Bacteriophage T4 capsid as a nanocarrier for Peptide-N-Glycosidase F immobilization through self-assembly.

ABSTRACT: Enzyme immobilization is widely applied in biocatalysis to improve stability and facilitate recovery and reuse of enzymes. However, high cost of supporting materials and laborious immobilization procedures has limited its industrial application and commercialization. In this study, we report a novel self-assembly immobilization system using bacteriophage T4 capsid as a nanocarrier. The system utilizes the binding sites of the small outer capsid protein, Soc, on the T4 capsid. Enzymes as Soc fusions constructed with regular molecular cloning technology expressed at the appropriate time during phage assembly and self-assembled onto the capsids. The proof of principle experiment was carried out by immobilizing ?-galactosidase, and the system was successfully applied to the immobilization of an important glycomics enzyme, Peptide-N-Glycosidase F. Production of Peptide-N-Glycosidase F and simultaneous immobilization was finished within seven hours. Characterizations of the immobilized Peptide-N-Glycosidase F indicated high retention of activity and well reserved deglycosylation capacity. The immobilized Peptide-N-Glycosidase F was easily recycled by centrifugation and exhibited good stability that sustained five repeated uses. This novel system uses the self-amplified T4 capsid as the nanoparticle-type of supporting material, and operates with a self-assembly procedure, making it a simple and low-cost enzyme immobilization technology with promising application potentials.

Project description:Phage T4 has provided countless contributions to the paradigms of genetics and biochemistry. Its complete genome sequence of 168,903 bp encodes about 300 gene products. T4 biology and its genomic sequence provide the best-understood model for modern functional genomics and proteomics. Variations on gene expression, including overlapping genes, internal translation initiation, spliced genes, translational bypassing, and RNA processing, alert us to the caveats of purely computational methods. The T4 transcriptional pattern reflects its dependence on the host RNA polymerase and the use of phage-encoded proteins that sequentially modify RNA polymerase; transcriptional activator proteins, a phage sigma factor, anti-sigma, and sigma decoy proteins also act to specify early, middle, and late promoter recognition. Posttranscriptional controls by T4 provide excellent systems for the study of RNA-dependent processes, particularly at the structural level. The redundancy of DNA replication and recombination systems of T4 reveals how phage and other genomes are stably replicated and repaired in different environments, providing insight into genome evolution and adaptations to new hosts and growth environments. Moreover, genomic sequence analysis has provided new insights into tail fiber variation, lysis, gene duplications, and membrane localization of proteins, while high-resolution structural determination of the "cell-puncturing device," combined with the three-dimensional image reconstruction of the baseplate, has revealed the mechanism of penetration during infection. Despite these advances, nearly 130 potential T4 genes remain uncharacterized. Current phage-sequencing initiatives are now revealing the similarities and differences among members of the T4 family, including those that infect bacteria other than Escherichia coli. T4 functional genomics will aid in the interpretation of these newly sequenced T4-related genomes and in broadening our understanding of the complex evolution and ecology of phages-the most abundant and among the most ancient biological entities on Earth.
