Self assembling nanoparticle enzyme clusters provide access to substrate channeling in multienzymatic cascades
2023
Overview
Access to efficient enzymatic channeling is desired for improving all manner of designer biocatalysis. We demonstrate that enzymes constituting a multistep cascade can self-assemble with nanoparticle scaffolds into nanoclusters that access substrate channeling and improve catalytic flux by orders of magnitude. Utilizing saccharification and glycolytic enzymes with quantum dots (QDs) as a model system, nanoclustered-cascades incorporating from 4 to 10 enzymatic steps are prototyped. Along with confirming channeling using classical experiments, its efficiency is enhanced several fold more by optimizing enzymatic stoichiometry with numerical simulations, switching from spherical QDs to 2-D planar nanoplatelets, and by ordering the enzyme assembly. Detailed analyses characterize assembly formation and clarify structure-function properties. For extended cascades with unfavorable kinetics, channeled activity is maintained by splitting at a critical step, purifying end-product from the upstream sub-cascade, and feeding it as a concentrated substrate to the downstream sub-cascade. Generalized applicability is verified by extending to assemblies incorporating other hard and soft nanoparticles. Such self-assembled biocatalytic nanoclusters offer many benefits towards enabling minimalist cell-free synthetic biology.
Channeling between enzymes is a uniquely nanoscale phenomenon that can improve multienzymatic reaction rates. Here, the authors demonstrate that multistep enzyme cascades can self-assemble with nanoparticles into nanoclusters that access channeling and improve the underlying catalytic flux by several fold.
