title: Preparation of yeast strains displaying IgG binding domain ZZ and enhanced green fluorescent protein for novel antigen detection systems.
abstract: To develop novel immunofluorescence-labeling and antigen-detection systems, the ZZ domain derived from Staphylococcus aureus, which binds to the Fc part of immunoglobulin G, and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) were displayed on the cell surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by cell-surface engineering using the C-terminus 318 amino acids of Flo1 protein. Two systems were constructed, one for co-display of ZZ and EGFP, and one for display of a fusion protein of the two. In both cases, two proteins on the cell surface successfully retain their activities.
