Abstract
The combination of phage display technology with high-throughput sequencing enables in-depth analysis of library diversity and selection-driven dynamics. We applied short-read sequencing of the mutagenized region on focused display libraries of two homologous nucleic acid modification eraser proteins—AlkB and FTO—biopanned against methylated DNA. This revealed enriched genotypes with small indels and concomitant doubtful amino acid motifs within the FTO library. Nanopore sequencing of the entire display vector showed additional enrichment of large deletions overlooked by region-specific sequencing, and further impacted the interpretation of the obtained amino acid motifs. We could attribute enrichment of these corrupted clones to amplification bias due to arduous FTO display slowing down host cell growth as well as phage production. This amplification bias appeared to be stronger than affinity-based target selection. Recommendations are provided for proper sequence analysis of phage display data, which can improve motive discovery in libraries of proteins that are difficult to display.
