High-performance capillary electrophoresis is a high-technology micro-separation method. Short run time, full automation and minute amounts of sample make it a very attractive technique. In this report we describe studies of protein crystals by capillary electrophoresis. We show how high-performance capillary electrophoresis can be used effectively for rapid evaluation and examination of the protein solution used for crystallization, the protein crystals (solubilized) and surrounding mother liquor. With coated capillaries, the runs were reproducible and disturbing effects, such as electroendosmosis and interaction of the proteins with the capillary wall, were suppressed efficiently. We recommend this new technique as a powerful and routine companion to protein crystallography. 相似文献

The ability to collect sufficient quantities of analytes from capillary electrophoresis for subsequent analyses is demonstrated. Fractions collected have been analyzed using the following techniques: capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and protein sequencing. Fractions can be collected directly into small volumes of buffer or directly onto membrane surfaces. Relevant parameters such as capillary diameter, mass loading, and separation parameters are addressed. 相似文献

The separation power of capillary zone electrophoresis was examined using highly purified and well-characterized biosynthetic human insulin, growth hormone, their derivatives, and related proteins. Mixtures of proteins were chosen to illustrate practical applications of this technique. Proteins differing slightly in structure, but equivalent in net charge, were not completely separated. Degradation of insulin by dilute acid treatment was followed by capillary zone electrophoresis, native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Excellent correlation was observed between these techniques. Simple equipment requirements and analysis times on the order of 10 min make capillary zone electrophoresis attractive for analytical protein separations. 相似文献

In a previous study, protein components purified from latex gloves that elicited allergenic reactions were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and yielded apparent molecular weights of 14, 22, 30, 34, 46, and 58 kD. These allergenic components were isolated for further characterization by capillary zone electrophoresis and N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. These components all migrated at approximately 25 and 35 min on capillary zone electrophoresis. Diode array spectral analysis detected indistinguishable characteristics between these two protein peaks. In addition, complex formation of these components with patients' immunoglobulin was demonstrated by capillary zone electrophoresis. Analysis of components separated by SDS-PAGE on a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane showed that the first 13 residues were identical to the sequence of hevein. Based on the criteria of charge-to-mass ratio and N-terminall amino acid sequence, our results suggest that these components of latex proteins are similar in the primary structure. 相似文献

When a protein such as human serum albumin is added to the separation buffer in capillary electrophoresis, the mobility of solutes which bind to that protein may be altered. The change in mobility of the solute is a function both of the strength of the binding interaction, and the difference in mobility between the free solute and protein additive. By adding other ligands which themselves bind to the protein, the strength of the solute–protein binding may be modified, leading to a measurable change in the mobility of the solute. These effects are particularly striking for chiral compounds, where enantioselectivity may be completely lost on addition of a competitive ligand. Capillary electrophoresis with human serum ablumin as a buffer additive was used to separate the enantiomers of benzoin and three phenothiazine derivatives. A comparison of the binding of (S)-benzoin to human serum albumin as determined by capillary electrophoresis and by ultrafiltration was made. A variety of other ligands were then added to the buffer along with the protein, and the effects on mobility and enantioselectivity were studied. The displacers included (R)- and (S)-oxazepam hemisuccinate, (R)- and (S)-warfarin, nitrazepam, phenylbutazone, and octanoic acid. From the results obtained, it seems that capillary electrophoresis may be a useful, rapid method to screen for drug–drug interactions. There are some advantages of using this technique to study protein–ligand interactions: Only very small amounts of ligand are needed (useful when dealing with metabolites); for chiral compounds, if protein binding is stereoselective, then the method is also stereoselective, so single enantiomers are not needed; finally, measurements are obtained in solution, without the need for immobilization of the protein. A disadvantage is that the ligand and protein must have significantly different electrophoretic mobilities. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The interaction of proteins with polysaccharides represents a major and challenging topic in glycobiology, since such complexes mediate fundamental biological mechanisms. An affinity capillary electrophoresis method has been developed to evidence the complex formation and to determine the binding properties between an anticoagulant polysaccharide of marine origin, fucoidan, and a potential target protein, antithrombin. This method is a variant of zonal electrophoresis in the mobility shift format. A fixed amount of protein was injected into a capillary filled with a background electrolyte containing the polysaccharide in varying concentrations. The effective mobility data of the protein were processed according to classical linearization treatments to obtain the binding constant for the polysaccharide/antithrombin complex. The results indicate that fucoidan binds to antithrombin in a 1:1 stoichiometry and with an affinity depending on the molecular weight of the polysaccharide. For heparin, the binding constant obtained similarly is in accordance with the literature. This is the first report showing the implementation of a capillary electrophoresis method contributing to the mechanistic understanding of the biological activities of fucoidan and providing evidence for the complex formation between fucoidan and the protein inhibitor of the coagulation antithrombin. 相似文献

