The original PACE system is about evolving biomolecules rapidly; PRANCE lets us do it in parallel, evolving up to 96 populations at once while monitoring the activity and changing conditions as needed. Phage enzymes and hydrolases play the most important role in the destruction of bacterial cells. Phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE) enables continuous directed evolution in bacteria by mapping the steps of Darwinian evolution onto the bacteriophage life cycle and allows directed evolution to occur on much faster timescales compared to conventional methods. However, evolution often fails to come up with a solution, requiring the researchers to guess which new set of conditions will do better. Here we perform phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE) of TEV protease, which canonically cleaves ENLYFQS, to cleave a very different target sequence, HPLVGHM, that is present in human IL-23.
