The high level expression of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli often leads to the formation of inclusion bodies that contain most of the expressed protein held together by non-covalent forces. The inclusion bodies are usually solubilized using strong denaturing agents like urea and guanidium hydrochloride. In this study recombinant Omp28 (rOmp28) protein of Brucella melitensis was expressed in two different vector systems and further efficient purification of the protein was done by modification in buffers to improve the yield and purity. Different concentrations of Triton X-100 and β-mercaptoethanol were optimized for the solubilization of inclusion bodies. The lysis buffer with 8M urea alone was not sufficient to solubilize the inclusion bodies. It was found that the use of 1% Triton X-100 and 20mM β-mercaptoethanol in lysis and wash buffers used at different purification steps under denaturing conditions increased the yield of purified rOmp28 protein. The final yield of purified protein obtained with modified purification protocol under denaturing conditions was 151 and 90mg/l of the culture or 11.8 and 9.37mg/g of wet weight of cells in pQE30UA and pET28a(+) vector respectively. Thus modified purification protocol yielded more than threefold increase of protein in pQE30UA as compared with purification by conventional methods. 相似文献

We have cloned, over expressed, and purified one of the two catalytic domains (residues Ala361 to Gly468, ACE-N) of human somatic angiotensin-I converting enzyme in Escherichia coli. This construct represents the N-catalytic domain including the two binding motifs and the 23 amino acid spacers as well as some amino acid residues before and after the motifs that might help in correct conformation. The overexpressed protein was exclusively localized to insoluble inclusion bodies. Inclusion bodies were solubilized in an 8-M urea buffer. Purification was carried out by differential centrifugation and gel filtration chromatography under denaturing conditions. About 12 mg of ACE-N peptide per liter of bacterial culture was obtained. The integrity of recombinant protein domain was confirmed by ESI/MS. Structural analysis using CD spectroscopy has shown that, in the presence of TFE, the ACE-N protein fragment has taken a conformation, which is consistent with the one found in testis ACE by X-ray crystallography. This purification procedure enables the production of an isotopically labeled protein fragment for structural studying in solution by NMR spectroscopy. 相似文献

Expression, single-step purification, and matrix-assisted refolding of a maize cytokinin glucoside-specific beta-glucosidase. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Availability of highly purified native beta-glucosidase Zm-p60.1 in milligram quantities was a basic requirement for analysis of structure-function relationships of the protein. Therefore, Zm-p60.1 was overexpressed to high levels as a fusion protein with a hexahistidine tag, (His)(6)Zm-p60.r, in Escherichia coli, resulting, however, in accumulation of most of the protein in insoluble inclusion bodies. Native (His)(6)Zm-p60.r was then purified either from the bacterial lysate soluble fraction or from inclusion bodies. In the first case, a single-step purification under native conditions based on immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) was developed. In the second case, a single-step purification protocol under denaturing conditions followed by IMAC-based matrix-assisted refolding was elaborated. The efficiency of the native protein purification from soluble fraction of bacterial homogenate was compared to the feasibility of purification and renaturation of the protein from inclusion bodies. Gain of authentic biological activity and quaternary structure after the refolding process was confirmed by K(m) determination and electrophoretic mobility under native conditions. The yield of properly refolded protein was assessed based on the specific activity of the refolded product. 相似文献

The purification of recombinant proteins by affinity chromatography is one of the most efficient strategies due to the high recovery yields and purity achieved. However, this is dependent on the availability of specific affinity adsorbents for each particular target protein. The diversity of proteins to be purified augments the complexity and number of specific affinity adsorbents needed, and therefore generic platforms for the purification of recombinant proteins are appealing strategies. This justifies why genetically encoded affinity tags became so popular for recombinant protein purification, as these systems only require specific ligands for the capture of the fusion protein through a pre-defined affinity tag tail. There is a wide range of available affinity pairs “tag-ligand” combining biological or structural affinity ligands with the respective binding tags. This review gives a general overview of the well-established “tag-ligand” systems available for fusion protein purification and also explores current unconventional strategies under development. 相似文献

