Phage display identified a peptide that enhances the thermal stability of RNase S protein complexes. This method can improve protein stability in fragment complementation systems.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Protein Engineering
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • RNase S is composed of two fragments of RNase A: S20 (residues 1-20) and S-pro (residues 21-124).
  • Fragment complementation systems are valuable tools in protein engineering and molecular biology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify a peptide with high affinity for the S-pro fragment using phage display.
  • To investigate the impact of this peptide on the thermal stability of the RNase S complex.

Main Methods:

  • Phage display library screening to select high-affinity peptides.
  • Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to assess binding affinity and thermodynamic parameters.
  • Differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) to determine the melting temperature (Tm) and thermal stability.

Main Results:

  • A 15-mer peptide (S15p) with high affinity for S-pro was successfully selected.
  • ITC revealed comparable binding affinity of S15p to the wild-type peptide, but with lower enthalpy and heat capacity changes.
  • The S15p complex exhibited a 10°C higher melting temperature (Tm) at pH 6 compared to the wild-type complex, indicating enhanced thermal stability.

Conclusions:

  • Phage display is an effective strategy for discovering peptides that enhance protein complex stability.
  • The identified S15p peptide offers improved thermal stability for the RNase S system.
  • This approach holds potential for engineering more stable protein systems utilizing fragment complementation.
