A phage display system was established that selects for correctly folded mutants of protein L that are still able to bind to IgG, in order to study sequence constraints for folding in small proteins. The major findings of this study are that neither the folding of proteins that are stable under biological conditions is kinetically optimized nor can phage display selection discriminate among species with different folding kinetics in the biological range.

In this study, the optimal amino acid sequence for a structural motif in single-chain antibody fragments (scFvs) was selected. The selection methodology employed was the 'selectively infective phage' (SIP) technology, a method in which ligand binding of the displayed polypeptide is directly linked to phage infectivity. The selected scFv fragment showed an increased thermodynamic stability compared with the competing sequences.

The selection pressure for the enhanced thermodynamic stability of the displayed protein is exerted by protease cleavage of unfolded displayed species and the protease-resistance is directly linked to infectivity. This is achieved using a phage vector, in which all the copies of g3p consist of fusion proteins. Upon proteolysis, N1 and N2 are lost if the inserted protein is protease labile.

The selection pressure for the enhanced thermodynamic stability of the displayed protein is exerted by protease cleavage of unfolded displayed species and the protease-resistance is directly linked to infectivity. This is achieved with a phagemid/helper phage system by engineering a protease site into wild-type g3p encoded by the helper phage. Upon protease treatment, N1 and N2 are cleaved off. Therefore, the only N1 and N2 domains, which are needed for infection, can come from the fusion proteins, provided that it is itself resistant to proteolysis.

A poorly folding single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) was displayed on the phage and a genomic bacterial library was co-expressed, but not displayed, on the same phagemid. Selection occurred for factor Skp, which may act as a periplasmic chaperone. The authors found a chaperone effect of Skp on the soluble periplasmic expression of the recombinant scFv.

A strategy is presented for improving the substrate specificity and activity of catalytic antibodies by phage display. This was achieved by displaying a diverse antibody repertoire on filamentous phage and screening for binding to an altered transition-state analog that was not used at the time of immunization.

An example of substrate phage display is presented using bacteriophage Lambda as the display vehicle. This work shows that bacteriophage Lambda may be an attractive alternative to filamentous phage for the functional cloning and evolution of polypeptides, especially those produced in the cytoplasm.

A novel phage display selection for enzymatic activity is described using staphylococcal nuclease as a model system. The enzyme and the substrate were displayed on the same phage particle. This was achieved by fusing the enzyme directly to g3p and fusing a coiled-coil peptide to another copy of g3p, which heterodimerizes with another coiled-coil peptide that is chemically linked to the substrate, a biotinylated oligonucleotide. After the binding of the phages to streptavidin beads through the biotin moiety, phages displaying active enzymes were released by cleavage of the oligonucleotide in a reaction on the same phage particle. This methodology has the potential to be used for the selection and evolution of those protein catalysts that can be displayed.

J Mol Biol 1999, 286:617-633. A novel phage display selection for enzymatic activity is described using glutathione-S-transferase and an endopeptidase as model enzymes. Enzyme-calmodulin fusion proteins were displayed on filamentous phage. A substrate linked to a calmodulin-binding peptide could then be anchored in proximity to the enzyme. Phages displaying active enzymes were selected by product binding. This may be a general methodology for the isolation of enzymatic activities from libraries of proteins that can be displayed.
