Novel bacterial surface display systems based on outer membrane anchoring elements from the marine bacterium Vibrio anguillarum.

ABSTRACT: Surface display of heterologous peptides and proteins such as receptors, antigens, and enzymes on live bacterial cells is of considerable value for various biotechnological and industrial applications. In this study, a series of novel cell surface display systems were examined by using Vibrio anguillarum outer membrane protein and outer membrane lipoprotein as anchoring motifs. These display systems consist of (i) the signal sequence and first 11 N-terminal amino acids of V. anguillarum outer membrane lipoprotein Wza, or the signal sequence and first 9 N-terminal amino acids of the mature major Escherichia coli lipoprotein Lpp, and (ii) transmembrane domains of V. anguillarum outer membrane proteins Omporf1, OmpU, or Omp26La. In order to assay the translocation efficiency of constructed di
