Selection and structural analysis of de novo proteins from an α3β3 genetic library

Abstract: The construction of novel functional proteins has been a key area of protein engineering. However, there are few reports of functional proteins constructed from artificial scaffolds. Here, we have constructed a genetic library encoding a3b3 de novo proteins to generate novel scaffolds in smaller size using a binary combination of simplified hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid sets. To screen for folded de novo proteins, we used a GFP-based screening system and successfully obtained the proteins from the col… Show more

“…[9][10][11] Jumawid et al have constructed a3b3 de novo proteins through binary combination of simplified hydrophobic (Val, Ile, and Leu) and hydrophilic (Ala, Glu, Lys, and Thr) amino acid sets. 12 These findings all support the view that the full amino acid alphabet set is not essential for protein folding.…”

“…In a subsequent study, the substitution of a lysine in a position normally occupied by the hydrophobic amino acids (i.e., the PHPKPHP pattern) for the edge strands in a 6‐strand beta sheet protein discouraged oligomerization due to the need for lysine to be water accessible, forming instead monomeric six‐stranded beta‐sheet proteins. An attempt to design a mixed alpha‐beta (α3β3) protein scaffold de novo also utilized binary H/P patterning using the amino acids AEKT for polar positions and ILV for hydrophobic positions. While this alphabet is distinct from that used by Hecht's group, the two groups also occur as distinct subgroups in the optimized 2‐letter alphabet reduction derived in this work (Fig.…”

“…A combinatorial approach coupling the use of binary patterning and simplified amino acid alphabet has been used to design a library of reduced diversity but high folding propensity encoding de novo proteins made of three helices and three strands (a3b3) [38]. Folded proteins from the library were screened using a GFP fusion system and were clearly demonstrated to have a large fraction of the sequence with a well-folded unique structure.…”
