蛋白質工程於生物技術 之應用與發展 Protein Engineering Applications and Progress in Biotechnology Protein Functions Structure Structural support: collagen (膠原蛋白) Transport Hemoglobin (血紅素): transports oxygen from the lungs to cells Storage Myoglobin (肌紅蛋白): stores oxygen in muscles Hormones Insulin (胰島素): protein hormone controls blood glucose level Enzymes (酵素) Alcohol dehydrogenase (醇脫氫酶) that breaks down alcohols Proteins Protein is synthesized via the following processes: DNA Gene RNA Protein Function Each protein is made from the 20 standard amino acids and fold into a specific 3-D structure.

M. (1983) “Protein Engineering”, Science, 219: 666-671. Deliberate design and production of proteins with novel or altered structure and properties, that are not found in natural proteins. Why Engineering Proteins ? To study protein structure and function Applications in industry (enzymes) and medicine (drugs) -- New and improved proteins are always wanted. Example: Extremophilic proteins have been found in nature (temperatures, salt concentrations, pH values) could be useful. Factors that make the proteins from thermophilic microorganisms more stable Thermophilic enzymes usually exhibit optimal activity at a higher temperature than the mesophilic enzymes. No general rules revealed (the best way is to measure experimentally). General features of the thermostable enzymes: Increase of compactness and better packing Increase in electrostatic interactions (with the formation of additional ion pairs) Additional H-bonds Additional disulphide bridges Increasing internal hydrophobic interactions. Methods for protein engineering Chemical or Genetic? Chemical modifications -- in vitro engineering One of the first way and a re-emerged method for altering protein properties. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification of protein surface amino groups reduces immunoreactivity, prolongs clearance times, improve biostability, increase the solubility and activity of enzymes in organic solvents. DeSantis, G. and Jones, J.B. (1999) “Chemical modification of enzymes for enhanced functionality”, Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 10(4):324-330 Genetic modification -- in vivo engineering Genes (DNA) encoding proteins are mutagenized DNA RNA Protein Irrational engineering (random mutagenesis) and rational engineering (site-directed mutagenesis) PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction Proteins with new properties can be obtained by random mutagenesis DNA in cells are randomly mutated: chemical mutagens (e.g., hydroxyamine, sodium bisulfite), enzymatic synthesis, mutagenic strains of bacteria (with deficient repairing systems). Can be applied when the current theories are inadequate to predict which structural changes will give improvement on certain property. Appropriate procedures for screening or selecting for desired properties are needed Protein could be made to evolve in vitro DNA shuffling: in vitro homologous recombination and in vitro protein evolution. Random mutagenesis by error-prone PCR(with excess of one dNTP) to generate diversity of templates (naturally occurring homologous genes can also be used). Selection under increasing selective pressures (antibiotics, pH, organic solvent). Combination with High-throughput screening DNA shuffling: a method for in vitro homologous recombination between mutant genes. In shuffling, the products are degraded to random small fragments with DNAse I. x x x DNAse I x x x x x Then full-length sequences are re-assembled by enzymatic DNA synthesis Denature, reanneal, enzymatic DNA synthesis x x x x Some products consist of full-length sequences containing several mutations. Recombinants with improved functions are selected Example: Development of novel -lactamases with increased activity towards certain substrates. The -lactam antibiotic cefotaxime is poorly hydrolysed by TEM -lactamase. Mutant -lactamase genes were shuffled to produce new recombinant genes. The 1st round of shuffling yielded enzymes conferring resistance to 0.32 - 0.64 g/ml cefotaxime. Shuffling of these genes yielded enzymes resistant to 5 to 10 g/ml. A 3rd round of shuffling yielded enzymes resistant to 640 g/ml cefotaxime. Sequencing of cefotaximeR genes revealed several point mutations. Six AA replacements were found to confer the high resistance phenotype.

Screened for the brightest E.coli colonies (using UV light). After 3 cycles of DNA shuffling, a mutant was obtained with 45-fold greater fluorescence.

Interesting Examples? "Fluorescent Timer": Protein That Changes Color with Time A fluorescent protein that changes color with time was generated from the red fluorescent protein (RFP) Science, 24 November, 2000, Vol.290:1585-1599. The RFP gene was mutated by error-prone PCR. Mutants exhibiting a green intermediate fluorescence were screened visually by using a fluorescent microscope. Mutants with various properties, such as faster maturation, double emission (green and red), or exclusive green fluorescence were isolated. One mutant protein (E5) changes color over time: initially bright green, then to yellow, orange, and finally red. E5 has two replacements: V105A and S197T. Time course of green and red fluorescence in E5 RFP (in vitro analysis). E5 used as a fluorescent clock: heat shockregulated expression of the E5 mutant RFP in C. elegans.
