Cooperative enzyme catalysis in nature has long inspired the application of engineered multi-enzyme assemblies for industrial biocatalysis. Despite considerable interest, efforts to harness the activity of cell-surface displayed multi-enzyme assemblies have been based on trial and error rather than rational design due to a lack of quantitative tools. In this study, we developed a quantitative approach to whole-cell biocatalyst characterization enabling a comprehensive study of how yeast-surface displayed multi-enzyme assemblies form. Here we show that the multi-enzyme assembly efficiency is limited by molecular crowding on the yeast cell surface, and that maximizing enzyme density is the most important parameter for enhancing cellulose hydrolytic performance. Interestingly, we also observed that proximity effects are only synergistic when the average inter-enzyme distance is > ~130 nm. The findings and the quantitative approach developed in this work should help to advance the field of biocatalyst engineering from trial and error to rational design.

Biobleaching is an eco-friendly strategy that can reduce costs and pollution in the pulp and paper industry. Herein, an effective biobleaching approach was proposed using a novel multi-enzyme complex. The multi-enzyme complex was constructed based on mini-cellulosome scaffolding protein integrated with laccase (BpLac) and xylanase (BpXyn) from Bacillus pumilus.

The multi-enzyme assembly system demonstrates remarkable potential in enhancing both intracellular and extracellular enzyme catalysis. In this study, we employed a novel icosahedral protein cage, Mi3, as a protein scaffold and combined it with an ester bond-based peptide tagging system, ReverseTag/ReverseCatcher, to improve the enzymatic catalytic efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, we fused ReverseTag to the N-terminal of exo-inulinase (EXINU) from Pseudomonas mucidolens, yielding ReverseTag-EXINU, which effectively bound to the surface of the ReverseCatcher-Mi3 protein cage.

Under starvation conditions, Saccharomyces cerevisiae diploid cells initiate meiosis to produce dormant cells called spores. When the DIT1 gene involved in assembling the outermost layer dityrosine is disrupted, the natural "chitosan beads" of yeast spores will be formed. A novel cell surface display system based on "chitosan beads" of dit1Δ yeast spores was previously established.

Flavin-dependent halogenase (FDH) is highly prized in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for its exceptional capacity to produce halogenated aromatic compounds with precise regioselectivity. This study has devised a multi-enzyme self-assembly strategy to construct an effective and reliable in vitro coenzyme cycling system tailored for FDHs. Initially, tri-enzyme self-assembling nanoclusters (TESNCs) were developed, comprising glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), flavin reductase (FR) and FDH.

Nascent chains undergo co-translational enzymatic processing as soon as their N-terminus becomes accessible at the ribosomal polypeptide tunnel exit (PTE). In eukaryotes, N-terminal methionine excision (NME) by Methionine Aminopeptidases (MAP1 and MAP2), and N-terminal acetylation (NTA) by N-Acetyl-Transferase A (NatA), is the most common combination of subsequent modifications carried out on the 80S ribosome. How these enzymatic processes are coordinated in the context of a rapidly translating ribosome has remained elusive.
