    Abstract Vanillin is one of the most commonly used natural-occurring flavors in the world. This study successfully constructed an efficient whole-cell catalytic system for vanillin biosynthesis from ferulic acid by regulating feruloyl-CoA synthetase (FCS) and enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECH). First, we constructed an efficient cell-free catalytic system with FCS-Str (fcs from Streptomyces sp. V-1) and ECH-Str (ech from Streptomyces sp. V-1) combination at 1:1. The efficient cell-free catalytic system provided necessary strategies for optimizing the whole-cell catalytic system. Then, we constructed the recombinant Escherichia coli by heterologously expressing the fcs-Str and ech-Str combination. Moreover, E. coli JM109 was a better recombinant Escherichia coli than E. coli BL21 with higher vanillin production. Finally, we first adjusted the ratio of FCS and ECH in E. coli JM109 to 1:1 using two copies of fcs-Str. For higher vanillin production, we further optimized the induction conditions of E. coli JM109 to increase the amount of FCS and ECH. The optimized E. coli JM109-FE-F constructed in this study has the highest vanillin synthesis rate of converting 20 mM ferulic acid to 15 mM vanillin in 6 h among all of the E. coli catalytic systems. Our study made a significant contribution to the construction of the vanillin biosynthesis system and provided a valuable strategy for increasing vanillin production. KEY POINTS: • The efficient cell-free vanillin biosynthesis system was constructed by FCS-Str and ECH-Str combination at 1:1. • Escherichia coli JM109 was determined as a better recombinant Escherichia coli than E. coli BL21 with higher vanillin production. • Escherichia coli JM109-FE-F with two copies of fcs-Str and one copy of ech-Str has the highest catalytic efficiency for vanillin production.

    Abstract Background: Certain phosphorylated peptides are differentially presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on cancer cells characterized by aberrant phosphorylation. Phosphopeptides presented in complex with the human leukocyte antigen HLA-A*02:01 provide a stability advantage over their non-phosphorylated counterparts. This stability is thought to contribute to enhanced immunogenicity. Whether tumor-associated phosphopeptides presented by other common alleles exhibit immunogenicity and structural characteristics similar to those presented by A*02:01 is unclear. Therefore, we determined the identity, structural features, and immunogenicity of phosphopeptides presented by the prevalent alleles HLA-A*03:01, HLA-A*11:01, HLA-C*07:01, and HLA-C*07:02.
    Methods: We isolated peptide-MHC complexes by immunoprecipitation from 11 healthy and neoplastic tissue samples using mass spectrometry, and then combined the resulting data with public immunopeptidomics data sets to assemble a curated set of phosphopeptides presented by 96 samples spanning 20 distinct healthy and neoplastic tissue types. We determined the biochemical features of selected phosphopeptides by in vitro binding assays and in silico docking, and their immunogenicity by analyzing healthy donor T cells for phosphopeptide-specific multimer binding and cytokine production.
    Results: We identified a subset of phosphopeptides presented by HLA-A*03:01, A*11:01, C*07:01 and C*07:02 on multiple tumor types, particularly lymphomas and leukemias, but not healthy tissues. These phosphopeptides are products of genes essential to lymphoma and leukemia survival. The presented phosphopeptides generally exhibited similar or worse binding to A*03:01 than their non-phosphorylated counterparts. HLA-C*07:01 generally presented phosphopeptides but not their unmodified counterparts. Phosphopeptide binding to HLA-C*07:01 was dependent on B-pocket interactions that were absent in HLA-C*07:02. While HLA-A*02:01 and HLA-A*11:01 phosphopeptide-specific T cells could be readily detected in an autologous setting even when the non-phosphorylated peptide was co-presented, HLA-A*03:01 or HLA-C*07:01 phosphopeptides were repeatedly non-immunogenic, requiring use of allogeneic T cells to induce phosphopeptide-specific T cells.
    Conclusions: Phosphopeptides presented by multiple alleles that are differentially expressed on tumors constitute tumor-specific antigens that could be targeted for cancer immunotherapy, but the immunogenicity of such phosphopeptides is not a general feature. In particular, phosphopeptides presented by HLA-A*02:01 and A*11:01 exhibit consistent immunogenicity, while phosphopeptides presented by HLA-A*03:01 and C*07:01, although appropriately presented, are not immunogenic. Thus, to address an expanded patient population, phosphopeptide-targeted immunotherapies should be wary of allele-specific differences.

    Abstract Recent development of methods to discover and engineer therapeutic T-cell receptors (TCRs) or antibody mimics of TCRs, and to understand their immunology and pharmacology, lag two decades behind therapeutic antibodies. Yet we have every expectation that TCR-based agents will be similarly important contributors to the treatment of a variety of medical conditions, especially cancers. TCR engineered cells, soluble TCRs and their derivatives, TCR-mimic antibodies, and TCR-based CAR T cells promise the possibility of highly specific drugs that can expand the scope of immunologic agents to recognize intracellular targets, including mutated proteins and undruggable transcription factors, not accessible by traditional antibodies. Hurdles exist regarding discovery, specificity, pharmacokinetics, and best modality of use that will need to be overcome before the full potential of TCR-based agents is achieved. HLA restriction may limit each agent to patient subpopulations and off-target reactivities remain important barriers to widespread development and use of these new agents. In this review we discuss the unique opportunities for these new classes of drugs, describe their unique antigenic targets, compare them to traditional antibody therapeutics and CAR T cells, and review the various obstacles that must be overcome before full application of these drugs can be realized.

