Human interleukin-8 (hIL-8) is a member of interleukin family which functions as a chemotactic factor as well as an angiogenesis mediator. Previously, a study reported that hIL-8 could be purified from inclusion bodies using a prokaryotic expression system, however, the required re-naturation step limits the recovery of fully active protein. In this study, soluble recombinant hIL-8 was expressed as a secreted protein at high level in Pichia pastoris under the control of AOX1 (alcohol oxidase 1) promoter. A simple purification strategy was established to recover rhIL-8 from the fermentation supernatant. The process includes precipitation with 80% saturation ammonium sulfate and CM Sepharose ion exchange chromatography, yielding 30 mg/L purified rhIL-8 at over 95% purity. The obtained rhIL-8 displays high specific activity, stimulating the migration of mouse neutrophils at concentrations as low as 0.25 ng/mL. Our results demonstrate that P. pastoris expression system is an efficient tool for large-scale manufacture of active recombinant hIL-8 for various applications. 相似文献

Amongst the various endogenous growth factors, epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in normal wound healing of tissue such as skin, cornea and gastrointestinal tract. Various studies have proved that supplementing recombinant human EGF (rhEGF) results in significant augmentation of wound healing. In the present work, a high level expression system with poly-arginine sequences was used for the production of recombinant human EGF (rhEGF) as inclusion bodies. The inclusion bodies were solubilized and the protein was refolded by using expanded-bed adsorption chromatography. The renatured protein was digested with appropriate concentration of trypsin and subsequently the digested rhEGF is purified by passing through ion-exchange chromatography (Toyopearl-SP) to obtain a biologically active protein. This process is the shortest process with reduced number of steps of purification, eliminates the usage of preparative reversed phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) for final purification, which is an expensive technique. The purified protein was analyzed by RP-HPLC, showing a purity >99% and size exclusion chromatography profile shows that there are minimal aggregates, with 99% renatured active protein. The purified rhEGF showed a specific activity of 5 × 105 IU/mg protein, in comparison with NIBSC standard (1st International Standard of rDNA-derived EGF, Code 91/530). The process has been successfully adopted at 100 L fermentation scale and the rhEGF based formulation has been commercialized with brand name REGEN D, with excellent clinical results. 相似文献

Phosphodiesterase plays an important role in regulating inflammatory pathways and T cell function. The development of phosphodiesterase 7 inhibitor may give better efficacy profile over phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors. However, the recombinant phosphodiesterase 7 is required in large quantity for high-throughput screening of new drugs by in vitro enzymatic assays. In the present study, recombinant human PDE7A1 was expressed in Dictyostelium discoideum under the control of constitutively active actin-15 promoter. The cytosolic localization of the expressed protein was confirmed by immunofluorescence studies. Upto 2 mg of recombinant protein was purified using His-Tag affinity column chromatography followed by ion-exchange Resource Q column purification. The recombinant protein expressed in D. discoideum followed Michaelis–Menten kinetics similar to the protein expressed in mammalian system and showed no major changes in affinity to substrate or inhibitors. Thus, our study clearly demonstrates a robust expression system for successful bulk production of pharmacologically active isoform of human PDE7A1 required for high-throughput assays. 相似文献

The antimicrobial peptide CM4 is a 35-residue cationic peptide. To explore a new approach for the expression and purification
of CM4 in Escherichia coli, the CM4 gene was cloned into the vector pET32a to construct an expression vector pET32a-CM4. The fusion protein Trx-CM4,
purified by Ni2+-chelating chromatography, was cleaved by hydroxylamine hydrochloride to release recombinant CM4. Purification of recombinant
CM4 was achieved by reverse HPLC chromatography, and about 1.4 mg/l active recombinant CM4 with the purity more than 98% was
obtained. The recombinant CM4 showed antimicrobial activities that were similar to synthetic one.