We fabricated an on-chip capillary electrophoresis device for blood analysis. An on-chip capillary electrophoresis device was photolithographically fabricated on a glass chip. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was employed as a sample enzyme. Small amounts of enzyme in the mixture of other proteins were detected with the electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) method. Fluorescein diphosphate was used as fluorogenic substrate. The detection of ALP activity was achieved with laser-induced fluorescence monitoring fluorescein that was produced in enzyme reaction in capillary. Several methods to reduce the adhesion of protein are also discussed. 相似文献

Outer membrane proteins are indispensable components of bacterial cells and participate in several relevant functions of the microorganisms. Changes in the outer membrane protein composition might alter antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenicity. Furthermore, the effects of various factors on outer membrane protein expression, such as antibiotic treatment, mutation, changes in the environment, lipopolysaccharide modification and biofilm formation, have been analyzed. Traditionally, the outer membrane protein profile determination was performed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Converting this technique to capillary electrophoresis format resulted in faster separation, lower sample consumption and automation. Coupling capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry enabled the fast identification of bacterial proteins, while immediate quantitative analysis permitted the determination of up- and downregulation of certain outer membrane proteins. Adapting capillary electrophoresis to microchip format ensured a further ten- to 100-fold decrease in separation time. Application of different separation techniques combined with various sensitive detector systems has ensured further opportunities in the field of high-throughput bacterial protein analysis. This review provides an overview using selected examples of outer membrane proteins and the development and application of the electrophoretic and microchip technologies for the analysis of these proteins. 相似文献

We have recently described a new capillary electrophoresis assay to measure serum ascorbic and uric acids in which a baseline separation of peaks was obtained in less than 4 min by using a 60.2 cm x 75 microm uncoated capillary with a 100 mmol/L sodium borate running buffer pH 8. Since during sample preparation AA is rapidly oxidized, we employed our new capillary electrophoresis method to analyze the pre-analytical factors affecting its stability. In particular we evaluated how the standard mix preparation, the blood collection (plasma EDTA or serum) and the plasma protein precipitation influence the results of analysis. Our data suggest that standard ascorbate must be dissolved in a solution containing cysteine and EDTA in order to avoid oxidation and that EDTA blood collection is better than serum for AA measurement. Moreover, the type and the quantity of the precipitating compound are critical parameters to obtain a complete recovery of analytes. We performed AA and UA analysis in 32 healthy volunteers with the optimized experimental conditions by using our capillary electrophoresis method and a reference CE assay. Obtained data were compared to Bland-Altman test to verify the accuracy of our CZE method. 相似文献

Protein denaturation and aggregation are well-known problems in the pharmaceutical industry. As the protein aggregates, it loses its biological activity and creates problems in its administration to patients. In this paper, we explore the use of aqueous two-phase systems, capillary zone electrophoresis, and dynamic light scattering for the monitoring of protein denaturation and aggregation. Our studies focus on human IgG and HSA. Capillary zone electrophoresis was used to monitor changes in the charge to size ratio of the proteins upon denaturation and dynamic light scattering was used to detect the presence of any aggregates and to monitor the size of the proteins. The information obtained from aqueous two-phase partitioning is similar to that obtained from capillary zone electrophoresis. The simplicity of aqueous two-phase system and its low cost (compared to the other analytical techniques) suggest that it can be routinely used for the quality control of some pharmaceutical preparations. 相似文献

