- scFv single-chain variable fragment
- V H and V L covalently linked variable domains
- One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of identifying a protein that binds to a target molecule and has intracellular functionality.

Since stalled proteins undergo folding in the cytoplasm, it is relatively straightforward and inexpensive to optimize in vivo folding conditions by co-expressing potent molecular chaperones and/or isomerases.
- the present invention can be used for protein engineering experiments (i.e. by random mutagenesis) under conditions where the cellular environment is tuned to better suit the specific folding requirements of a particular target protein.
- the present invention can also be combined with in vitro/in vivo selection strategies for protein engineering via ribosome display.
- Example 1 Bacterial Strains and Plasmids.
- E. colt strain BL21(DE3) was used throughout except for in vivo ⁇ -gal activation experiments where the E, coli 959 strain was used which carries the AMEF ⁇ -gal gene (Martineau et al., "Expression of an Antibody Fragment at High Levels in the Bacterial Cytoplasm," JMoI Biol 280: 1 17-27 (1998), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). Plasmids encoding the SecM stall sequence fusions were constructed as follows.
- a 285-nucleotide segment of the secM gene containing the 17-amino acid stall sequence (FSTPVWISQAQGIRAGP (SEQ ID NO: I)), plus additional downstream regions, was amplified from plasmid pNH21 by PCR using primers (S'-CTCATGGTCGACTTCAGCACGCCCGTCTGG-S' (SEQ ID NO: 5)) and (5'- CTCATGCTCGAGTTAAAGCTTCTGCGCAACTGTTGGGAAGC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 6)) to introduce a SaIi restriction site at the 5' end and an Xhol-Hin ⁇ lM restriction site at the 3 'end.
- This PCR product was Sall-Xhol digested and Iigated into the same sites of pET28a (Novagen). Second, removal of the additional SecM downstream regions performed by introducing a Hin ⁇ lll restriction site immediately after the 17-residue stall sequence using site-directed mutagenesis (Stratagene QuikChange ® Kit) and primers (5'- GGCATCCGTGCTGGCCCTAAGCTTCAACGCCTCACCTAACAA-S' (SEQ ID NO: 7) and 5'-
- Each PCR product was digested with TVcoI and Sail and Iigated into jVcoI-S ⁇ /I-digested pET- SecM to yield the intermediate constructs pET-scFvl B-SecMiy and pET-scFvl3-R4- SecMl 7'.
- a Sad restriction site was inserted immediately before the Sail restriction site using QuikChange ® and primers (5'-
- This PCR product was Sacl-S all-digested and ligated into similarly digested pET-scFvl3-SecM 17' or ⁇ ET-scFvl3-R4-SecM17'.
- the additional NDPK sequence was excised by first inserting an EcoRl restriction site before the NDPK sequence using QuikChange ® and primers (5'- GTGCCGCGCGGCAGCCATGAATTCATGCATGCTATAAATATTGC-S ' (SEQ ID NO: 16) and 5'- GCAATATTTATAGCATGCATGAATTCATGGCTGCCGCGCGGCAC-S' (SEQ ID NO: 17)).
- Plasmids encoding the unfused scFv sequences were constructed by amplifying the scFvB (or the scFvl 3 variants Rl, R2 and R4) sequence by PCR from plasmids pPM163, pPM163-Rl , pPM163-R2, and pPM163-R4 (Martineau et al., "Expression of an Antibody Fragment at High Levels in the Bacterial Cytoplasm," J MoI Biol 280: 117-27 (1998), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety) with primers (5'- GCGATGCCATGGCCGACTACAAGGACGATGACGACAAGGGAGCCGAGGT GCAGCTG -3' (SEQ ID NO: 20) and 5'-
- GCGATGGAGCTCTTATGCGGCCCCATTCAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 21 )) that introduce a FLAG epitope tag and an Ncol restriction site at the 5 'end and a Sad restriction site at the 3 'end.
- This PCR product was digested with Ncol and Sad and ligated into similarly digested pET28a.
- a library of random mutants was constructed by error-prone PCR of the scFvl 3 gene sequence using pET-scFvl3-SecM17 as template and skewing the nucleotide and magnesium concentrations as described (DeLisa et al., "Genetic Analysis of the Twin Arginine Translocator Secretion Pathway in Bacteria," J Biol Chem 277: 29825-31 (2002) and Fromant et al., "Direct Random Mutagenesis of Gene-Sized DNA Fragments Using Polymerase Chain Reaction," Anal Biochem 224:347-53 (1995), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety) to generate a 1.5% error-rate library. Error-prone PCR products were amplified with using primers
- cloni ExpressTM BL21(DE3) cells (Lucigen) and serial dilutions of these cells were plated on kanamycin (50 ⁇ g/ml) to determine the number of independent transformants. Transformed ceils were selected on LB plates containing kanamycin (50 ⁇ g/ml). Library cells were pooled, cultured, and induced for scFv expression prior to isolation of ribosomes for panning and selection experiments.
