Zymomonas mobilis levansucrase was overproduced by the fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli harboring a novel expression system that is constitutively expressed by the promoter from the Rahnella aquatilis levansucrase gene. Most of the levansucrase was produced as inclusion bodies in the bacterial cytoplasm, accounting for approximately 20% of the total cellular protein. Refolding after complete denaturation by high concentrations of urea or guanidine hydrochloride was not successful, resulting in large amounts of insoluble aggregates. During the development of the refolding method, it was found that direct solubilization of the inclusion bodies with Triton X-100 reactivated the enzyme, with a considerable refolding efficiency. About 65% of inclusion body levansucrase was refolded into active levansucrase in the renaturation buffer containing 4% (v/v) Triton X-100. The in vitro refolded enzyme was purified to 95% purity by single-step DEAE–Sepharose ion exchange chromatography. Triton X-100 was removed by this ion exchange chromatography. 相似文献

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is an important heme-containing glyco-enzyme that has been used in many biotechnological fields. Valuable proteins like HRP can be obtained in sufficient amounts using Escherichia coli as an expression system. However, frequently, the expression of recombinant enzyme results in inclusion bodies, and the refolding yield is generally low for proteins such as plant peroxidases. In this study, a recombinant HRP was cloned and expressed in the form of inclusion bodies. Initially, the influence of few additives on HRP refolding was assessed by the one factor at a time method. Subsequently, factors with significant effects including glycerol, GSSG/DTT, and the enzyme concentration were selected for further optimization by means of the central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM). Under the obtained optimal condition, refolding increased about twofold. The refolding process was then monitored by the intrinsic fluorescence intensity under optimal conditions (0.35 mM GSSG, 0.044 mM DTT, 7 % glycerol, 1.7 M urea, and 2 mM CaCl2 in 20 mM Tris, pH 8.5) and the reconstitution of heme to the refolded peroxidase was detected by the Soret absorbance. Additionally, samples under unfolding and refolding conditions were analyzed by Zetasizer to determine size distribution in different media. 相似文献

Production of correctly folded and biologically active proteins in Escherichia coli can be a challenging process. Frequently, proteins are recovered as insoluble inclusion bodies and need to be denatured and refolded into the correct structure. To address this, a refolding screening process based on a 96-well assay format supported by design of experiments (DOE) was developed for identification of optimal refolding conditions. After a first generic screen of 96 different refolding conditions the parameters that produced the best yield were further explored in a focused DOE-based screen. The refolding efficiency and the quality of the refolded protein were analyzed by RP-HPLC and SDS–PAGE. The results were analyzed by the DOE software to identify the optimal concentrations of the critical additives. The optimal refolding conditions suggested by DOE were verified in medium-scale refolding tests, which confirmed the reliability of the predictions. Finally, the refolded protein was purified and its biological activity was tested in vitro. The screen was applied for the refolding of Interleukin 17F (IL-17F), stromal-cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1α/CXCL12), B cell-attracting chemokine 1 (BCA-1/CXCL13), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and the complement factor C5a. This procedure identified refolding conditions for all the tested proteins. For the proteins where refolding conditions were already available, the optimized conditions identified in the screening process increased the yields between 50% and 100%. Thus, the method described herein is a useful tool to determine the feasibility of refolding and to identify high-yield scalable refolding conditions optimized for each individual protein. 相似文献

Recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) was expressed in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies. Using fed-batch fermentation process, around 670 mg/L of r-hGH was produced at a cell OD600 of 35. Cell lysis followed by detergent washing resulted in semi-purified inclusion bodies with more than 80% purity. Purified inclusion bodies were homogenous in preparation having an average size of 0.6 μm. Inclusion bodies were solubilized at pH 12 in presence of 2 M urea and refolded by pulsatile dilution. Refolded protein was purified with DEAE-anion exchange chromatography using both radial and axial flow column (50 ml bed volume each). Higher buffer flow rate (30 ml/min) in radial flow column helped in reducing the batch processing time for purification of refolded r-hGH. Radial column based purification resulted in high throughput recovery of diluted refolded r-hGH in comparison to axial column. More than 40% of inclusion body protein could be refolded into bioactive form using the above method in a single batch. Purified r-hGH was analyzed by mass spectroscopy and found to be bioactive by Nb2 cell line proliferation assay. Inclusion body enrichment, mild solubilization, pulsatile refolding and radial flow chromatography worked co-operatively to improve the overall recovery of bioactive protein from inclusion bodies. 相似文献

