The immobilization of multiple cellulase complexes receiving attention for use in the efficient hydrolysis of celluloses. In this study, the magnetosome display system was employed for the preparation of systems mimicking natural multiple cellulase complexes (cellulosomes) on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Initially, two fluorescent proteins, namely, green fluorescent protein and mCherry, were immobilized on MNPs. Fluorescence analysis revealed the close proximity of two different proteins on the MNPs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis showed that stoichiometrically equivalent amounts of the proteins were immobilized on the MNPs. Next, endoglucanase (EG) and beta-glucosidase (BG) were immobilized on MNPs to give EG/BG-MNPs. The resulting MNPs were applied for the hydrolysis of celluloses, with rapid hydrolysis of carboxymethyl cellulose being observed. Furthermore, the fusion of the cellulose-binding domain to EG/BG-MNPs promoted improved hydrolysis activity against the insoluble cellulose. We could therefore conclude that the magnetosome display system can expand the possibilities of mimicking natural cellulosome organization on MNPs.