- Example 3 Cell Fractionation.
- Cells transformed with the pET28a-derived scFv constructs were grown in 10-ml cultures at 37 0 C in Luria-Bertani (LB) supplemented with kanamycin (50 ⁇ g/ml). Protein synthesis was induced by adding 1 mM isopropyl- ⁇ -D- thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) when cells reached to mid log phase (OD($ ⁇ r-0.5). Cells were harvested after 1 hour of induction and pelleted by centrifugation for 15 min at 4 0 C and 3,500 rpm.
- IPTG isopropyl- ⁇ -D- thiogalactopyranoside
- the soluble fraction was prepared by resuspending the pellet in 300 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution followed by sonication (Branson Sonifier). The sonicant was spun for 15 min at 4 0 C and 1,300 rpm and the resulting supernatant was collected as the soluble fraction.
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- Ribosomes were isolated according to a procedure modified from Evans et al., "Homogeneous Stalled Ribosome Nascent Chain Complexes Produced in vivo or in vitro," Nat Methods 2:757-62 (2005), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Specifically, 100-ml cultures grown as above were induced with 1 niM IPTG at an OD600-0.5 and grown at 30 0 C for an additional 30 min.
- Buffer C (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 50 mM NH 4 Cl, 25 mM MgCh) ice cubes were added to each culture flask, rapidly shaken for 1 min on ice, and incubated on ice for an additional 30 min. Next, cells were pelleted by centrifugation as above and resuspended in 600 ⁇ l of cold Buffer C.
- ribosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation for 35 h at 24,000 rpm and 4 0 C using a Beckman LS 8 ultracentrifuge with an SW28 rotor.
- the crude ribosome pellet was resuspended in 200 ⁇ l Buffer C and ultracentrifuged in a 10 to 40% (w/v) sucrose gradient in Buffer A (20 nM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 100 mM NH 4 Cl, 25 mM MgCl 2 ) for 17 h at 22,000 rpm and 4°C in a SW41 rotor. Gradient fractionation was performed manually by pipetting 250 ⁇ l at a time from the top part of the gradient. All collected samples were stored at 4°C for further analysis.
- a 96-well BD FALCON plate was coated with 65 ⁇ l of 1 mg/ml ⁇ -gal
- GCGATGGAGCTCTTATGCGGCCCCATTCAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 24), which binds the 3' end of scFvl3 and introduces a Sad restriction site and a stop codon.
- PCR amplification was performed in a second step with the same reverse primer and forward primer 5'-
- the pellet was dried of all remaining TCA and directly resuspended in 45 ⁇ l SDS- PAGE loading buffer.
- the following primary antibodies were used with the corresponding dilution in parenthesis: mouse anti-GroEL (1 : 10,000; Sigma); mouse anti-FLAG (1 : 1,500; Stratagene).
- the secondary antibodies were goat anti-mouse and goat anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase conjugates (Promega) each diluted 1 : 10,000.
- a Bradford protein assay was performed on all samples to verify that an equal amount of total protein was loaded to each lane.
- fractions were normalized by rRNA content as measured by (see Figure 6).
- membranes were first probed with primary antibodies and, following development, stripped in Tris-buffered saline supplemented with 2% SDS and 0.7 M ⁇ -mercaptoethanol. Stripped membranes were reblocked and probed with anti-GroEL antibody.
- Example 7 - ELISA.
- Cell iysates and ribosome samples were analyzed by ELISA according to the same steps described above for ribosome panning with the following modifications: (1 ) plates were coated with 100 ⁇ l of 10 ⁇ g/ml ⁇ -ga! (Sigma) in PBS; and (2) 0.5% BSA was used instead of non-fat milk in the blocking solution. Following the washes after the samples were applied, instead of sample elution, 50 ⁇ l of anti-FLAG antibody (Stratagene) at a 1 :5,000 dilution in blocking solution was added to each well and incubated for 1 h at 4 0 C.
- anti-FLAG antibody (Stratagene)
- Strain AMEF 959 (Martineau et al., "Expression of an Antibody Fragment at High Levels in the Bacterial Cytoplasm,” J MoI Biol 280:1 17-27 ⁇ 1998), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety) was transformed with each scFvl3 variant encoded in plasmid pTrc99A.
