Popis: | Ordered two-dimensional arrays such as S-layers1,2 and designed analogues3–5 have intrigued bioengineers,6,7 but with the exception of a single lattice formed with flexible linkers,8 they are constituted from just one protein component. For modulating assembly dynamics and incorporating more complex functionality, materials composed of two components would have considerable advantages.9–12 Here we describe a computational method to generate co-assembling binary layers by designing rigid interfaces between pairs of dihedral protein building-blocks, and use it to design a p6m lattice. The designed array components are soluble at mM concentrations, but when combined at nM concentrations, rapidly assemble into nearly crystalline micrometer-scale arrays nearly identical (based on TEM and SAXS) to the computational design model in vitro and in cells without the need for a two-dimensional support. Because the material is designed from the ground up, the components can be readily functionalized, and their symmetry reconfigured, enabling formation of ligand arrays with distinguishable surfaces which we demonstrate can drive extensive receptor clustering, downstream protein recruitment, and signaling. Using AFM on supported bilayers and quantitative microscopy on living cells, we show that arrays assembled on membranes have component stoichiometry and structure similar to arrays formed in vitro, and thus that our material can impose order onto fundamentally disordered substrates like cell membranes. In sharp contrast to previously characterized cell surface receptor binding assemblies such as antibodies and nanocages, which are rapidly endocytosed, we find that large arrays assembled at the cell surface suppress endocytosis in a tunable manner, with potential therapeutic relevance for extending receptor engagement and immune evasion. Our work paves the way towards a synthetic cell biology, where a new generation of multi-protein macroscale materials is designed to modulate cell responses and reshape synthetic and living systems.
