- ItemMatter-tag: A universal immobilization platform for enzymes on polymers, metals, and silicon-based materials(New York, NY : Wiley, 2020) Dedisch, Sarah; Wiens, Annika; Davari, Mehdi D.; Söder, Dominik; Rodriguez-Emmenegger, Cesar; Jakob, Felix; Schwaneberg, UlrichEnzyme immobilization is extensively studied to improve enzyme properties in catalysis and analytical applications. Here, we introduce a simple and versatile enzyme immobilization platform based on adhesion-promoting peptides, namely Matter-tags. Matter-tags immobilize enzymes in an oriented way as a dense monolayer. The immobilization platform was established with three adhesion-promoting peptides; Cecropin A (CecA), liquid chromatography peak I (LCI), and Tachystatin A2 (TA2), that were genetically fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein and to two industrially important enzymes: a phytase (from Yersinia mollaretii) and a cellulase (CelA2 from a metagenomic library). Here, we report a universal and simple Matter-tag–based immobilization platform for enzymes on various materials including polymers (polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate), metals (stainless steel and gold), and silicon-based materials (silicon wafer). The Matter-tag–based enzyme immobilization is performed at ambient temperature within minutes (<10 min) in an aqueous solution harboring the phytase or cellulase by immersing the targeted material. The peptide LCI was identified as universal adhesion promoter; LCI immobilized both enzymes on all investigated materials. The attachment of phytase-LCI onto gold was characterized with surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy obtaining a dissociation constant value (KD) of 2.9·10−8 M and a maximal surface coverage of 504 ng/cm². © 2019 The Authors.
