Research progress of multi-enzyme complexes based on the design of scaffold protein

Abstract

Multi-enzyme complexes designed based on scaffold proteins are a current topic in molecular enzyme engineering. They have been gradually applied to increase the production of enzyme cascades, thereby achieving effective biosynthetic pathways. This paper reviews the recent progress in the design strategy and application of multi-enzyme complexes. First, the metabolic channels in the multi-enzyme complex have been introduced, and the construction strategies of the multi-enzyme complex emerging in recent years have been summarized. Then, the discovered enzyme cascades related to scaffold proteins are discussed, emphasizing on the influence of the linker on the fusion enzyme (fusion protein) and its possible mechanism. This review is expected to provide a more theoretical basis for the modification of multi-enzyme complexes and broaden their applications in synthetic biology.

N-terminal truncated phospholipase A1 accessory protein PlaS from Serratia marcescens alleviates inhibitory on host cell growth and enhances PlaA1 enzymatic activity

“…Protein-protein interactions play a crucial role in cellular processes, and understanding these interactions is fundamental for elucidating biological mechanisms (Wang et al 2023 ). Previous studies have shown that PlaS enhances the expression of PlaA1 and promotes its enzymatic activity.…”

Recent Advances in Stimulus-Responsive Nanocarriers for Pesticide Delivery

“…Enzymes are proteins or RNAs produced by living cells with high specificity and catalytic efficiency, and are catalysts for all intracellular chemical reactions. − Since enzymes are widely distributed in plants, bacteria, and insects, they are secreted in large quantities, especially in plant pests and diseases, including amylase, pectinase, glucosidase, cellulase, and laccase. − These enzymes can destroy structures on the plant surface, which allows for the invasion of pests and diseases because the fact that the process of plant infestation by pests and diseases is a complex class of enzyme-chemical processes. , Enzyme stimulation-responsive controlled release systems tend to be highly specialized, specific, targeted, efficient, and biocompatible under mild reaction conditions. , Based on this, enzyme-stimulated response controlled release is one of the most promising stimulation methods.…”
