animals, and are important regulatory molecules with direct sterilization function in biological immune systems. The defensin sterilization mechanism is mainly related to the cell membrane structure of microorganisms: positively charged defensin molecules or multimers thereof can interact with negatively charged phospholipids and water molecules on cell membranes to increase the permeability of the biofilm, resulting in leakage of the cell contents. By mimicking this property of defensins, some peptide polymers have been developed which are very effective in killing drug resistant bacteria (Zhang et al host defense peptide mimicking cyclic peptoid polymers exerting strong activity against drug-resistance bacteria 2022). There is no report on the application of defensins in cell surface display technology.
