Most of the global population resides in low- and middle-income countries, where current vaccines for COVID-19 remain largely unavailable. For the COVID-19 pandemic, the world will need access to >10 billion doses of vaccines, or more than double the annual volume of vaccines for all other diseases. Many vaccine candidates use the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) antigen. Here, we present an engineered RBD with improved production titers in Pichia pastoris, a yeast commonly used for large-scale, low-cost manufacturing by vaccine manufacturers. The modified RBD also raises an enhanced immune response in mice relative to the Wuhan-Hu-1 sequence used in current candidates. These combined traits make it a promising candidate for next-generation vaccines addressing emerging variants of the virus. Global containment of COVID-19 still requires accessible and affordable vaccines for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Recently approved vaccines provide needed interventions, albeit at prices that may limit their global access. Subunit vaccines based on recombinant proteins are suited for large-volume microbial manufacturing to yield billions of doses annually, minimizing their manufacturing cost. These types of vaccines are well-established, proven interventions with multiple safe and efficacious commercial examples. Many vaccine candidates of this type for SARS-CoV-2 rely on sequences containing the receptor-binding domain (RBD), which mediates viral entry to cells via ACE2. Here we report an engineered sequence variant of RBD that exhibits high-yield manufacturability, high-affinity binding to ACE2, and enhanced immunogenicity after a single dose in mice compared to the Wuhan-Hu-1 variant used in current vaccines. Antibodies raised against the engineered protein exhibited heterotypic binding to the RBD from two recently reported SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (501Y.V1/V2). Presentation of the engineered RBD on a designed virus-like particle (VLP) also reduced weight loss in hamsters upon viral challenge.