Recent advances in enantiomer separations by affinity capillary electrophoresis using proteins and peptides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Enantiomer separations by capillary electrophoresis (CE), using proteins as chiral selectors--affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) with free solutions and capillary electrochromatography (CEC)--with protein immobilized capillaries, are reviewed. The separation principle, recent advances in this field and some interesting topics are presented. In ACE, various enantiomer separations have been already reported using either plasma proteins or egg white ones. Miscellaneous proteins were also explored in the last few years. On the contrary, only a limited number of enantiomer separations have been successfully achieved in CEC. CEC is not yet mature enough to date, and further investigations, such as efficiency, durability and reproducibility of capillaries, will be necessary for the use of routine analyses. The study of enantioselective drug-protein binding is important in pharmaceutical developments. Some applications including high-performance CE/frontal analysis (HPCE/FA) are introduced in this paper. 相似文献

We describe a simple, fast, sensitive, and nonisotopic bioanalytical technique for the detection of tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides and the determination of sites of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. The technique employs a protein tyrosine phosphatase micro enzyme reactor coupled on-line to either capillary electrophoresis or liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry instruments. The micro enzyme reactor was constructed by immobilizing genetically engineered, metabolically biotinylated human protein tyrosine phosphatase beta onto the inner surface of a small piece of a 50-microns inner diameter, 360-microns outer diameter fused silica capillary or by immobilization of the phosphatase onto 40-90-microns avidin-activated resins. By coupling these reactors directly to either a capillary electrophoresis column or a liquid chromatography column, we were able to rapidly perform enzymatic dephosphorylation and separation of the reaction products. Detection and identification of the components of the reaction mixture exiting these reactors were done by mass analysis with an on-line electrospray ionization mass spectrometer. Tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides, even if present in a complex peptide mixture, were identified by subtractive analysis of peptide patterns generated with or without phosphatase treatment. Two criteria, namely a phosphatase-induced change in hydropathy and charge, respectively, and a change in molecular mass by 80 Da, were used jointly to identify phosphopeptides. We demonstrate that, with this technique, low picomole amounts of a tyrosine-phosphorylated peptide can be detected in a complex peptide mixture generated by proteolysis of a protein and that even higher sensitivities can be realized if more sensitive detection systems are applied. 相似文献

This paper presents a multidimensional profile of the human serum proteome, produced by a two-dimensional protein fractionation system based on liquid chromatography followed by characterization with capillary electrophoresis (CE). The first-dimension separation was done by chromatofocusing over a pH range from 8.5 to 4.0, where proteins were separated by their isoelectric points (pI). In this dimension, fractions were collected based on pH. The first-dimension pI fractions were then resolved in the second dimension by high-resolution, reversed-phase chromatography with a gradient of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in acetonitrile and TFA in water. A selected protein fraction collected from the second dimension by time was characterized by CE for molecular-weight estimation and for presence of isoforms. Molecular-weight estimation was done by sodium dodecyl sulfate capillary gel electrophoresis, where proteins were separated in the range of 10,000-225,000 Da. Detection of isoforms was done by capillary isoelectric focusing over a pH range of 3-10. A selected second-dimension fraction that contained the putative serum iron-binding protein transferrin was analyzed by these two CE techniques for molecular-weight determination and the presence of isoforms. The combination of two-dimensional protein fractionation and CE characterization represents an advanced tool for proteomics. 相似文献

Methods using automated capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrumentation are available for serum protein electrophoresis with monoclonal band quantitation, isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separations. The advantages of CE over previous gel methods relate to the time and labour saved by the automated instrumentation. High pI monoclonal bands and cryoglobulin specimens can be successfully analysed by CE. However, if the CE application uses a standard company supplied kit, then the cost savings are often negated by the high cost of the kit. Improvements such as the inclusion of both a UV-Vis as well as a fluorescence detector as standard within the one commercial instrument, the production of coated IEF capillaries with a useful life of at least 100 samples, and the introduction of a capillary array into all commercial instrumentation would ensure greater use of CE within both the clinical and other protein laboratories. 相似文献