The gene encoding mouse single chain antibody (ScFv) against human interferon alpha2b (IFN-alpha2b) was cloned into the plasmid vector under the control of promoter from phage T7 and the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies. After the isolation of inclusion bodies the desired protein containing affinity tail "6His tag" was solubilized and purified under denaturing conditions by immobilized-metal affinity chromatography. The soluble and purified ScFv was obtained by "on column" refolding and the recovery of biological activity were demonstrated. The higher levels of ScFv production for intracellular expression system in comparison with ScFv obtained by secretion were shown. The advantages of described refolding method are simplicity and high efficacy, moreover, refolding using a chromatographic process represents the manufacturable approach because it is easily automated using commercially available materials and preparative chromatography systems and also can be combined with simultaneous purification. 相似文献

The efficiencies of different procedures for purification of the capsid protein (CA) of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus are compared. Plasmids encoding both wild-type CA and two C-terminally modified sequences of CA suitable for affinity chromatography purification were prepared. CA was expressed in Escherichia coli (i) as a wild-type protein, (ii) C-terminally extended with a six-histidine tag (CA 6His), and (iii) as a protein containing a C-terminal fusion to a viral protease cleavage site followed by a six-histidine tag (CA 6aa6His). Electron microscopy was used for comparison of the resulting proteins, as CA is a structural protein with no enzymatic activity. We have found that these C-terminal fusions dramatically influenced the properties and morphology of structures formed by CA protein in E. coli. The formation of amorphous aggregates of CA was abolished and CA 6His and CA 6aa6His proteins formed organized structures. CA and CA 6aa6His accumulated in bacteria in inclusion bodies as insoluble proteins, CA 6His was found in a soluble form. Both six-histidine-tagged proteins were purified using affinity chromatography under either native (CA 6His) or denaturing (CA 6aa6His) conditions. CA protein was purified under denaturing conditions using gel-filtration chromatography followed by refolding. All proteins were obtained at a purity >98%. Both aforementioned C-terminal extensions led to dramatic changes in behavior of the products and they also affected the tendency to form organized structures within E. coli. We show here that the widely used histidine anchor may significantly alter the properties of the protein of interest. 相似文献

Summary Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a potent in vitro mitogen for capillary endothelial cells, stimulates angiogenesis in vivo, and may participate in tissue repair. Basic FGF is found in abundance in tissues such as brain, kidney, and cartilage. This study reports the expression, purification, and renaturation of a biologically active human basic fibroblast growth factor fusion protein (hbFGF-Fl) fromEscherichia coli. A prokaryotic expression vector was engineered to produce a tripartite fusion protein consisting of a purification tag, a protease-sensitive linker and collagen binding domain, and a cDNA sequence encoding the active fragment of hbFGF. The expressed hbFGF-F1 and hbFGF-F2 (it contains the collagen binding domain), located in inclusion bodies, were solubilized with 6 M guanidine-HCl and renatured by a glutathione redox system and protracted dialysis under various experimental conditions. The purification of the recombinant proteins was achieved by binding the His-tag of the fusion protein on a nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid metal chelate column. The biological activity of the recombinant growth factor was demonstrated by its ability to stimulate proliferation of human vein endothelial cells, monitored by [3H]thymidine incorporation, where commercial recombinant human bFGF (rhbFGF) served as a positive control. Purified rhbFGF-F1 and rhbFGF-F2 constructs exhibited proliferative activity comparable to commercial rhbFGF. The high-affinity binding was demonstrated by the binding of [3H]collagen to the rhbFGF-F2 protein immobilized on a Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid column. The rhbFGF-F2 fusion protein bound to collagen-coated surfaces with high affinity. Taken together, these results demonstrate that biologically active rhbFGF fusion proteins can be recovered from transformed bacteria by oxidative refolding; thus, providing a means for their high-yield production, purification, and renaturation from microorganisms. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the auxiliary collagen binding domain effectively targets the recombinant growth factor to type 1 collagen. These studies advance the technology necessary to generate large quantities of targeted bFGF fusion proteins for specific biomedical applications. 相似文献

Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), a ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the leaves of Phytolacca americana, reveals potent antiviral activity against viruses or cytotoxic action against cells once inside the cytoplasm. Therefore PAP is a good candidate to be used as an immunotoxin. We constructed a bacterial expression plasmid encoding PAP as a fusion protein with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a neuropeptide with receptor sites on several gynaecologic tumors. The resulting recombinant toxin was produced in Escherichia coli and accumulated in inclusion bodies. After purification under denaturing conditions, renaturated GnRH-PAP shows an IC(50) of 3 nM on in vitro translation assays and selectively inhibits the growth of the GnRH receptor positive Ishikawa cell line (ID(50) of 15 nM); on the other hand, neither GnRH nor PAP alone had any effect. 相似文献

Wilm's Tumor gene 1 (WT1) encodes a zinc finger protein with four distinct splice isoforms. WT1 has a critical role in genesis of various cancer types both at the DNA/RNA and the protein level. The zinc-finger DNA-binding capacity of the protein is located in the C-terminal domain. Two recombinant proteins, 6HIS-ZN-wt1 and 6HIS-ZN+wt1, corresponding to two alternative splice variants of the C-terminal regions of human WT1 (-KTS) and WT1 (+KTS), respectively, were over-expressed with hexa-histidine fusion tags in inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli for crystallization studies. A combination of Ni2+-NTA affinity and size-exclusion chromatography was applied for purification of the proteins in denaturing conditions. The effects of various buffers, salts and other additives were scrutinized in a systematic screening to establish the optimal conditions for solubility and refolding of the recombinant WT1 proteins. Circular dichroism analysis revealed the expected betabetaalpha content for the refolded proteins, with a notable degradation of the alpha-helical segment in the DNA-free state. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay with double-stranded DNA containing the double Egr1 consensus site 5'-GCG-TGG-GCG-3' confirmed that 6HIS-ZN-wt1 has higher DNA binding affinity than 6HIS-ZN+wt1. 相似文献

Human flotillin-1 (reggie-2), a major hydrophobic protein of biomembrane microdomain lipid rafts, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli with four different fusion tags (hexahistidine, glutathione S-transferase, NusA, and thioredoxin) to increase the yield. The best expressed flotillin-1 with thioredoxin tag was solubilized from inclusion bodies, first purified by immobilized metal affinity column under denaturing condition and direct refolded on column by decreasing urea gradient method. The thioredoxin tag was cleaved by thrombin, and the flotillin-1 protein was further purified by anion exchanger and gel filtration column. The purified protein was verified by denaturing gel electrophoresis and Western blot. The typical yield was 3.4 mg with purity above 98% from 1L culture medium. Using pull-down assay, the interaction of both the recombinant flotillin-1 and the native flotillin-1 from human erythrocyte membranes with c-Cbl-associated protein or neuroglobin was confirmed, which demonstrated that the recombinant proteins were functional active. This is the first report describing expression, purification, and characterization of active recombinant raft specific protein in large quantity and highly purity, which would facilitate further research such as X-ray crystallography. 相似文献

The cDNA encoding the goldfish (Carassius auratus) prolactin was expressed in Escherichia coli using the pRSETA expression vector. The recombinant goldfish prolactin (gfPRL) produced was a fusion protein containing a hexahistidyl sequence, which facilitated its purification on a Ni2+ column. The fusion protein was overexpressed in the bacteria as inclusion bodies and was successfully purified under denaturing conditions by one-step affinity chromatography. Repeated immunization of rabbits against the purified recombinant gfPRL allowed the production of a high-titer polyclonal antiserum. The IgG fraction of the antiserum was isolated on an immobilized Protein A–agarose column. The antibody recognized recombinant gfPRL, but not recombinant goldfish growth hormone (gfGH) or goldfish somatolactin (gfSL) on Western analyses. The purified antibody was able to recognize gfPRL, but not gfGH or gfSL, in a non-competitive antigen-capture ELISA. The assay was applied in monitoring the purification of native PRL from goldfish pituitaries. 相似文献

