title: Recombinant Escherichia coli strain produces a ZZ domain displaying biopolyester granules suitable for immunoglobulin G purification.
abstract: The immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding ZZ domain of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus was fused to the N terminus of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase from Cupriavidus necator. The fusion protein was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and mediated formation of ZZ domain-displaying PHA granules in recombinant Escherichia coli. The IgG binding capacity of isolated granules was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and could be enhanced by the overproduction of the ZZ-PHA synthase. ZZ-PHA granules enabled efficient purification of IgG from human serum.
