Construction and Characterization of Phage Libraries Displaying Artificial Proteins with Random Sequences

摘要

Three phage libraries,PL1,PL2,and PL3,displaying artificial proteins with random sequences were constructed.The artificial proteins,which are model model of ancestral proteins,are derivfatives of the 25 kinds of random proteins with about 140 amino acid residues produced via random mutagenesis and combinatorial recombination.The random proteins were displayed on the surface of filamentous bacteriophage as fusion protein with the pIII coat protein at an estimated average number on the phage particles in PL1,PL2,and PL3 of 0.32,0.32,and 0.08, respetively.Each library was shown to express 10~5 to 10~6 kinds of random proteins.With the phage libraries displaying long random peptides,we now have an effective selective selectrion system to observe in vitro evolution of new functional proteins from artificial proteins with random sequences.
