Modular surface display of a BM3 passenger employing different membrane anchors. (A) The membrane anchor is provided with a SC and the BM3 passenger with a matching ST binding unit. Both parts are expressed separately from individual plasmids, post‐translationally assembled through the specific, covalent SC/ST interaction and the complex is finally installed in the E. coli cell envelope via the membrane anchor. (B) Due to the modularity of the system, the different membrane anchors Lpp‐OmpA (I), PgsA (II), INPNC (III) and AIDA‐I (IV) can be compared regarding their performance for surface display of a BM3‐ST passenger. (C) Schematic representation of genetic constructs for the different membrane anchors fused to SC domains via flexible GGGGS linkers. CRD: central repeat domain; ctxB SP: signal peptide of cholera toxin B subunit.