Characterization of protein behavior in high-performance capillary electrophoresis using a novel capillary system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Original calculations of over a million theoretical plate efficiency for macromolecular solutes in the open tubular high-performance capillary electrophoresis experiment considered axial diffusion to be the efficiency limiting factor. In practice, interactions of biopolymers, such as proteins, with the capillary wall has had a significant impact on readily achieving high efficiencies for a wide variety of proteins. This paper reports a capillary system in which protein-surface interactions have been minimized, resulting in high efficiencies (greater than or equal to 300,000 theoretical plates). This system allows the analysis of a set of protein standards over a wide pI range at neutral pH and moderate ionic strength. The characterization of the behavior of those protein standards in this capillary system is described. 相似文献

Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) is a broad term referring to the separation by capillary electrophoresis of substances that participate in specific or non-specific affinity interactions during electrophoresis. The interacting molecules can be found free in solution or can be immobilized to a solid support. Every ACE mode has advantages and disadvantages. Each can be used for a wide variety of applications. This paper focuses on applications that include purification and concentration of analytes present in diluted solutions or complex matrices, quantitation of analytes based on calibration curves, and estimation of binding constants from direct and derived binding curves based on quantitation of analytes or on analyte migration shifts. A more recent chemicoaffinity strategy in capillary electrophoresis/capillary electrochromatography (CE/CEC) termed molecular imprinting (`plastic antibodies') is discussed as well. Although most ACE studies are aimed at characterizing small-molecular mass analytes such as drugs, hormones, and peptides, some efforts have been pursued to characterize larger biopolymers including proteins, such as immunoglobulins. Examples of affinity interactions that have been studied are antigen–antibody, hapten–antibody, lectin–sugar, drug–protein, and enzyme–substrate complexes using ultraviolet, laser-induced fluorescence, and mass spectrometer detectors. This paper also addresses the critical issue of background electrolyte selection and quantitation of analytes. Specific examples of bioaffinity applications are presented, and the future of ACE in the biomedical field is discussed. 相似文献

Shifts in mobility caused by binding of Ca2+ to calmodulin and parvalbumin were studied using high-performance capillary electrophoresis in a Tris-glycine buffer, rather than conventional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis which requires larger amounts of sample and longer assay time. A Zn(2+)-binding protein, carbonic anhydrase, also showed a partial shift in mobility following Zn(2+)-binding. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors are a series of well characterized proteins that have intriguing pharmacological properties. Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) recently appeared in the literature for its efficacy in spinal cord repair in rats. The protein has proven difficult to analyze by capillary electrophoresis, because it has a tendency to unfold, aggregate and precipitate, especially near and above physiological temperatures. By studying the turbidity of capillary electrophoresis running buffers and aFGF at 50°C, conditions were found that stabilize the aFGF solution, thereby allowing the capillary electrophoretic separation of the protein from its recombinant production impurities. The buffer system employs 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 with 0.25% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) additive. This system provided the best efficiency and selectivity of the systems studied and was developed for pharmaceutical purity analysis. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. 相似文献

We have developed a high-resolution genomic mapping technique that combines transposon-mediated insertional mutagenesis with either capillary electrophoresis or massively parallel sequencing to identify functionally important regions of the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) genome. We initially used a capillary electrophoresis method to gain insight into the role of the VEEV nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3) in viral replication. We identified several regions in nsP3 that are intolerant to small (15 bp) insertions, and thus are presumably functionally important. We also identified nine separate regions in nsP3 that will tolerate small insertions at low temperatures (30°C), but not at higher temperatures (37°C, and 40°C). Because we found this method to be extremely effective at identifying temperature sensitive (ts) mutations, but limited by capillary electrophoresis capacity, we replaced the capillary electrophoresis with massively parallel sequencing and used the improved method to generate a functional map of the entire VEEV genome. We identified several hundred potential ts mutations throughout the genome and we validated several of the mutations in nsP2, nsP3, E3, E2, E1 and capsid using single-cycle growth curve experiments with virus generated through reverse genetics. We further demonstrated that two of the nsP3 ts mutants were attenuated for virulence in mice but could elicit protective immunity against challenge with wild-type VEEV. The recombinant ts mutants will be valuable tools for further studies of VEEV replication and virulence. Moreover, the method that we developed is applicable for generating such tools for any virus with a robust reverse genetics system. 相似文献