Proteins that are modified by chemical conjugation require at least two separate purification processes. First the bulk protein is purified, and then after chemical conjugation, a second purification process is required to obtain the modified protein. In an effort to develop new enabling technologies to integrate bioprocessing and protein modification, we describe the use of disulfide‐bridging conjugation to conduct PEGylation during protein refolding. Preliminary experiments using a PEG‐mono‐sulfone reagent with partially unfolded leptin and unfolded RNAse T1 indicated that the cysteine thiols underwent disulfide‐bridging conjugation to give the PEGylated proteins. Interferon‐β1b (IFN‐β1b) was then expressed in E.coli as inclusion bodies and found to undergo disulfide bridging‐conjugation during refolding. The PEG‐IFN‐β1b was isolated by ion‐exchange chromatography and displayed in vitro biological activity. In the absence of the PEGylation reagent, IFN‐β1b refolding was less efficient and yielded protein aggregates. No PEGylation was observed if the cysteines on IFN‐β1b were first modified with iodoacetamide prior to refolding. Our results demonstrate that the simultaneous refolding and disulfide bridging PEGylation of proteins could be a useful strategy in the development of affordable modified protein therapeutics. 相似文献

Protein kinases are key drug targets involved in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes. To aid the development of drugs targeting these kinases, it is necessary to express recombinant protein in large amounts. The expression of these kinases in Escherichia coli often leads to the accumulation of the expressed protein as insoluble inclusion bodies. The refolding of these inclusion bodies could provide a route to soluble protein, but there is little reported success in this area. We set out to develop a system for the screening of refolding conditions for a model protein kinase, p38α, and applied this system to denatured p38α derived from natively folded and inclusion body protein. Clear differences were observed in the refolding yields obtained, suggesting differences in the folded state of these preparations. Using the screening system, we have established conditions under which soluble, folded p38α can be produced from inclusion bodies. We have shown that the refolding yields obtained in this screen are suitable for the economic large-scale production of refolded p38α protein kinase. 相似文献

Attempts to obtain active E-selectin from Escherichia coli (E. coli) have not yet been successful. In this study, we succeeded in expressing the recombinant lectin and epidermal growth factor domain fragments of human E-selectin (rh-ESLE) in E. coli on a large-scale. The rh-ESLE protein was expressed as an inactive form in the inclusion bodies. The inactive form of rh-ESLE was denatured and solubilized by 6 M guanidine hydrochloride and then purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography under denaturing conditions. Denatured rh-ESLE was then refolded by a rapid-dilution method using a large amount of refolding buffer, which contained arginine and cysteine/cystine. The refolded rh-ESLE showed binding affinity for sLeX (K d = 321 nM, Bmax = 1.9 pmol/μg protein). This result suggests that the refolded rh-ESLE recovered its native and functional structure. 相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent approximately 3% of the human proteome. They are involved in a large number of diverse processes and, therefore, are the most prominent class of pharmacological targets. Besides rhodopsin, X-ray structures of classical GPCRs have only recently been resolved, including the β1 and β2 adrenergic receptors and the A2A adenosine receptor. This lag in obtaining GPCR structures is due to several tedious steps that are required before beginning the first crystallization experiments: protein expression, detergent solubilization, purification, and stabilization. With the aim to obtain active membrane receptors for functional and crystallization studies, we recently reported a screen of expression conditions for approximately 100 GPCRs in Escherichia coli, providing large amounts of inclusion bodies, a prerequisite for the subsequent refolding step. Here, we report a novel artificial chaperone-assisted refolding procedure adapted for the GPCR inclusion body refolding, followed by protein purification and characterization. The refolding of two selected targets, the mouse cannabinoid receptor 1 (muCB1R) and the human parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (huPTH1R), was achieved from solubilized receptors using detergent and cyclodextrin as protein folding assistants. We could demonstrate excellent affinity of both refolded and purified receptors for their respective ligands. In conclusion, this study suggests that the procedure described here can be widely used to refold GPCRs expressed as inclusion bodies in E. coli. 相似文献

Shrimp lysozyme is as an antibacterial enzyme that participates in the innate defense against the invasion of bacterial pathogens. In this study, the lysozyme gene from hemocytes of the shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus was isolated and characterized. The M. japonicus lysozyme (MjLys) encodes a polypeptide of 158 amino acids (aa) that includes an 18 aa signal peptide. The gene fragment encoding the mature MjLys protein was subcloned into the expression vector pET-32a(+) and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS, and the protein was strongly expressed in insoluble inclusion bodies. Following extraction using urea, the denatured recombinant protein was refolded by on-column Ni2+ affinity chromatography or dialysis with a gradient of decreasing urea concentration. Approximately 50% of the recombinant MjLys was successfully refolded into monomeric protein using urea gradient dialysis, while 30% was salvaged using on-column refolding. Purified MjLys exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Staphylococcus aureus. This efficient over-expression and refolding method can provide the large quantities of biologically active protein required for further biochemical and structural studies and potential biotechnological applications. 相似文献

