Engineering of novel tamavidin 2 muteins with lowered isoelectric points and lowered non-specific binding properties
چکیده انگلیسی

The avidin–biotin interaction is widely employed as a universal tool in numerous biotechnological applications. In avidin–biotin technology, non-specific binding to biological macromolecules is a hindrance. The major origin of this non-specific binding is the electrical charge of the surface of biotin-binding proteins. Tamavidin 2, a fungal avidin-like protein that binds biotin with an extremely high affinity, can be produced as a soluble recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. The isoelectric point of tamavidin 2 is 7.4–7.5, lower than avidin (10.0), and slightly higher than that of streptavidin (6.0–7.5). Here, we genetically engineered charge mutants of tamavidin 2 to reduce non-specific binding. By substituting an acidic residue (glutamic acid) for basic residues (arginine and lysine), we constructed three mutant proteins (muteins) and confirmed their high-level production in soluble form in E. coli, as well as that of tamavidin 2. We then tested these proteins for non-specific binding to salmon sperm DNA, glycoproteins (integrin and fibronectin), and IgG from human sera. The muteins showed lower non-specific binding than tamavidin 2 to these macromolecules. In particular, one mutein, tamavidin-R104EK141E, which had the lowest isoelectric point (5.8–6.2) among avidin, streptavidin and tamavidin 2, displayed the lowest non-specific binding. The affinity of this mutein to biotin was high, comparable with that of tamavidin 2. These findings indicate that tamavidin-R104EK141E has the potential to serve as a robust tool in the numerous applications of biotin-binding proteins.
