Cell Surface Targeting (we’re actually trying it!) Lewis Hahn Perry Tsai June 26, 2006 Outline • Expressing Streptavidin at the E. coli cell surface – Two display options – Why it might work! (More about streptavidin) • Creating a DNA-DNA interface with the cell surface – What others have done – Our plans Expressing Streptavidin at the E. coli cell surface Two display options • GPI-anchor • Beta autotransporter GPI-anchor • Jung et al. 1998 – expressed levansucrase (400 amino acids) – Fused to C-terminus of Inp Autodisplay • Jose 1997 (and 1999,2000,2001,…) • Beta autotransporter • Originally used with AIDA-I (adhesininvolved-in-diffuse-adherence) Autodisplay mechanism (Jose 1996) Why it might work Creating a DNA-DNA interface with the cell surface Previous work • Tahiri-Alaoui et al. 2002 RNA-RNA “Adaptamer” CopA-CopT (Kolb 2000) CopA-CopT (Kolb 2000) Many options • To start: work in solution. • New interfaces? – Secondary structure design? • New Targets? Other targets • Dwarakanath et al. 2002 – DNA Aptamer to LPS Summary • A lot of building blocks are already there – Streptavidin fusion protein • GPI anchor • Beta-autotransporter – DNA-DNA or RNA-RNA interface • Adaptamer • New interfaces, new aptamers Major Question Will people talk to us?
