Fecha de publicación: | mar-2019 | Editor: | BioMed Central | Citación: | Microbial Cell Factories 18 (1): 47 (2019) | Resumen: | [Background] The hemolysin (Hly) secretion system of E. coli allows the one-step translocation of hemolysin A (HlyA) from the bacterial cytoplasm to the extracellular medium, without a periplasmic intermediate. In this work, we investigate whether the Hly secretion system of E. coli is competent to secrete a repertoire of functional single-domain VHH antibodies (nanobodies, Nbs), facilitating direct screening of VHH libraries and the purification of selected Nb from the extracellular medium. [Results] We employed a phagemid library of VHHs obtained by immunization of a dromedary with three protein antigens from enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), namely, the extracellular secreted protein A (EspA), the extracellular C-terminal region of Intimin (Int280), and the translocated intimin receptor middle domain (TirM). VHH clones binding each antigen were enriched and amplified by biopanning, and subsequently fused to the C-terminal secretion signal of HlyA to be expressed and secreted in a E. coli strain carrying the Hly export machinery (HlyB, HlyD and TolC). Individual E. coli clones were grown and induced in 96-well microtiter plates, and the supernatants of the producing cultures directly used in ELISA for detection of Nbs binding EspA, Int280 and TirM. A set of Nb sequences specifically binding each of these antigens were identified, indicating that the Hly system is able to secrete a diversity of functional Nbs. We performed thiol alkylation assays demonstrating that Nbs are correctly oxidized upon secretion, forming disulphide bonds between cysteine pairs despite the absence of a periplasmic intermediate. In addition, we show that the secreted Nb-HlyA fusions can be directly purified from the supernatant of E. coli cultures, avoiding cell lysis and in a single affinity chromatography step. [Conclusions] Our data demonstrate the Hly secretion system of E. coli can be used as an expression platform for screening and purification of Nb binders from VHH repertories. |
