Directed evolution of a lysosomal enzyme with enhanced activity at neutral pH by mammalian cell-surface display.

Abstract excerpt

Human beta-glucuronidase, due to low intrinsic immunogenicity in humans, is an attractive enzyme for tumor-specific prodrug activation, but its utility is hindered by low activity at physiological pH. Here we describe the development of a high-throughput screening procedure for enzymatic activity based on the stable retention of fluorescent reaction product in mammalian cells expressing properly folded...
