Higher-Order VLP-Based Protein Macromolecular Framework Structures Assembled via Coiled-Coil Interactions

Journal Article · · Biomacromolecules
Hierarchical organization is one of the fundamental features observed in biological systems that allows for efficient and effective functioning. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are elegant examples of a hierarchically organized supramolecular structure, where many subunits are self-assembled to generate the functional cage-like architecture. Utilizing VLPs as building blocks to construct two- and three-dimensional (3D) higher-order structures is an emerging research area in developing functional biomimetic materials. VLPs derived from P22 bacteriophages can be repurposed as nanoreactors by encapsulating enzymes and modular units to build higher-order catalytic materials via several techniques. In this study, we have used coiled-coil peptide interactions to mediate the P22 interparticle assembly into a highly stable, amorphous protein macromolecular framework (PMF) material, where the assembly does not depend on the VLP morphology, a limitation observed in previously reported P22 PMF assemblies. Many encapsulated enzymes lose their optimum functionalities under the harsh conditions that are required for the P22 VLP morphology transitions. Therefore, the coiled-coil-based PMF provides a fitting and versatile platform for constructing functional higher-order catalytic materials compatible with sensitive enzymes. Finally, we have characterized the material properties of the PMF and utilized the disordered PMF to construct a biocatalytic 3D material performing single- and multistep catalysis.
