Vector engineering and gene disruption in host cells were attempted for the enhancement of α-agglutinin-based display of proteins
on the cell surface in yeast. To evaluate the display efficiency by flow cytometric analysis, DsRed-monomer fused with FLAG-tag
was displayed and immunostained as a model protein. The use of
leu2-
d in the expression vector resulted in the enhanced efficiency and ratio of the accessible display of proteins. Moreover, the
amount of displayed proteins in
SED1-disrupted cells increased particularly during the stationary growth phase. The combination of these improvements resulted
in the quantitatively enhanced accessible display of DsRed-monomer on the yeast cell surface. The improved yeast display system
would be useful in a wider range of its applications in biotechnology.
