Abstract A central challenge of synthetic biology is to enable the growth of living systems using parts that are not derived from nature, but designed and synthesized in the laboratory. As an initial step toward achieving this goal, we probed the ability of a collection of >10 6 de novo designed proteins to provide biological functions necessary to sustain cell growth. Our collection of proteins was drawn from a combinatorial library of 102-residue sequences, designed by binary patterning of polar and nonpolar residues to fold into stable 4-helix bundles. We probed the capacity of proteins from this library to function in vivo by testing their abilities to rescue 27 different knockout strains of Escherichia coli, each deleted for a conditionally essential gene. Four different strains – Δ serB, Δ gltA, Δ ilvA, and Δ fes – were rescued by specific sequences from our library.

Further experiments demonstrated that a strain simultaneously deleted for all four genes was rescued by co-expression of four novel sequences. Thus, cells deleted for ∼0.1% of the E. Coli genome (and ∼1% of the genes required for growth under nutrient-poor conditions) can be sustained by sequences designed de novo.

Introduction In 1906 Jacques Loeb suggested that the synthesis of life is a significant goal of biology. A century later, the construction of natural genomes from off-the-shelf chemicals, demonstrates significant progress toward achieving this goal. Until now, however, most advances in synthetic biology have relied on collections of parts – genes, proteins, and regulatory elements – derived from sequences that already exist in nature. Must the toolkit of life be so restricted? Natural sequences comprise only a miniscule fraction of the theoretical sequence space that is possible for genes and proteins. Indeed, a collection containing just a single molecule of every one of the 20 100 possible 100-residue proteins would fill a volume larger than a mole of universes.

From this enormous potential for diversity, natural selection has operated over billions of years to yield a relatively small collection of sequences: Life is sustained by only ∼4,000 genes in E. Coli and approximately 5-fold more in humans,. These considerations might lead to the supposition that genes and proteins capable of sustaining life are somehow “special.” Is this true? Or might we find functional molecular parts in a collection of artificial sequences designed “from scratch” in the laboratory? To address these questions, we probed the ability of unevolved sequence space to encode functions that enable cell growth. We designed and constructed a collection of artificial genes encoding approximately 1.5×10 6 novel amino acid sequences.
