This presentation discusses the innovative approach of expressing streptavidin on the surface of E. coli, focusing on two display options: GPI-anchoring and beta-autotransporters. We explore why this method might succeed, the creation of DNA-DNA interfaces, and insights from previous studies in RNA-RNA systems. With a host of potential building blocks available, including streptavidin fusion proteins, we examine possibilities for advancing research on new aptamers and targets. Our key question: Will our findings encourage collaborative dialogue?

Cell Surface Targeting(we’re actually trying it!) Lewis Hahn Perry Tsai June 26, 2006
Outline • Expressing Streptavidin at the E. coli cell surface • Two display options • Why it might work! (More about streptavidin) • Creating a DNA-DNA interface with the cell surface • What others have done • Our plans
Two display options • GPI-anchor • Beta autotransporter
GPI-anchor • Jung et al. 1998 • expressed levansucrase (400 amino acids) • Fused to C-terminus of Inp
Autodisplay • Jose 1997 (and 1999,2000,2001,…) • Beta autotransporter • Originally used with AIDA-I (adhesin-involved-in-diffuse-adherence)
Autodisplay mechanism (Jose 1996)
Previous work • Tahiri-Alaoui et al. 2002 RNA-RNA “Adaptamer”
CopA-CopT (Kolb 2000)
CopA-CopT (Kolb 2000)
Many options • To start: work in solution. • New interfaces? • Secondary structure design? • New Targets?
Other targets • Dwarakanath et al. 2002 • DNA Aptamer to LPS
Summary • A lot of building blocks are already there • Streptavidin fusion protein • GPI anchor • Beta-autotransporter • DNA-DNA or RNA-RNA interface • Adaptamer • New interfaces, new aptamers
Major Question Will people talk to us?