The gene(NGFB) encoding the β subunit of mature human nerve growth factor (hNGFB) was subcloned into the pJLA503 expression vector under the control of bacteriophage promoters pR and pL, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein represented approximately 3% of the total cellular protein. Biologically active hNGFB was solubilized (0.2% total NGFB) and purified by cation-exchange chromatography and it yielded two bands on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions, corresponding to the monomeric (14 kDa) and homodimeric (26.5 kDa) forms of the molecule. Both hNGFB forms were immunopositive on Western blots with rabbit anti-NGFB antibodies; however, following additional purification, only the species corresponding to the hNGFB homodimer was biologically active on cultured chicken dorsal root ganglion neurons. These results demonstrate the feasibility of synthesizing the biologically active form of hNGFB in E. coli. 相似文献

Large scale production of recombinant human flotillin-2 (reggie-1) is desirable for structural and biochemical studies. However,
as the major lipid rafts specific hydrophobic protein, flotillin-2 was difficult to be expressed as soluble and functional
form in prokaryotic system. In this study, we first cloned and expressed human flotillin-2 in Escherichia coli with five different fusion tags: poly-histidine, glutathione S-transferase (GST), thioredoxin (TRX), N-Utilization substance
(NusA) and maltose binding protein (MBP). We screened the expression level and solubility of the five flotillin-2 fusion proteins,
the best MBP tagged flotillin-2 was then large scale produced. The optimized purification procedure included two steps of
chromatography: Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and anion exchange chromatography. The typical yield was 36.0 mg soluble and
functional recombinant flotillin-2 from 1 L of culture medium with purity above 97%. The activity of recombinant flotillin-2
was verified by pull-down assay with flotillin-1, showing that the purified recombinant flotillin-2 can specifically interact
with flotillin-1. The circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy showed that recombinant flotillin-2 had a very stable secondary
structure dominated by α-helix, β-turn and random structure. 相似文献

The bacterial expression and purification of human pi class glutathione S-transferase (hGST P1-1) as a hexahistidine-tagged polypeptide was performed. The expression plasmid for hGST P1-1 was constructed by ligation of the cDNA which codes for the protein into the expression vector pET-15b. The expressed protein was purified by either glutathione or metal (Co(2+)) affinity column chromatography, which produced the pure and fully active enzyme in one step with a yield of more than 30 mg/liter culture. The activity of the purified protein was 130 units mg(-1) from the GSH affinity column and 112 units mg(-1) from the Co(2+) affinity column chromatography. The purity of the protein was assessed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and size-exclusion chromatography. It showed that the real molecular weight of the hexahistidine-tagged hGST P1-1 polypeptide chain agreed with the calculated value and that the purified protein eluted as an apparent homodimer on the gel filtration column. Our expression system allows the expression and purification of active hexahistidine-tagged hGST P1-1 in high yield with no need of removal of the hexahistidine tag and gives pure protein in one purification step allowing further study of this enzyme. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein E3 (ApoE3) is an important apolipoprotein in plasma and plays a critical role in lipid transport and cholesterol homeostasis. As the only natural source of this protein, human blood cannot provide large-scale ApoE3 for research and applications. Therefore, in our study, a Pichia pastoris expression system was first used to obtain a high-level expression of secreted, recombinant human ApoE3 (rhApoE3).The full-length sequence encoding ApoE3, gained by RT-PCR, was inserted into the pPICZαC vector and transformed into P. pastoris strain X33, and then the high expression transformants with zeocin resistance were obtained. The growth conditions of the transformant strains were optimized in 50 ml conical tubes including pH and inducing time. After induction with methanol, the expression level of rhApoE3 was 120 mg/L in 80 L fermentor. RhApoE3 was purified more than 94% purity using SP Sepharose ion exchange chromatography and source™ 30RPC. A preliminary biochemical characterization of purified rhApoE3 was performed by analyzing the ability of inhibiting PDGF-induced proliferation of rat coronary artery smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and the results demonstrated that the function of purified rhApoE3 was similar to natural human ApoE3. 相似文献

