Abstract

To enable an efficient bacterial cell surface display with effective protein expression and cell surface loading ability via autotransporter for potential vaccine development applications, the inner membrane protein translocation efficiency was investigated via a trial-and-error strategy by replacing the original unusual long signal peptide of E. coli Ag43 with 11 different signal peptides. The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of coronavirus was used as a neutral display substrate to optimize the expression conditions, and the results showed that signal peptides from PelB, OmpC, OmpF, and PhoA protein enhance the bacterial cell surface display efficiency of RBD. In addition, the temperature has also a significant effect on the autodisplay efficiency of RBD. Our data provide further technical basis for the biotechnological application of Ag43 as a bacterial surface display carrier system and further potential application in vaccine development.
