    Notes: Abstract We have selected the Streptoalloteichus hindustanus bleomycin-resistance protein ShBle, a 28-kDa homodimer, as a scaffold for the display of bioactive peptides and other peptide epitopes. To create a monomeric scaffold, we investigated the effect of mutating residue proline 9 to glycine. This residue plays a critical role in ShBle dimerization by affecting the position of the eight N-terminal residues which secure the interaction between the monomeric subunits. We demonstrate that this mutation weakens the dimerization interaction, resulting in establishment of a stable equilibrium between monomeric and dimeric ShBle species in solution. Circular dichroism and SDS–PAGE data indicate that the Pro9Gly mutation does not disrupt the structure of the molecule. Production of a fully monomeric form of ShBle required complete removal of the eight-residue N-terminal peptide, and the interaction across the now solvent-exposed hydrophobic interface of the ShBle monomer was insufficient to drive dimerization. To demonstrate efficient display of epitope tags on the ShBle protein, we displayed dual-octapeptide FLAG tags at the protein C-terminus. These additions did not interfere with protein folding or activity. The resulting ShBle scaffold was used to compare the efficiency of two commercial FLAG-specific antibodies by biosensor.

    Notes: Abstract The VH domain of anti-influenza neuraminidase antibody NC41, with and without a C-terminal hydrophilic marker peptide (FLAGTM), has been expressed in high yield (15–27 mg/L) inEscherichia coli. Both forms were secreted into the periplasm where they formed insoluble aggregates which were solubilized quantitatively with 2 M guanidine hydrochloride and purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography. The VH-FLAG was composed of three isoforms (pI values of ∼4.6, 4.9, and 5.3) and the VH molecule was composed of two isoforms with pI values of 5.1 and 6.7; the difference between the VH isoforms was shown to be due to cyclization of the N-terminal glutamine residue in the pI 5.1 isoform. At 20°C and concentrations of 5–10mg/ml the VH domain dimerized in solution and then partly precipitated, resulting in the broadening of resonances in its1H NMR spectrum. Reagents such as CHAPS,n-octylglucoside, and ethylene glycol, which presumably mask the exposed hydrophobic interface of the VH molecule, prevented dimerization of the VH and permitted good-quality NMR spectra on isotope-labeled protein to be obtained.
