Abstract：
:The formation of higher-order assemblies of multiple proteins or enzymes is a general mechanism to achieve more sophisticated biological function in biological systems. For example, cellulosomes are large complexes consisting of multiple cellulolytic enzymes that rely on the concerted actions of different enzymes built onto a common protein scaffold to facilitate the breakdown of the polymeric substrate, cellulose. One strategy for mimicking these highly effective nanomachines may involve the use of synthetic scaffolds that can react to and organize multiple engineered enzymes to promote synergistic action between the enzymes on the scaffold. As an example of the earlier strategy, we describe here an approach for the expression of cellulolytic enzymes with a serine esterase tag, and the rapid reaction between the tag and the end-functionalized polymers to form enzyme-polymer-enzyme multienzyme conjugates. In principle, this general and versatile supramolecular approach may be used to organize specific cellulolytic enzymes onto synthetic scaffolds to form multienzyme complexes to potentially work in synergy for enhanced biological activities. Best reaction conditions, good activities of the armored cellulolytic enzymes and the design of optimal protein linker in the fusion protein are discussed in detail. If other reactive tags are included on the enzyme in future, multiple types of synergistic enzymes may be positioned at specific sites on a designed polymer scaffold that mimics the complex structure and enhanced function of natural cellulosomes. This type of nanoarmoring of multiple enzymes on a nanoscale might also enhance enzyme stability, when compared to the unprotected enzymes.
