Phage display of catalytically active staphylococcal nuclease.
Staphylococcal nuclease (SNase), a 14 kD enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of single- and double-stranded nucleic acid, was fused to the N-terminus of the gene III (pIII) protein of filamentous phage fdtet. The SNase-pIII protein is infective and the catalyzes DNA hydrolysis, demonstrating that functional SNase can be displayed on the phage surface.
