Bioplastics

48
Bioplastics derived from microbial processes present a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among these, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), particularly polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), have emerged as prominent candidates due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of bacteria, such as Cupriavidus necator and Pseudomonas putida, which naturally accumulate PHAs as intracellular carbon and energy reserves, especially under...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Protein Engineering
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Biointerface ligand decoration is essential for controlling nanoparticle biodistribution and enabling targeted delivery.
  • Existing methods for functionalizing 3D polyester surfaces with ligands face challenges in efficiency and spatial orientation control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize hybrid proteins with enhanced anchoring efficiency and controlled spatial orientation on polyester surfaces.
  • To evaluate the binding affinity of these novel proteins on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) microparticles and 2D surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Engineered hybrid proteins by fusing reporter proteins (sfGFP, mRFP1) and a receptor-binding domain (RBD) to a polyester substrate-binding domain (SBD).
  • Assessed protein binding to poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) microparticles and 2D surfaces using techniques to quantify protein content.
  • Evaluated the internalization and cytotoxicity of RBD-SBD decorated microparticles in MRC5 cells.

Main Results:

  • Proteins fused with SBD demonstrated significantly higher binding affinity and content on PHB interfaces compared to untagged proteins.
  • The SBD tag effectively enhanced protein immobilization on both microparticle and 2D polyester surfaces.
  • RBD-SBD decorated microparticles showed limited internalization and cytotoxicity in MRC5 cells.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SBD-based protein system offers a robust strategy for efficient and oriented ligand functionalization of polyester biointerfaces.
  • This approach holds significant potential for applications in targeted drug delivery and vaccine development.
  • The system minimizes unwanted cellular interactions, paving the way for safer nanomedicine formulations.
