Fusion expression of nanobodies specific for the insecticide fipronil on magnetosomes in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic nanoparticles such as magnetosomes modified with antibodies allow a high probability of their interaction with targets of interest. Magnetosomes biomineralized by magnetotactic bacteria are in homogeneous nanoscale size and have crystallographic structure, and high thermal and colloidal stability. Camelidae derived nanobodies (Nbs) are small in size, thermal stable, highly water soluble, easy to produce, and fusible with magnetosomes. We aimed to functionalize Nb-magnetosomes for the analysis of the insecticide fipronil.

Results

Three recombinant magnetotactic bacteria (CF, CF+?, and CFFF) biomineralizing magnetosomes with different abundance of Nbs displayed on the surface were constructed. Compared to magnetosomes from the wild type Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1, all of the Nb-magnetosomes biosynthesized by strains CF, CF+?, and CFFF showed a detectable level of binding capability to fipronil-horseradish peroxidase (H2-HRP), but none of them recognized free fipronil. The Nb-magnetosomes from CFFF were oxidized with H₂O₂ or a glutathione mixture consisting of reduced glutathione and oxidized glutathione in vitro and their binding affinity to H2-HRP was decreased, whereas that to free fipronil was enhanced. The magnetosomes treated with the glutathione mixture were employed to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of fipronil in water samples, with average recoveries in a range of 78-101%.

Conclusions

The economical and environmental-friendly Nb-magnetosomes biomineralized by the bacterial strain MSR-1 can be potentially applied to nanobody-based immunoassays for the detection of fipronil or nanobody-based assays in general.

Project description:The bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 forms nanosized membrane-enclosed organelles termed magnetosomes. The mamXY operon, part of the magnetosome island (MAI), includes the mamY, mamX, mamZ, and ftsZ-like genes, which initiate gene transcription via the same promoter. We used a combination of molecular biological techniques (targeting of cross-linking reagents) and high-resolution mass spectrometry to investigate the coordinated activity of the four MamXY proteins in magnetite biomineralization. The FtsZ-like protein was shown by confocal laser scanning microscopy to be dispersed in the cytoplasm in the early stage of cell growth and then gradually polymerized along the magnetosome chain. Interactions of various pairs of MamXY proteins were observed using a bacterial two-hybrid system. We constructed a recombinant FtsZ-like-overexpressing strain, examined its growth patterns, and extracted magnetosome membrane proteins using a modified SDS/boiling method with BS2G-d0/d4 reagent, which helped stabilize interactions among MamXY proteins. In liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, MamY expression was detected first and remained highest among the four proteins throughout all stages of cell growth. MamX and MamZ expression was detected subsequently. The four proteins displayed coordinated expression patterns during the magnetosome maturation process. Unique peptides discovered in the MamXY protein sequences appeared to constitute "hidden" interaction sites involved in the formation of MamXY complex that helped control magnetosome shape and size.IMPORTANCE mamXY operon genes play an essential role in magnetite biomineralization, participate in redox reactions, and control magnetosome shape and size. However, mechanisms whereby the four MamXY proteins function together in iron oxidoreduction and transport are poorly understood. We used a combination of targeted cross-linking techniques and high-resolution mass spectrometry to elucidate the coordinated activity patterns of the MamXY proteins during magnetite biomineralization. Our findings indicate that the FtsZ-like protein undergoes polymerization and then recruits MamY, MamX, and MamZ in turn, and that these interactions depend on unique peptides present in the protein sequences. A hypothetical model of the functionalities of these proteins is proposed that accounts for the findings and provides a basis for further studies of coordination among magnetosome island (MAI) gene clusters during the process of magnetosome formation.