Background:
Recombinant proteins overexpressed in E. coli are usually deposited in inclusion bodies. Cysteines in the protein contribute to this process. Inter- and intra- molecular disulfide bonds in chitinase, a cysteine-rich protein, cause aggregation when the recombinant protein is overexpressed in E. coli. Hence, aggregated proteins should be solubilized and allowed to refold to obtain native- or correctly- folded recombinant proteins.Methods:
Dilution method that allows refolding of recombinant proteins, especially at high protein concentrations, is to slowly add the soluble protein to refolding buffer. For this purpose: first, the inclusion bodies containing insoluble proteins were purified; second, the aggregated proteins were solubilized; finally, the soluble proteins were refolded using glutathione redox system, guanidinium chloride, dithiothreitol, sucrose, and glycerol, simultaneously.Results:
After protein solubilization and refolding, SDS-PAGE showed a 32 kDa band that was recognized by an anti-chitin antibody on western blots.Conclusions:
By this method, cysteine-rich proteins from E. coli inclusion bodies can be solubilized and correctly folded into active proteins.Key Words: Chitinase, Cysteine-rich proteins, Protein refolding, Protein solubilization 相似文献11.
Recombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator derivative (r-PA), fused with thioredoxin (Trx), was expressed in Escherichia coli. The resultant fusion protein, Trx-r-PA, was almost completely in the form of inclusion bodies and without activity. Different
refolding strategies were investigated including different post-treatment of solubilized Trx-r-PA inclusion bodies, on-column
refolding by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) using three gel types (Sephacryl S-200, S-300 and S-400), refolding by Sephacryl
S-200 with a urea gradient and two-stage temperature control in refolding. An optimized on-column refolding process for Trx-r-PA
inclusion bodies was established. The collected Trx-r-PA inclusion bodies were dissolved in 6 m guanidine hydrochloride (Gdm·HCl), and the denatured protein was separated from dithiothreitol (DTT) and Gdm·HCl with a G25
column and simultaneously dissolved in 8 m urea containing oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Finally a refolding of Trx-r-PA protein on Sephacryl S-200 column with a decreasing
urea gradient combined with two-stage temperature control was employed, and the activity recovery of refolded protein was
increased from 3.6 to 13.8% in comparison with the usual dilution refolding.

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a family of proteins that promote angiogenesis and participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. In this work, the gene encoding the human VEGF isoform 165 (hVEGF165) was cloned into the expression vector pET32a (+) to construct a fusion expression plasmid that induced the thioredoxin (Trx) gene and transformed into Escherichia coli. The recombinant fusion protein TrxhVEGF165 was expressed optimally as inclusion bodies in the case of being cultivated for 4 h at 30°C and 1 mM IPTG concentration. The Trx-hVEGF165 was refolded and purified effectively from urea-solubilized inclusion bodies by the immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Released from the fusion protein by enterokinase cleavage and purified to homogeneity, the recombinant hVEGF165 (rhVEGF165) was biologically active as assessed by the human umbilicalvein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation and the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. The expression and in vitro refolding of rhVEGF165 resulted in production of an active molecule in a yield of 4.04 mg/L flask cultivation. 相似文献

Calf prochymosin produced in Escherichia coli cells harboring the expression plasmids was insoluble and formed large inclusion bodies, which were solubilized by 8 M urea. The conditions allowing correct refolding of denatured prochymosin were investigated. Dialysis at pH 10 in the presence of 500 mM NaCl was found to give the maximum renaturation, and subsequent acidic treatment for autocatalytic processing of refolded prochymosin allowed almost 100% recovery of chymosin. 相似文献

