蛋白免疫印迹法同时检测大、小分子蛋白的实验条件改进

目的:蛋白免疫印迹法是现代生物医学研究中广泛应用于蛋白定性和半定量分析的实验技术。然而,常规采用传统单一浓度凝胶的蛋白免疫印迹法在应用过程中仍有不足之处,如不能同时检测分子量很大和很小的蛋白,因而有必要探索一种增大凝胶有效分离范围的检测方法。本文提出采用组合凝胶来实现更大范围分子量蛋白的同时检测。方法:比较双浓度的组合凝胶与单一浓度凝胶的分离范围以及分析采用组合凝胶,蛋白免疫印迹法对大、小分子蛋白的检测效果。结果:12%/7.5%组合凝胶和15%/7.5%组合凝胶的分离范围显著大于相应的单一浓度凝胶。通过12%/7.5%组合凝胶,蛋白免疫印迹法同时检测到15-300 k Da范围内的大、小分子蛋白。结论:组合凝胶有助于蛋白免疫印迹法对分子量相差很大的蛋白进行同时检测分析,具有很强的实用性。     

An agarose-acrylamide composite native gel system suitable for separating ultra-large protein complexes

An agarose-acrylamide composite native gel (CNG) system has been developed for separating protein complexes of ultra-large molecular sizes (over 500kDa) and for analyzing protein-protein interactions in their native states. Various native gel conditions were explored and techniques were improved to facilitate the formation and performance of the CNG system. We demonstrate here that the CNG technique is capable of resolving a complex of RNA polymerase II and an associated factor from the free components, which had not been previously achieved with other methods. Furthermore, this CNG electrophoresis can be conveniently coupled to second-dimension sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for identification of protein components within discrete complexes separated during the CNG run. The CNG technique is particularly suitable for capturing dynamic protein-protein interactions as exemplified here by the formation and demonstration of RNA polymerase II-Fcp1 complex.     

Electrophoretic elution of nucleic acids from acrylamide and agarose gels

A simple method for electrophoretic elution of nucleic acids from gel slices is described. The procedure utilizes a standard tube gel system and can be completed in as little as one hour. Nucleic acids are recovered in a small volume with almost 100% efficiency. The procedure is applicable equally to acrylamide and agarose gels, and small as well as large RNA and DNA molecules. The eluted nucleic acids are essentially undegraded and are suitable for a variety of structural and biological analyses.     

Separation of biomacromolecules by electrofiltration through gel layers

A straightforward method for concomitant separation and isolation of biomacromolecules from a mixture in solution was developed. Three gel layers that comprise a middle separation layer of 10% polyacrylamide gel were constructed. This gel system was formed in an electroconcentration apparatus above a collection chamber surrounded at the bottom by a dialysis membrane. The mixture is applied over the gel layers where biomacromolecules are caused to migrate by electrophoresis through the gel system, where they are separated into discrete bands and electroeluted into the collection chamber without dismantling the apparatus. The isolated biomacromolecules are removed from the chamber in a highly pure and concentrated form ready for further investigations. Cooling can be applied throughout the whole process, and the setup and conditions of run can be modified according to the characteristics of the biomacromolecules to be purified. The components of a mixture containing the glycoprotein ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin monomer, dimer, and tetramer were successfully isolated as concentrated and highly pure fractions with good recoveries ranging from 70 to 89%. Other proteins were successfully isolated under denaturing conditions in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or 6 M urea.     

Chiral chemical absorption property of a cross-linked poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-sodium acrylate) thermoresponsive smart gel

This investigation leads to the chiral chemical absorption property of a thermoresponsive gel material. d ‐(+)‐α‐phenyl ethyl amine was taken as the chiral chemical. The gel material was synthesized by polymerizing 1:1 mole ratio of N‐isopropyl acrylamide and Na‐acrylate along with methylene bisacrylamide (2 wt.% of total monomer) as a cross‐linker using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and N, N, N′, N′‐tetra‐methyl ethylene diamine as an accelerator. The microporous nature of the gel material is observed by scanning electron microscope as well as by surface analysis. It is a pH as well as thermoresponsive gel. The highest gel swelling is observed at around pH 8.2 at room temperature (30 °C). The gel contains carboxylate (―COO^?) group in this slightly alkaline condition. In the ionic state, the mutual repulsion of the ionic groups helps in swelling the gel. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the gel is observed to be about 38 °C, which is higher than that of poly N‐isopropyl acrylamide itself (32 °C). This corroborates with the theory and other reported results that LCST increases with the incorporation of ionic moiety in the cross‐linked copolymer. The chiral chemical absorption of the gel material was monitored by measuring circular dichroism of the chiral compound in the presence and absence of gel using a circular dichroism spectropolarimeter (J‐810 L) (JASCO International Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). About 18% of d ‐(+)‐α‐phenyl ethyl amine is absorbed from its aqueous solution by 0.01 g of dry gel material (particle size: 106–212 µm) at room temperature. The absorption of the chiral compound is reversible with temperature having a sudden jump at LCST (38 °C) of the gel material. Chirality 24:506–511, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Reversed-phase HPLC separation of proteins on chemically bonded silica gel columns

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) separation of proteins on chemically bonded silica gel columns is described. Efficiency of nonporous alkylsilyl bonded silica gel is compared with that of a macroporous gel that has been widely used for the purpose. A comparative study of the separation under conventional and fast separation conditions is also given. The fast separation technique on the nonporous reversed-phase column has the advantage of improving the recovery of late-eluting hydrophobic and large proteins, such as ovalbumin and apoferritin.

