clyA-rLvAPN1

Biology

ClyA

Cytolysin A (ClyA) is a pore-forming toxin that is produced by some bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family. When fused to the C-terminal of ClyA, heterologous proteins can be displayed on the surface of the engineered bacteria and OMVs (outer membrane vesicles) released by them (1).

rLvAPN1

LvAPN1, a protein from the aminopeptidase N family, was identified in Litopenaeus vannamei hemocytes as a receptor for VPAHPND toxin PirA and PirB, which can help the toxins pass through the cell membrane of hemocytes (2).

rLvAPN1 is a truncated form of LvAPN1 (residues 205-591) that composes of a crystal insecticidal (Cry) toxin binding region and the active site of peptidase-M1 domain, which was reported to directly bind to both PirA and PirB toxins (2). What’s more, there is no glycosylation site in rLvAPN1, which makes it easier to obtain the purified protein by using prokaryotic expression system (such as E. coli).

Usage and design

Engineering OMVs for treating and preventing AHPND caused by the pathogen V. parahaemolyticus are a significant part of OMEGA project (Operable Magic to Efficiently Getting over AHPND). Based on the efforts of our previous projects in 2020 (AnTea-Glyphosate) and 2021 (SALAGE), we further developed the surface display system on the OMVs released by the engineered bacteria. The usage of cargo proteins was no more limited to enzymes that are usually utilized to catalyze series bio-chemical reactions, since some receptors or ligands involved in complex protein-protein interaction (PPI) were selected as the cargo candidates. This year, we chose two classic anchor proteins, ClyA and INPNC, to construct the display cassette with various cargo proteins including rFET (receptor), rLvAPN1 (receptor), TTPA (ligand) and TTPB (ligand) (Fig. 1). On one hand, with the receptors displayed, OMVs will gain the function of neutralizing toxins secreted by V. parahaemolyticus. On the other hand, with the assistance of ligands displayed on the surface, OMVs will become a special vector to deliver antimicrobials for the specific pathogen. In summary, we have taken a step closer to the collections of extracellular functional elements (EFE), combining the OMVs, secretion systems and surface display systems which we have been dedicated to since 2020.