Three forms of recombinant protein complexes comprising the human prorenin (hPro) and (pro)renin receptor (hPRR) (hPRR/prorenin)
were successfully expressed in the silkworm larvae using Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) bacmids. They were localized in the fat body cells and formed a prorenin-bound hPRR complex.
The expressed levels of hPro and hPRR were similar judging from Western blotting. The hPRR/prorenin complex containing 40 μg
of hPRR (yield, 43%) and 30 μg of hPro (yield, 34%) was purified from 15 silkworm larvae by a series of purification using
anti-FLAG and Strep-Tactin affinity chromatography. The renin activity of the purified hPRR/prorenin complex was 3.8-fold
that of the mixture of hPRR and hPro expressed individually in vitro judging from the renin assay. These results show that
the unstable transmembrane protein, hPRR, was coexpressed stably with ligand, hPro, and formed a stable protein, hPRR/prorenin
complex that showed a high catalytic active form. 相似文献

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a multifunctional cellular regulator that belongs to the IL-6 subfamily and can act on a wide variety of cells, which has potential roles in the regulation of gene activation, cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. In order to achieve the higher level yield of recombinant human Oncostatin M (rhOSM), we determined the optimal pH condition of rhOSM expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris X-33 and carried out the fermentation culture of rhOSM in 80 L fermentor in a fed-batch mode. SDS–PAGE and Western blotting assays demonstrated that rhOSM was successfully expressed and secreted into the culture medium with an apparent molecular weight of 28 kDa. N-terminals were correctly processed through amino-terminal sequencing. The maximum yield of rhOSM was 280 mg/L. rhOSM was purified by phenyl Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography and SP Sepharose Fast Flow cation exchange chromatography, which resulted in a final yield of purified rhOSM of 6.94 g with a recovery of 62% and a purity of 95%. The purified rhOSM had a specific growth inhibition activity of 6.26 × 104 RU/μg, which was commensurate with typical values (6.2 × 104 RU/μg) obtained with standard hOSM. 相似文献

Arginine kinase (AK) is a phosphotransferase that plays a critical role in energy metabolism in invertebrates. The gene encoding Locusta migratoria manilensis AK was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli by two prokaryotic expression plasmids, pET-30a and pET-28a. The recombinant protein was expressed as inclusion bodies using pET-30a. After denaturation, the recombinant AK was successfully renatured and confirmed to be enzymatically active. Addition of Tween-20 and SDS to the dilution system led to higher renaturation efficiency. Using another expression plasmid, pET-28a, and changing the expression conditions resulted in a soluble and functional form of AK, which was purified by an improved method using Sephadex G-75 chromotography to a final yield of 358 mg L− 1 of LB medium. Some parameters for the renatured and soluble forms of AK, including Km, Kd, specific activity, electrophoretic mobility and isoelectric focusing, were identical with those of AK obtained directly from L. migratoria manilensis leg muscle. Comparison of kinetic constants with those of AKs from other sources indicated that L. migratoria manilensis AKs have the highest kcat and stronger synergistic substrate binding. The first report of a concise purification method enables the enzyme to be prepared in large quantities. This research should enable further detailed investigations of the enzymatic mechanism by site directed mutagenesis techniques. 相似文献

Membrane progestin receptors (mPRs) are responsible for mediating the rapid, nongenomic activity of progestins and belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. mPRs are also considered as attractive proteins to draw a new medicinal approach. In this study, we optimized a procedure for the expression and purification of recombinant human mPRα protein (hmPRα) by a methylotropic yeast, Pichia pastoris, expression system. The protein expressed in crude membrane fractions exhibited a binding affinity of Kd = 3.8 nM and Bmax = 288.8 fmol/mg for progesterone. These results indicated that the hmPRα expressed in yeast was active. Solubilized hmPRα was purified through three column chromatography steps. A nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) column was first used, and the mPRα proteins were then bound to cellulose resin with free amino groups (Cellufine Amino) and finally passed through an SP-Sepharose column. The optimization of expression and purification conditions resulted in a high yield of purified hmPRα (1.3–1.5 mg from 1 L culture). The purified hmPRα protein demonstrated progesterone binding (Kd = 5.2 nM and Bmax = 111.6 fmol/mg). The results indicated that we succeeded in solubilizing and purifying hmPRα in an active form. Sufficient amount of active hmPRα protein will support the establishment of applications for the screening of ligands for mPRα. 相似文献

