Here we develop a novel approach allowing the noncovalent assembly of proteins on well-defined nanoscaffolds such as virus particles. The antibody-binding peptide Z33 was genetically fused to the monomeric yellow fluorescent protein and 4-coumarate:CoA-ligase 2. This Z33 "tag" allowed their patterning on the surface of zucchini yellow mosaic virus by means of specific antibodies directed against the coat protein of the virus. The approach was validated by affinity assays and correlative microscopy. The coverage efficiency was ∼87%. Fluorescence and enzymatic activity were fully retained after assembly. The principle of using the combination of a scaffold-specific antibody and Z33-fusion proteins can be extended to a wide variety of proteins/enzymes and antigenic scaffolds to support coupling for creating functional "biochips" with optical or catalytic properties.< Réduire
