    Abstract Here we describe YESS 2.0, a highly versatile version of the yeast endoplasmic sequestration screening (YESS) system suitable for engineering and characterizing protein/peptide modifying enzymes such as proteases with desired new activities. By incorporating features that modulate gene transcription as well as substrate and enzyme spatial sequestration, YESS 2.0 achieves a significantly higher operational and dynamic range compared with the original YESS. To showcase the new advantages of YESS 2.0, we improved an already efficient TEV protease variant (TEV-EAV) to obtain a variant (eTEV) with a 2.25-fold higher catalytic efficiency, derived almost entirely from an increase in turnover rate (

    Abstract Affinity probes are useful tools for determining molecular targets and elucidating mechanism of action for novel, bioactive compounds. In the case of covalent inhibitors, activity based probes are particularly valuable for ensuring acceptable selectivity margins. However, there is a variety of bioorthogonal chemistry reactions available for modifying compounds of interest with clickable tags. Here, we describe a direct comparison of tetrazine ligation and strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition using benzimidazole based probes to bind their known target, the gastric proton pump, ATP4A. This study validates the use of chemical probes for target identification and illustrates the superior efficiency of tetrazine ligation for copper-free click systems. In addition, we have identified several novel binding partners of benzimidazole probes: Isoform 2 of deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 protein (DMBT1) and three uncharacterized proteins.

    Abstract We used plasma IgG proteomics to study the molecular composition and temporal durability of polyclonal IgG antibodies triggered by ancestral SARS-CoV-2 infection, vaccination, or their combination ("hybrid immunity"). Infection, whether primary or post-vaccination, mainly triggered an anti-spike antibody response to the S2 domain, while vaccination predominantly induced anti-RBD antibodies. Immunological imprinting persisted after a secondary (hybrid) exposure, with >60% of the ensuing serological response originating from the initial antibodies generated during the first exposure. We highlight one instance where hybrid immunity arising from breakthrough infection resulted in a marked increase in the breadth and affinity of a highly abundant vaccination-elicited plasma IgG antibody, SC27. With an intrinsic binding affinity surpassing a theoretical maximum (K
    Highlights: ▪ Infection and vaccination elicit unique IgG antibody profiles at the molecular level▪ Immunological imprinting varies between infection (S2/NTD) and vaccination (RBD)▪ Hybrid immunity maintains the imprint of first infection or first vaccination▪ Hybrid immune IgG plasma mAbs have superior neutralization potency and breadth.

    Abstract Due to the emerging importance of the bromodomain binding region in the study of epigenetic effectors and the vast implications for a wide variety of human disease, the bromodomain region of human ATPase family AAA+ (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2) was targeted for chemical synthesis. The ATAD2 bromodomain (130 aa) was divided into five strategic fragments to be assembled using native chemical ligation with a focus on maximal convergency and efficiency. The fragments were assembled with one cysteine and three thioleucine ligations, unveiling the native alanine and leucine amino acids at the ligation points following metal-free dethiylation. Synthetic highlights of the study are a photolabile dimethoxynitrobenzyl-protected glutamic acid side chain used to impede hydrolysis of the C-terminal Glu-thioester, a thiazolidine-protected thioleucine, and an efficient assembly of three fragments in a single reaction vessel with dual-mode kinetic-standard chemical ligation. With a focus on material throughput and convergency, the five peptide fragments were assembled into the native ATAD2 bromodomain region with a total of three HPLC events in 8% overall yield from the fragments.

    Abstract γ-Secretase is a multisubunit complex that catalyzes intramembranous cleavage of transmembrane proteins. The lipid environment forms membrane microdomains that serve as spatio-temporal platforms for proteins to function properly. Despite substantial advances in the regulation of γ-secretase, the effect of the local membrane lipid microenvironment on the regulation of γ-secretase is poorly understood. Here, we characterized and quantified the partitioning of γ-secretase and its substrates, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Notch, into lipid bilayers using solid-supported model membranes. Notch substrate is preferentially localized in the liquid-disordered (L

Immunological imprinting persisted after a secondary (hybrid) exposure, with >60% of the ensuing serological response originating from the initial antibodies generated during the first exposure. We highlight one instance where hybrid immunity arising from breakthrough infection resulted in a marked increase in the breadth and affinity of a highly abundant vaccination-elicited plasma IgG antibody, SC27. With an intrinsic binding affinity surpassing a theoretical maximum (K<sub>D</sub> < 5 pM), SC27 demonstrated potent neutralization of various SARS-CoV-2 variants and SARS-like zoonotic viruses (IC<sub>50</sub> ~0.1–1.75 nM) and provided robust protection in vivo. Cryo-EM structural analysis unveiled that SC27 binds to the RBD class 1/4 epitope, with both VH and VL significantly contributing to the binding interface. These findings suggest that exceptionally broad and potent antibodies can be prevalent in plasma and can largely dictate the nature of serological neutralization.

    Abstract The molecular composition and binding epitopes of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that circulate in blood plasma after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are unknown. Proteomic deconvolution of the IgG repertoire to the spike glycoprotein in convalescent subjects revealed that the response is directed predominantly (>80%) against epitopes residing outside the receptor binding domain (RBD). In one subject, just four IgG lineages accounted for 93.5% of the response, including an amino (N)-terminal domain (NTD)-directed antibody that was protective against lethal viral challenge. Genetic, structural, and functional characterization of a multidonor class of "public" antibodies revealed an NTD epitope that is recurrently mutated among emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. These data show that "public" NTD-directed and other non-RBD plasma antibodies are prevalent and have implications for SARS-CoV-2 protection and antibody escape.

    Abstract Although humoral immunity is essential for control of SARS-CoV-2, the molecular composition, binding epitopes and effector functions of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that circulate in blood plasma following infection are unknown. Proteomic deconvolution of the circulating IgG repertoire (Ig-Seq) to the spike ectodomain (S-ECD) in four convalescent study subjects revealed that the plasma response is oligoclonal and directed predominantly (>80%) to S-ECD epitopes that lie outside the receptor binding domain (RBD). When comparing antibodies directed to either the RBD, the N-terminal domain (NTD) or the S2 subunit (S2) in one subject, just four IgG lineages (1 anti-S2, 2 anti-NTD and 1 anti-RBD) accounted for 93.5% of the repertoire. Although the anti-RBD and one of the anti-NTD antibodies were equally potently neutralizing in vitro, we nonetheless found that the anti-NTD antibody was sufficient for protection to lethal viral challenge, either alone or in combination as a cocktail where it dominated the effect of the other plasma antibodies. We identified in vivo protective plasma anti-NTD antibodies in 3/4 subjects analyzed and discovered a shared class of antibodies targeting the NTD that utilize unmutated or near-germline IGHV1-24, the most electronegative IGHV gene in the human genome. Structural analysis revealed that binding to NTD is dominated by interactions with the heavy chain, accounting for 89% of the entire interfacial area, with germline residues uniquely encoded by IGHV1-24 contributing 20% (149 Å<sup>2</sup>). Together with recent reports of germline IGHV1-24 antibodies isolated by B-cell cloning our data reveal a class of shared IgG antibodies that are readily observed in convalescent plasma and underscore the role of NTD-directed antibodies in protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