l-glutamine (Gln) is an important conditionally necessary amino acid in human body and potential demand in food or medicine
industry is expected. High efficiency of l-Gln production by coupling genetic engineered bacterial glutamine synthetase (GS) with yeast alcoholic fermentation system
has been developed. We report here first the application of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) fusion technology to the
expression and purification of recombinant Bacillus subtilis GS. In order to obtain GS with high Gln-forming activity, safety and low cost for food and pharmaceutics industry, 0.1% (w/v)
lactose was selected as inducer. The fusion protein was expressed in totally soluble form in E. coli, and expression was verified by SDS–PAGE and western blot analysis. The fusion protein was purified to 90% purity by nickel
nitrilo-triacetic acid (Ni–NTA) resin chromatography with a yield of 625 mg per liter fermentation culture. After the SUMO/GS
fusion protein was cleaved by the SUMO protease, the cleaved sample was reapplied to a Ni–NTA column. Finally, about 121 mg
recombinant GS was obtained from 1 l fermentation culture with no less than 96% purity. The recombinant purified GS showed
great transferase activity (23 U/mg), with 25 U recombinant GS in a 50 ml reaction system, a biosynthesis yield of 27.5 g/l l-Gln was detected by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or thin-layer chromatography. Thus, the application of SUMO
technology to the expression and purification of GS potentially could be employed for the industrial production of l-Gln. 相似文献

We present a system for the expression and purification of recombinant sea raven type II antifreeze protein, a cysteine-rich, C-type lectin-like globular protein that has proved to be a difficult target for recombinant expression and purification. The cDNAs encoding the pro- and mature forms of the sea raven protein were cloned into a modified pMT Drosophila expression vector. These constructs produced N-terminally His(6)-tagged pro- and mature forms of the type II antifreeze protein under the control of a metallothionein promoter when transfected into Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells. Upon induction of stable cell lines the two proteins were expressed at high levels and secreted into the medium. The proteins were then purified from the cell medium in a simple and rapid protocol using immobilized metal affinity chromatography and specific protease cleavage by tobacco etch virus protease. The proteins demonstrated antifreeze activity indistinguishable from that of wild-type sea raven antifreeze protein purified from serum as illustrated by ice affinity purification, ice crystal morphology, and their ability to inhibit ice crystal growth. This expression and purification system gave yields of 95 mg/L of fully active mature sea raven type II AFP and 9.6 mg/L of the proprotein. This surpasses all previous attempts to express this protein in Escherichia coli, baculovirus-infected fall armyworm cells and Pichia pastoris and will provide sufficient protein for structural analysis. 相似文献

The product of human fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is a tumor suppressor protein of still largely unknown cellular background. We have shown previously that it binds
protoporphyrin IX (a photosensitizer) which alters its enzymatic activity in vitro. Fhit, diadenosine triphosphate (Ap3A) hydrolase, possesses the active site with histidine triad His-φ-His-φ-His-φφ. So-called histidine Fhit mutants (His94Asn,
His96Asn and His98Asn) exhibit highly reduced activity in vitro, however, their antitumor function has not been fully described
yet. In this work we have cloned the cDNAs of histidine mutants into pPROEX-1 vector allowing the production of His6-fusion proteins. The mutated proteins: Fhit-H94N, Fhit-H96N and Fhit-H98N, were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and purified (up to 95%) by an improved, one-step affinity chromatography on Ni-nitrilotriacetate resin. The final
yield was 2 mg homogenous proteins from 1 g bacteria (wet wt). The activity of purified proteins was assessed by previously
described assay. The same purification procedure yielded 0.8 mg/ml and highly active wild-type Fhit protein (K
m value for Ap3A of 5.7 μM). Importantly, purified mutant forms of Fhit also interact with a photosensitizer, protoporphyrin IX in vitro. 相似文献