    Abstract The use of T cells reactive with intracellular tumor-associated or tumor-specific antigens has been a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapies in the past three decades, but the approach has been constrained by a limited understanding of the T cell receptor's (TCR) complex functions and specificities. Newer TCR and T cell-based approaches are in development, including engineered adoptive T cells with enhanced TCR affinities, TCR mimic antibodies, and T cell-redirecting bispecific agents. These new therapeutic modalities are exciting opportunities by which TCR recognition can be further exploited for therapeutic benefit. In this review we summarize the development of TCR-based therapeutic strategies and focus on balancing efficacy and potency versus specificity, and hence, possible toxicity, of these powerful therapeutic modalities.

    Abstract Vanillin is one of the most commonly used natural-occurring flavors in the world. This study successfully constructed an efficient whole-cell catalytic system for vanillin biosynthesis from ferulic acid by regulating feruloyl-CoA synthetase (FCS) and enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECH). First, we constructed an efficient cell-free catalytic system with FCS-Str (fcs from Streptomyces sp. V-1) and ECH-Str (ech from Streptomyces sp. V-1) combination at 1:1. The efficient cell-free catalytic system provided necessary strategies for optimizing the whole-cell catalytic system. Then, we constructed the recombinant Escherichia coli by heterologously expressing the fcs-Str and ech-Str combination. Moreover, E. coli JM109 was a better recombinant Escherichia coli than E. coli BL21 with higher vanillin production. Finally, we first adjusted the ratio of FCS and ECH in E. coli JM109 to 1:1 using two copies of fcs-Str. For higher vanillin production, we further optimized the induction conditions of E. coli JM109 to increase the amount of FCS and ECH. The optimized E. coli JM109-FE-F constructed in this study has the highest vanillin synthesis rate of converting 20 mM ferulic acid to 15 mM vanillin in 6 h among all of the E. coli catalytic systems. Our study made a significant contribution to the construction of the vanillin biosynthesis system and provided a valuable strategy for increasing vanillin production. KEY POINTS: • The efficient cell-free vanillin biosynthesis system was constructed by FCS-Str and ECH-Str combination at 1:1. • Escherichia coli JM109 was determined as a better recombinant Escherichia coli than E. coli BL21 with higher vanillin production. • Escherichia coli JM109-FE-F with two copies of fcs-Str and one copy of ech-Str has the highest catalytic efficiency for vanillin production.

    Abstract Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy has produced remarkable clinical responses in B-cell neoplasms. However, many challenges limit this class of agents for the treatment of other cancer types, in particular the lack of tumor-selective antigens for solid tumors and other hematological malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which may be addressed without significant risk of severe toxicities while providing sufficient abundance for efficient tumor suppression. One approach to overcome this hurdle is dual targeting by an antibody-T-cell receptor (AbTCR) and a chimeric costimulatory signaling receptor (CSR) to 2 different antigens, in which both antigens are found together on the cancer cells but not together on normal cells. To explore this proof of concept in AML, we engineered a new T-cell format targeting Wilms tumor 1 protein (WT1) and CD33; both are highly expressed on most AML cells. Using an AbTCR comprising a newly developed TCR-mimic monoclonal antibody against the WT1 RMFPNAPYL (RMF) epitope/HLA-A2 complex, ESK2, and a secondary CSR comprising a single-chain variable fragment directed to CD33 linked to a truncated CD28 costimulatory fragment, this unique platform confers specific T-cell cytotoxicity to the AML cells while sparing healthy hematopoietic cells, including CD33+ myelomonocytic normal cells. These data suggest that this new platform, named AbTCR-CSR, through the combination of a AbTCR CAR and CSR could be an effective strategy to reduce toxicity and improve specificity and clinical outcomes in adoptive T-cell therapy in AML.

    Abstract Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal of gynecological cancers. The therapeutic efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell directed against single antigens is limited by the heterogeneous target antigen expression in epithelial ovarian tumors. To overcome this limitation, we describe an engineered cell with both dual targeting and orthogonal cytotoxic modalities directed against two tumor antigens that are highly expressed on ovarian cancer cells: cell surface Muc16 and intracellular WT1. Muc16-specific CAR-T cells (4H11) were engineered to secrete a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) constructed from a TCR mimic antibody (ESK1) reactive with the WT1-derived epitope RMFPNAPYL (RMF) presented by HLA-A2 molecules. The secreted ESK1 BiTE recruited and redirected other T cells to WT1 on the tumor cells. We show that ESK1 BiTE-secreting 4H11 CAR-T cells exhibited enhanced anticancer activity against cancer cells with low Muc16 expression, compared to 4H11 CAR-T cells alone, both in vitro and in mouse tumor models. Dual orthogonal cytotoxic modalities with different specificities targeting both surface and intracellular tumor-associated antigens present a promising strategy to overcome resistance to CAR-T cell therapy in epithelial ovarian cancer and other cancers.
