Flavin-Based Fluorescent Protein EcFbFP Auto-Guided Surface Display of Methyl Parathion Hydrolase in Escherichia coli

Methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH) plays an important role in degrading a range of organophosphorus compounds. In order to display MPH on the cell surface of Escherichia coli strain RosettaBlue™, the Flavin-based fluorescent protein EcFbFP was severed as an auto-anchoring matrix. With net negative cha...

Description
Summary:Methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH) plays an important role in degrading a range of organophosphorus compounds. In order to display MPH on the cell surface of Escherichia coli strain RosettaBlue™, the Flavin-based fluorescent protein EcFbFP was severed as an auto-anchoring matrix. With net negative charges of EcFbFP supplying the driving forces, fusion protein MPH-EcFbFP through a two-step auto-surface display process was finally verified by (a) inner membrane translocation and (b) anchoring at outer membrane. Cells with surface-displayed MPH obtained activity of 0.12 U/OD600 against substrate methyl parathion. MPH when fused with engineered EcFbFP containing 20 net negative charges exhibited fivefold higher anchoring efficiency and tenfold higher enzymatic catalytic activity of 1.10 U/OD600. The above result showed that MPH was successfully displayed on cell surface and can be used for biodegradation of methyl parathion.