- ⁇ - gal activity was measured using a whole cell assay modified from Arnold et a!., "Influences of Transporter Associated with Antigen Processing (TAP) on the Repertoire of Peptides Associated With the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Resident Stress Protein gp96," J Exp Med 186:461 -6 ( 1997), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Specifically, 5-bromo ⁇ 4-chloro-3-indolyl- ⁇ D- galactopyranoside (X-gal) was added in each well to a final concentration of 1 mM and absorbance at 620 nm was recorded over 4-10 h at 37°C to measure active ⁇ -gal.
- TEP Antigen Processing
- human scFv! 3 was chosen as a model. This was originally isolated by Winter and coworkers in a two-step procedure: first, in vitro phage display was used to isolate scFv binders to native E.
- 70S ribosomes were isolated (see Figure 6) from soluble proteins and other cell lysate components by sucrose cushion centrif ⁇ gation.
- ribosome preparations were probed for the presence of trigger factor (TF) which is known to dock on the ribosome near the exit tunnel (Kramer et al., "L23 Protein Functions as a Chaperone Docking Site on the Ribosome, ' ' Nature 419: 171-4 (2002), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety).
- TF trigger factor
- Ribosome-associated RNA was isolated from dissociated complexes and the mRNA encoding the scFvl3 sequence was amplified using RT-PCR using general primers that annealed to both scFvl 3 and scFvl3-R4, Remarkably, ribosome fractions corresponding to unfused scFvs yielded no distinct PCR bands whereas both the scFvl 3-SecM17 and the solubility-enhanced scFvl 3-R4- SecMl 7 constructs gave rise to a substantial PCR product corresponding in size to the full-length scFvl3 sequence (Figure 3C); sequencing of each PCR product identified these as the wt scFvl3 and scFvl 3-R4 mRNA sequences, respectively.
- PCR products were ligated into an expression plasmid that was transformed into E. coli and 10 randomly selected single clones were analyzed for each mixture to determine the identity of the plasmid-encoded scFv.
- a complete cycle of mutagenesis and screening was performed to improve the solubility of wt scFvl3.
- the resulting error- prone PCR product was ligated in-frame with the SecM stall sequence and, following transformation, a cell library containing ⁇ 5xl O 6 transformants was obtained.
- Members of this cell library were induced and ribosome fractions were prepared and screened by panning on immobilized ⁇ -gal to isolate clones exhibiting enhanced solubility relative to wt scFvl3.
- a total of twelve unique clones were obtained after only a single round of selection and each was evaluated in an unfused format (i.e., lacking the SecM stall sequence in pET28a) for soluble expression and antigen binding.
- the present intracellular display strategy is suitable to isolate any stability-enhanced antibody with binding affinity for any antigen (not limited to ⁇ -gal).
- the only requirements, which are the same for traditional in vitro ribosome display, are that the antibody fragment must be amenable to display in the context of ARM complexes and that the binding target is known and available in a purified form to allow for selection.
- intracellular ribosome display offers a number of advantages. For instance, expression and stalling of proteins on ribosomes is less technically challenging as these steps are performed entirely inside cells, requiring only an inducer (e.g., IPTG) to initiate the entire process from start to finish.
- an inducer e.g., IPTG
- bacterial cell culture but not cell-free translation, can be easily scaled to produce large quantities and high concentrations of stalled ribosome complexes that might be necessary for various applications such as making biophysical measurements using NMR.
- stalled scFvs undergo folding in the cytoplasm, it is relatively straightforward and inexpensive to optimize in vivo folding conditions by co-expressing potent molecular chaperones and/or isomerases (Jurado et al, "Production of Functional Single-Chain Fv Antibodies in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli " JMoI Biol 320:1-10 (2002) and Levy et al., "Production of
- Such a strategy would also reduce the likelihood of false positives that may arise due to undesired antibody folding upon removal of ARM complexes from the cytoplasmic environment /yr ⁇ r to the panning procedure.
- this is regulated by instantaneous cooling of the ARM complexes to 4 0 C (where the kinetics of folding are extremely slow) and by performing the biopanning step immediately after complexes are isolated.
- the ability to display a functional binding protein on ribosomes and simultaneously express its interacting partner could potentially be used to engineer and even block protein-protein interactions inside cells.
- intracellular ribosome display is a powerful complementary method to in vitro ribosome display for the directed evolution of proteins and should find use in the engineering of potent binding proteins that are soluble inside host cells for applications in functional genomics and proteomics as well as molecular medicine.