Reaction and diffusion in a gel membrane reactor containing immobilized cells

To investigate the effect of diffusional limitations and heterogeneous cell distribution in a gel-immobilized cell system, a gel membrane reactor has been constructed. The reactor consists essentially of a gel layer with immobilized cells, flanked by two well-mixed chambers. Through one chamber substrate is pumped, and this chamber is the equivalent of the outside of a spherical gel bead. The second closed measuring chamber contains a small quantity of liquid that can equilibrate with the inside surface of the membrane, eventually after a long transient. Analysis of the liquid in this chamber can give direct information on substrate and product concentrations at the gel surface, and is and indication of the situation in the center of a gel bead. The gel membrane reactor appears to be an excellent tool to study diffusion and reaction in a gel-containing immobilized cells. A mathematical model with time- and position-dependent cell concentration and diffusion coefficient is described. Experimental data show the effective diffusion coefficient of glucose in an alginate gel to decrease with yeast cell concentration. Moreover, kinetic parameters could be determined, using the mathematical model. Microscopic analysis confirmed the proliferation of the gel-entrapped microorganisms in the outer layer of the matrix, as predicted by the model. Potentially, this type of reactor has a clear potential to study the physiology of gel-immobilized cells. (c) 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Thermodynamic analysis of sol–gel transition of gelatin in terms of water activity in various solutions

Sol–gel transition of gelatin was analyzed as a multisite stoichiometric reaction of a gelatin molecule with water and solute molecules. The equilibrium sol–gel transition temperature, T_t, was estimated from the average of gelation and melting temperature measured by differential scanning calorimetry. From T_t and the melting enthalpy, ΔH_sol, the equilibrium sol‐to‐gel ratio was estimated by the van't Hoff equation. The reciprocal form of the Wyman–Tanford equation, which describes the sol‐to‐gel ratio as a function of water activity, was successfully applied to obtain a good linear relationship. From this analysis, the role of water activity on the sol–gel transition of gelatin was clearly explained and the contributions of hydration and solute binding to gelatin molecules were separately discussed in sol–gel transition. The general solution for the free energy for gel‐stabilization in various solutions was obtained as a simple function of solute concentration. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Factors affecting densities, distribution and growth patterns of cells inside immobilization supports

Abstract: Immobilized cells can adopt different densities, distributions and growth patterns inside polysaccharide gel beads. These arrangements are closely related to both the morphological characteristics of a given cell strain and the internal structure of the gel bead. We have encountered different kinds of structural inhomogeneities (e.g. superficial crusts, radial shafts and rnicrochannels, discrete cavities, concentric ordered gel block layers, amorphous gel blocks, random fractures, etc.) in polysaccharicle gel beads while working under different experimental conditions. These supramacromolecular structure are important factors to take into account for the development of microorganisms inside the gel matrix and for the utilization of immobilized cells as biocatalysts.     

Characterization of the filamentous hemagglutin from Bordetella pertussis by gel electrophoresis

Summary A highly purified preparation of filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) from Bordetella pertussis was analyzed for its protein composition by gel electrophoretic methods. In this preparation of FHA the following native species could be detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) at pH 3.2: S, and S₂ (inactive subunits or fragments); two monomers, a major form designated Ia (144K), and a minor form lb, differing only in net charge; and three oligomeric forms, designated II (213K), III (595K) and IV (1064K). Hemagglutinating activity was associated predominantly with component Ia. PAGE of FHA after derivatization with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) showed there to be three major species, designated A, C and D. According to estimated molecular weight values, A, C and D are likely to correspond to S₂, Ia and II respectively. Isolated components II, III and IV yield all three SDS-species upon derivatization with SDS. Both moving boundary electrophoresis and gel electrofocusing showed hemagglutinating FHA to be a basic protein. Its apparent pI is 8.1.

A new approach for on-line enrichment in electrophoresis of dilute protein solutions

A method is described for on-line enrichment/zone sharpening of a sample of negatively charged proteins (an analogous method for cationic proteins can be designed). The sample is applied on the top of a 5-mm thick layer of a neutral polyacrylamide gel which rests on another 5-mm thick, large-pore polyacrylamide gel which contains positively charged groups. The latter gel layer is attached to the neutral gel column, used for the electrophoretic separation of the proteins. When a voltage is applied the proteins start migrating and become electrostatically adsorbed at the top of the charged, large-pore gel layer (pH 5.4). With the upper electrode vessel filled with a buffer of a pH higher (pH 7.7) than that employed in the enrichment step and with a voltage between the electrodes, these enriched proteins are released (because the enrichment gel is non-charged at pH 7.7) with zone sharpening and migrate into the 5-cm long column (i.d. 5 mm) of a neutral, large-pore polyacrylamide gel for electrophoretic analysis. Upon the electrophoretic migration from the enrichment gel into the separation gel a second zone sharpening may occur, if the increase in pH from 5.4 to 7.7 in the separation gel is not close to momentary. By employing colored test proteins the efficiency of the enrichment step is visually illustrated by a picture. The principle of the concentration method described has been employed also in chromatographic experiments and can with appropriate modifications also be used in other electrophoretic methods, such as capillary electrophoresis.
