Cell surface display is a technique to display peptides or proteins on the surface of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fungi, or even mammalian cells by appropriately fusing them to surface anchoring motifs. This technique has a wide range of biotechnological and industrial applications, including development of vaccines, peptide and antibody libraries, bioremediation, whole-cell-biocatalysis, and whole-cell-biosensors. When protein is expressed in the outer membrane of E. coli the cell envelope acts as a matrix. It is achievable thanks to several systems as outer membrane porins, lipoproteins, GPI-anchored-proteins, fimbriae, and autotransporters. (Jana S & Deb JK, 2005; Lee SH et al., 2004) Displaying proteins on the cell surface also makes preparing or purifying the protein unnecessary in many instances. Whole cells displaying the molecule of interest can be used in reactions or analytical assays and then can be simply removed by centrifugation.

The type V autotransporters are composed of an N-terminal sec-dependent signal peptide, a passenger domain and a translocator domain that are predicted to form a β-barrel. (Rutherford et al. 2006) In this project, the natural passenger domain of the autotransporter estA from Pseudomonas sp was replaced by a cellulase and an invertase to display them at the bacterial surface by the translocator domain of the estA protein. The Sec machinery operates to insert proteins the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria, but it cannot translocate folded substrates across the membrane, while the Tat (twin-arginine translocation) system functions to translocate folded proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria. (Yuan J et al. 2010) The Sec translocase is comprised of the SecYEG translocation channel and the accessory components SecA, SecDFYajC, and YidC. (Yuan J et al. 2010) Using signal peptide of a protein which is naturally transported to the cytoplasma, we expect successful localization of the cellulase and the invertase at the external surface of E. coli. In the other hand, we used a fragment of an integral outer membrane ompA with signal peptide of a lipoprotein lpp (BBa_K103006) to express the same enzymes by the type II sec secretion system. | The type V autotransporters are composed of an N-terminal sec-dependent signal peptide, a passenger domain and a translocator domain that are predicted to form a β-barrel.

Invert sugar contains fructose and glucose in roughly equal proportions. The Invert sugar is greater in demand than pure glucose as food and drink sweeteners. The conventional method of manufacturing Invert Sugar involves acid hydrolysis of sucrose. However, such acid hydrolysis has a low conversion efficiency, high-energy consumption and thus cost of production is high.

Production of sugarcane used to be a high profit activity in the Mexican industry. Nonetheless, the increasing demand for high fructose syrup has become a rising threat to most sugar companies. Our project aims to help the sugarcane industry by giving them a competitive edge with the aid of synthetic biology. Our new genetic construct will be able to immobilize cellulase and invertase by cell surface display technique fusing them to bacterial natural membrane protein fragments. This system will be able to take advantage of cellulose residue and to transform sucrose into fructose without any chemical/mechanical purification process that may damage or destroy the bacteria, reducing unit operations, and cutting production costs.
