A novel expression system for surface display of heterologous proteins on
Staphylococcus carnosus cells has been developed. Taking advantage of the
promoter and secretion signals, including a propeptide region, from the
lipase gene of Staphylococcus hyicus and the cell wall- spanning and
membrane-binding region of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus, efficient
surface display of an 80-amino-acid peptide from a malaria blood stage
antigen could be achieved. A serum albumin binding protein from
streptococcal protein G was used both as a general reporter molecule and to
increase the accessibility of the surface- displayed proteins.
Immunoblotting, immunogold staining, and immunofluorescence on intact
recombinant S. carnosus cells verified the presence of the propeptide, the
malaria antigen, and the albumin- binding reporter protein on the bacterial
surface. For the first time, fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used
to analyze the presence of surface-displayed hybrid receptors on
gram-positive bacteria.