Growth hormone is one of the most important hormones, which is involved in many reproductive processes of giant panda Ailuropoda melanoleuca. In this study, the mature peptide of A. melanoleuca growth hormone (AmGH) was successfully expressed and secreted in Pichia pastoris under the control of AOX1 promoter. The expression condition for AmGH in P. pastoris, such as the expression time, pH value and methanol concentration in the BMMY were optimized and the AmGH expression level is about 100 mg/L using GS115 recombinant under optimized condition (96 h of 1.5% methanol induction). The secreted nascent AmGH were purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation. The mature AmGH protein exhibited a molecular mass of approximately 22 kDa on SDS–PAGE. This study would provide a new opportunity for large-scale expression and purification of AmGH, which might facilitate studies on the biological activity of AmGH. 相似文献

The human beta defensins-4 (hBD4) exhibit a broad range of antimicrobial properties and are thought to be ideal therapeutic
agents because of their potential ability to circumvent the problems of acquired resistance often observed with other antimicrobial
therapies. We report here the application of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) fusion technology to the expression and
purification of cationic antibacterial peptide hBD4. The fusion protein expressed in a soluble form was purified to a purity
of 90% by Ni-IDA chromatography and 637 mg protein of interest was obtained per liter of fermentation culture. After the SUMO-hBD4
fusion protein was cleaved by the SUMO protease at 30 °C for 1 h, the cleaved sample was re-applied to a Ni-IDA. Finally,
about 166 mg recombinant hBD4 was obtained from 1 L fermentation culture with no less than 96% purity and the recombinant
hBD4 had similar antimicrobial properties to the synthetic hBD4. Thus, the SUMO-mediated peptide expression and purification
system potentially could be employed for the production of recombinant cytotoxic peptides. 相似文献

Microcystis viridis lectin (MVL), a sugar-binding protein originally isolated from freshwater blue-green algae Microcystis viridis, has been reported to have potent anti-HIV activity. In this paper, we described the expression and purification of recombinant-MVL
(R-MVL) gene in E. coli. The results demonstrated that the R-MVL in shake flask cultures was primarily expressed either in the form of inclusion
bodies at 37°C or in the soluble fraction at 23 °C. Secondly, a one-step purification based on nickel-affinity chromatography
was employed and 15 mg of highly purified (>95%) R-MVL from 1 l of cell cultures was yielded. The purified R-MVL was then
subjected to MALDI-TOF–MS analysis for protein identification. In conclusion, for the first time, the R-MVL was successfully
cloned and expressed in E. coli, which is useful for further study and large-scale cost-effective production of MVL protein. 相似文献

Pinellia ternata agglutinin (PTA) from the tubers of P. ternata is a monocot mannose-binding lectin that catalytically agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes. The potential effect of PTA has
gained considerable interest in recent years owing to clinical use of native PTA as the preparation against cancer and for
plant protection against insect pests. Here we report a successful strategy to allow high-level expression of PTA as inclusion
bodies in Escherichia coli M15. Purification of refolded recombinant protein from solubilized inclusion bodies by Ni-NTA agarose affinity chromatography
yielded biological activity recombinant PTA (final yield of about 10 mg/L). The recombinant PTA agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes
to a dilution similar to that determined for “native” lectin purified from P. ternata. The expression and purification system makes it possible to obtain sufficient quantities of biologically active and homogenous
recombinant PTA sufficient to carry out advanced clinical trials. This is the first report on the large-scale expression and
purification of biologically active recombinant PTA from E. coli. 相似文献

Antibacterial peptide CM4 (ABP-CM4) is a small cationic peptide with broad-spectrum activities against bacteria, fungi, and
tumor cells, which may possibly be used as an antimicrobial agent. We report here the application of small ubiquitin-related
modifier (SUMO) fusion technology to the expression and purification of cationic antibacterial peptide ABP-CM4. The fusion
protein expressed in a soluble form was purified to a purity of 90% by Ni-IDA chromatography and 112 mg protein of interest
was obtained per liter of fermentation culture. After the SUMO–CM4 fusion protein was cleaved by the SUMO protease at 30 °C
for 1 h, the cleaved sample was re-applied to a Ni-IDA. Finally, about 24 mg recombinant CM4 was obtained from 1 l fermentation
culture with no less than 96% purity and the recombinant CM4 had similar antimicrobial properties to the synthetic CM4. Thus,
the SUMO-mediated peptide expression and purification system potentially could be employed for the production of recombinant
cytotoxic peptides. 相似文献