A protein corresponding to the extracellular 1-209 domain of the alpha-subunit of the nicotine acetylcholine receptor from the electric organ of Torpedo californica was prepared using the corresponding cDNA domain by culturing Escherichia coli cells on a synthetic medium supplemented with 5-fluoro-L-tryptophan. The presence of a (His)6 fragment preceding the 1-209 sequence allowed purification of the protein isolated from inclusion bodies by affinity chromatography on Ni-NTA Agarose. The incorporation of 5-fluorotryptophan residues was found by 19F NMR to be approximately 50%. The spectrum of the protein reduced under denaturing conditions and subsequently reoxidized in a dilute solution under denaturing conditions in the presence of 0.05% SDS was sufficiently resolved, which allowed partial assignment of 19F resonances using the Trp60Phe mutant protein. The ability of the prepared domains to specifically bind snake alpha-neurotoxins was demonstrated with the use of radioiodinated alpha-bungarotoxin and trifluoroacetylated alpha-cobratoxin. 相似文献

Prokaryotic expression of polypeptides as fusion proteins with glutathione-S-transferase has recently been reported as a one-step means of purifying recombinant protein. The usefulness of the glutathione-S-transferase/glutathioneagarose system, however, is significantly limited by the frequent synthesis of recombinant proteins in insuluble form by Escherichia coli. We have found that for 5 separate fusion proteins containing glutathione-S-transferase and different domains of the large cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, all were packaged in insoluble form by E. coli. Insolubility of these products made them inaccessible to one-step purification utilizing this scheme requires proper folding of recombinant glutathione-S-transferase to allow recognition on glutathione affinity agarose, we investigated the suitability of several alternative approaches for converting insoluble recombinant fusion proteins to a soluble form amenable to glutathione-agarose affinity purification. Low-temperature induction of fusion protein synthesis, but not incubation with anion-exchange resins, led to improved one-step purification of glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins from E. coli cell lysate using mild, nondenaturing conditions. Solubilization in 8 mol/L urea, but not with other chaotropic agents or detergents, also allowed preparative yields of affinity-purified fusion protein. These techniques increase the usefulness of this recombinant protein purification scheme, and should be broadly applicable to diverse polypeptides synthesized as fusions with glutathione-S-transferase. 相似文献

Recent reports have shown that synthesis of certain recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli results in the production of intracellular inclusion bodies. These studies have not analyzed the structure of the inclusion body especially regarding the intermolecular forces holding it together. We have examined structural aspects of inclusion bodies made in E. coli as a result of high level expression of the eukaryotic protein, calf prochymosin. Prochymosin is a monomeric protein containing three disulfide bridges. It was expressed at up to 20% of cell protein from a plasmid containing the E. coli tryptophan promoter, operator and ribosome binding site. Proteins in the inclusion bodies were analysed by Western blotting of SDS-polyacrylamide gels. When experiments were done using conditions which preserved the in vitro state of thiol groups, inclusions were shown to be composed of multimers of prochymosin molecules which were interlinked partly by disulfide bonds. The inclusion bodies also contained a high concentration of reduced prochymosin. The presence of intermolecular disulfides probably contributes to the difficulty of solubilizing recombinant prochymosin during its purification from E. coli. 相似文献

A putative rice trypsin/chymotrypsin inhibitor of the Bowman-Birk family, RBBI-8 of about 20 kDa, was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein bearing an N-terminal (His)6 purification tag. The expressed recombinant protein, rRBBI-8, is insoluble and accumulates as inclusion bodies. The insoluble protein was solubilized in 8 M urea under reducing environment and then refolded into its active conformation under optimized redox conditions. Strategies used to optimize yield and efficiency include selecting the redox system, increasing protein concentration during refolding by adding the denatured protein in a stepwise way, utilizing additives to prevent aggregation, and selecting buffer-exchanging conditions. A Ni-chelate affinity column was then employed to purify the renatured protein. rRBBI-8 shows strong inhibitory activity against trypsin and it can slightly inhibit chymotrypsin. In this study, a refolding and purification system was set up for this cysteine-rich recombinant protein expressed in a prokaryotic system. 相似文献
