Expression of SMAP-29 cathelicidin-like peptide in bacterial cells by intein-mediated system

In this work, the intein fusion approach was used for expression and purification of cathelicidin-like peptide SMAP-29 from Escherichia coli cultures. To overcome the high toxicity of the antimicrobial peptide against host cells, both C- and N-terminal fusions with Sce VMA intein were evaluated. The fusion of SMAP-29 with the N-terminus of intein had a dramatic lethal effect. In contrast, chimeric constructs harboring SMAP-29 linked to the C-terminus of intein displayed no significant inhibition of bacterial growth. Expression of intein-SMAP fusion protein was then induced in ER2566 E. coli strain by IPTG addition and different experimental conditions were tested in order to optimize the recovery of the soluble protein complex. Peptide purification was carried out by affinity chromatography: the chitin binding domain linked to intein was used to immobilize the chimeric protein on a chitin column and intein-mediated splicing of target peptide was obtained by thiol addition. Microbroth dilution assay showed that recombinant SMAP-29 displayed a high, dose-dependent bactericidal activity. These data demonstrate that the fusion of SMAP-29 with C-intein was able to inactivate the antimicrobial properties of the cathelicidin peptide allowing the expression of fusion protein in the host cell. The intein-mediated purification supplied an effective way to recover the fusion partner in its proper biologically active form.

Intein-mediated rapid purification and characterization of a novel recombinant agonist for VPAC2

In order to obtain the recombinant VPAC2 agonist efficiently by intein-mediated single column purification, a gene encoding 32-amino acids peptide was designed, synthesized and cloned into Escherichia coli expression vector pKYB. The recombinant vector pKY-ROM was transferred into E. coli ER2566 cells and the target protein was over-expressed as a fusion to the N-terminus of a self-cleavable affinity tag. After the rMROM-intein-CBD fusion protein was purified by chitin-affinity chromatography, the self-cleavage activity of the intein was induced by beta-mercaptoethanol and the rMROM with the homogeneity over 95% was released from the chitin-bound intein tag. The recombinant linear rMROM competitively displaced [125I] PACAP38 on VPAC2 with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 60 +/- 5 nM, whereas the IC50 of rMROM at human VPAC1 was observed up to 10 microM and no binding was detected at PAC1. rMROM stimulated the cAMP accumulation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human VPAC2 with a half-maximal stimulatory concentration (EC50) of 0.6 nM, which was 500-fold less potent at VPAC1and had no activity on PAC1. An efficient production procedure of a novel recombinant VPAC2-selective agonist was established.

Study of protein splicing and intein-mediated peptide bond cleavage under high-cell-density conditions

Protein splicing elements (inteins), capable of catalyzing controllable peptide bond cleavage reactions, have been used to separate recombinant proteins from affinity tags during affinity purification. Since the inteins eliminate the use of a protease in the recovery process, the intein-mediated purification system has the potential to significantly reduce recovery costs for the industrial production of recombinant proteins. Thus far, the intein system has only been examined and utilized for expression and purification of recombinant proteins at the laboratory scale for cells cultivated at low cell densities. In this study, protein splicing and in vitro cleavage of intein fusion proteins expressed in high-cell-density fed-batch fermentations of recombinant Escherichia coli were examined. Three model intein fusion constructs were used to examine the stability and splicing/cleavage activities of the fusion proteins produced under high-cell-density conditions. The data indicated that the intein fusion protein containing the wild-type intein catalyzed efficient in vivo protein splicing during high-cell-density cultivation. Also, the intein fusion proteins containing modified inteins catalyzed efficient thiol-induced in vitro cleavage reactions. The results of this study demonstrated the potential feasibility of using the intein-mediated protein purification system for industrial-scale production of recombinant proteins.     

Profluorescent protein fragments for fast bimolecular fluorescence complementation in vitro

Here, we present a protocol for isolating the large N-terminal fragment of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) with a preformed chromophore. By itself, the chromophore-containing EGFP fragment exhibits very weak fluorescence, but it rapidly becomes brightly fluorescent upon complementation with the corresponding small, C-terminal EGFP fragment. Each EGFP fragment is cloned and overexpressed in E. coli as a fusion with self-splitting intein. After solubilizing and refolding these fusions from inclusion bodies, both EGFP fragments are cleaved from intein and purified using chitin columns. When these EGFP fragments are linked with the two complementary oligonucleotides and combined in equimolar amounts, fluorescence develops within a few minutes. The isolation of profluorescent protein fragments from recombinant E. coli cells requires approximately 3 d, and their conjugation to oligonucleotides requires 1-4 h.