Cyclin D3 is a regulatory protein associated in a variety of human tumors. Despite several studies involving Cyclin D1 and D2, there are few articles that investigate the role of Cyclin D3. Therefore, this study aimed to produce and characterize Cyclin D3 using the Escherichia coli expression system and a protein refolding protocol. The anionic detergent SDS was used to solubilize the protein, then the solution were kept at 4 °C to precipitate SDS. After removing the precipitate by centrifugation, the supernatant was applied to the Ni-NTA column to purify His- tagged Cyclin D3. The recombinant protein shown to be refolded in a denaturation study by fluorescence spectroscopy at increasing concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride. The protein secondary structure, evaluated by circular dichroism, is composed of 39 % α helix and 15 % β-strands. In addition, the study aimed to validate the refolding protocol used to obtain Cyclin D3 from E. coli inclusion bodies. 相似文献

Laccases (benzenediol oxygen oxidoreductases, EC 1.10.3.2) are important multicopper enzymes that are used in many biotechnological processes. A recombinant form of laccase from Bacillus sp. HR03 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL-21(DE3). Inclusion body (IB) formation happens quite often during recombinant protein production. Hence, developing a protocol for efficient refolding of proteins from inclusion bodies to provide large amounts of active protein could be advantageous for structural and functional studies. Here, we have tried to find an efficient method of refolding for this bacterial enzyme. Solubilization of inclusion bodies was carried out in phosphate buffer pH 7, containing 8 M urea and 4 mM β-mercaptoethanol and refolding was performed using the dilution method. The effect of different additives was investigated on the refolding procedure of denaturated laccase. Mix buffer (phosphate buffer and citrate buffer, 100 mM) containing 4 mM ZnSO4 and 100 mM sorbitol was selected as an optimized refolding buffer. Also Kinetic parameters of soluble and refolded laccase were analyzed. 相似文献

Inclusion bodies of recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) were isolated from Escherichia coli, enriched and solubilized in 100 mM Tris buffer containing 6 M n-propanol and 2 M urea. Around 4 mg/ml of r-hGH from inclusion bodies were solubilized in 6 M n-propanol-based buffer containing 2 M urea. Existence of native-like secondary structure of r-hGH in 6 M n-propanol solution was confirmed by CD and fluorescence spectra. Solubilized r-hGH was subsequently refolded by pulsatile dilution, purified to homogeneity and found to be functionally active. Tris buffer containing 6 M n-propanol and 2 M urea also effectively solubilized a number of proteins expressed as inclusion bodies in E. coli. Mild solubilization of inclusion body proteins, chaotropic effect of n-propanol at high concentration and kosmotropic effect at lower concentration helped in improved refolding of the solubilized protein. Around 40% of the r-hGH in the form of inclusion body aggregates was refolded into bioactive form while using n-propanol as solubilization agent. Solubilization with 6 M n-propanol solution thus can be a viable alternative for achieving high throughput recovery of bioactive protein from inclusion bodies of E. coli. 相似文献

Many recombinant eukaryotic proteins tend to form insoluble aggregates called inclusion bodies, especially when expressed in Escherichia coli. We report the first application of the technique of three-phase partitioning (TPP) to obtain correctly refolded active proteins from solubilized inclusion bodies. TPP was used for refolding 12 different proteins overexpressed in E. coli. In each case, the protein refolded by TPP gave either higher refolding yield than the earlier reported method or succeeded where earlier efforts have failed. TPP-refolded proteins were characterized and compared to conventionally purified proteins in terms of their spectral characteristics and/or biological activity. The methodology is scaleable and parallelizable and does not require subsequent concentration steps. This approach may serve as a useful complement to existing refolding strategies of diverse proteins from inclusion bodies. 相似文献

Full-length recombinant transposase Tc1A from Caenorhabditis elegans (343 amino acids) expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 in inclusion bodies has been purified in a high yield in a soluble form. The procedure includes denaturation of the inclusion bodies followed by refolding of the Tc1A protein by gel filtration. This last step is absolutely crucial to give a high yield of soluble and active protein since it allows the physical separation of the aggregates from intermediates that give rise to correctly refolded protein. This step is very sensitive to the concentration of protein. Good yields of refolded protein are obtained by refolding 2 to 12 mg of denatured protein. The other purification steps involve the initial use of gel filtration under denaturing conditions and a final step of ion-exchange chromatography. Biological activity of the purified protein was confirmed in an in vitro transposon excision assay and its DNA-binding capacity by UV crosslinking. This new Tc1A purification procedure gives a yield of 12–16 mg/liter E. coli culture, in a form suitable for crystallization studies. 相似文献

Almost complete assignment of backbone 1H, 13C, 15N and side chain 13Cβ resonances for the immune-regulatory cytokine IL-10 is reported. The protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and was refolded from inclusion bodies. The point mutation C149Y was introduced to suppress incorrect disulfide bond formation and to improve protein refolding. 相似文献
