Interaction of Salivary and Midgut Proteins of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Helicoverpa armigera</Emphasis> with Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor

Feeding of Helicoverpa armigera larvae on semi-synthetic diet containing Soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) resulted in disappearance of STI sensitive protease in salivary and midgut protease extract. This might be due to in situ inhibition by dietary STI. STI was largely degraded within 1 h of incubation with total salivary protease (1:1). Degradation was relatively low in midgut proteases. STI interacting proteins were isolated from saliva and midgut extracts of larvae fed on STI supplemented diet using affinity column. Most of the isolated proteins showed caseinolytic activity in zymogram. Denovo sequencing data of seven different peptides selected from trypsin digested total protein showed similarity to chymotrypsinogen, serine protease, aminopeptidase N, peroxidase, hypothetical protein and muscle specific protein.     

High-gradient magnetic affinity separation of trypsin from porcine pancreatin

We introduce a robust and scale-flexible approach to macromolecule purification employing tailor-made magnetic adsorbents and high-gradient magnetic separation technology adapted from the mineral processing industries. Detailed procedures for the synthesis of large quantities of low-cost defined submicron-sized magnetic supports are presented. These support materials exhibit unique features, which facilitate their large-scale processing using high magnetic field gradients, namely sufficiently high magnetization, a relatively narrow particle size distribution and ideal superparamagnetism. Following systematic optimization with respect to activation chemistry, spacer length and ligand density, conditions for preparation of effective high capacity (Q(max) = 120 mg g(-1)) strongly interacting (Kd < 0.3 microm) trypsin-binding adsorbents based on immobilized benzamidine were established. In small-scale studies approximately 95% of the endogenous trypsin present in a crude porcine pancreatin feedstock was recovered with a purification factor of approximately 4.1 at the expense of only a 4% loss in alpha-amylase activity. Efficient recovery of trypsin from the same feedstock was demonstrated at a vastly increased scale using a high-gradient magnetic separation system to capture loaded benzamidine-linked adsorbents following batch adsorption. With the aid of a simple recycle loop over 80% of the initially adsorbed trypsin was recovered in-line with an overall purification factor of approximately 3.5.

A Proteinase from Mung Bean Sprouts That Inactivaties Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor (in English)

By 30%-60% (NH4)2SO4 fractional precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and anion-exchange chromatography on Waters AP-1 column (ProteinPM-Pak DEAE 15HR), a proteinase which can inactivate soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) was purified from mung bean (Vigna rabiata (L.) Wilczek) sprouts. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 29.8 kD by SDS-PAGE, and its Km and Vmax for STI were 769.2N-α-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester BAEE/mL and 115.3 BAEE·mL-1·min-1 respectively. This proteinase was stable at temperatures lower than 50℃ and pH 6.5-8.5, and 90.91% STI activity of defatted soybean powder was inactivated by this preparation, with proteolytic activity 5 000 BAEE/mL at 50℃ and pH 8.0 in 4 h.     

Design and study of peptide-ligand affinity chromatography adsorbents: application to the case of trypsin purification from bovine pancreas

The purification of trypsin from bovine pancreas was employed in a case study concerning the design and optimization of peptide-ligand adsorbents for affinity chromatography. Four purpose-designed tripeptide-ligands were chemically synthesized (>95% pure), exhibiting an Arg residue as their C-terminal (site P(1)) for trypsin bio-recognition, a Pro or Ala in site P(2), and a Thr or Val in site P(3). Each tripeptide-ligand was immobilized via its N-terminal amino group on Ultrogel A6R agarose gel, which was previously activated with low concentrations of cyanuric chloride (10.5 to 42.5 mumol/g gel). Well over 90% of the peptide used was immobilized. Three different concentrations were investigated for every immobilized tripeptide-ligand, 3.5, 7.0, and 14 mumol/g gel. The K(D) values of immobilized tripeptide-trypsin complexes were determined as well as the purifying performance and the trypsin-binding capacity of the affinity adsorbents. The K(D) values determined were in good agreement with the trypsin purification performance of the respective affinity adsorbents. The tripeptide sequence H-TPR-OH displayed the highest affinity for trypsin (K(D) 8.7 muM), whereas the sequence H-TAR-OH displayed the lowest (K(D) 38 muM). Dipeptide-ligands have failed to bind trypsin. When the ligand H-TPR-OH was immobilized via its N-terminal on agarose, at a concentration of 14 mumol/g gel, it produced the most effective affinity chromatography adsorbent. This adsorbent exhibited high trypsin-binding capacity (approximately 310,000 BAEE units/mL of adsorbent); furthermore, it purified trypsin from pancreatic crude extract to a specific activity of 15,200 BAEE units/mg (tenfold purification), and 82% yield.

The continuous isolation of trypsin by affinity adsorbent recycling

A method for the continuous affinity separation of proteins is described in which the adsorbent, in the form of a polymer belt, is recycled through feedstock and eluent liquid flows. As the belt is nonporous, contact between the solute and the ligand is not diffusion-dependent. Consequently, rapid cycle rates are possible. Soybean trypsin inhibitor immobilized on nylon was used as an affinity ligand for the isolation of trypsin. During a 30-h continuous run, trypsin was isolated from a crude preparation of bovine pancreas with a recovery of 30% to 40%. Approximately 18 mg of trypsin was obtained from 500 mg of protein using a total of approximately 10 mug of ligand. Electrophoretic analysis of the eluent showed that chymotrypsin, which also binds to SBTI, was the only major contaminant of the product. It was demonstrated that the highest rates of protein purification were obtained using solid/liquid contact times well below that required to achieve saturation of the affinity adsorbent. Slower adsorbent recycle rates, which achieved higher protein binding per unit area of belt, resulted in lower protein purification per unit time. The rate of purification was also dependent on the concentration of target protein in the adsorption chamber at steady state. As high concentrations increased losses from the chamber outflow, this resulted in a compromise between throughput and recovery during the adsorption phase. Under the conditions investigated, recoveries of over 60% were obtained, and a maximum throughput of approximately 2.5 mg trypsin per hour was achieved. Preliminary studies have shown that this can be improved by compartmentalizing the adsorption chamber, which can reduce losses from the adsorption chamber to less than 5%.

Purification of recombinant protein A by aqueous two-phase extraction integrated with affinity precipitation

Aqueous two-phase extraction incorporated affinity precipitation was examined as a technique for protein purification. An enteric coating polymer, Eudragit S100, was employed as a ligand carrier. Eudragit was specifically partitioned to the top phase in the aqueous two-phase systems. For application of this method to purification of recombinant protein A using human IgG coupled to Eudragit in an aqueous two-phase system, 80% of protein A added was recovered with 81% purity. The purity was enhanced 26-fold by thid method. The IgG-Eudragit could be used repeatedly for the purification process. This seperation method should be applicable to industrial-scale purification as a new purification procedure combining the advantages and compensating for the disadvantages of the aqueous two-phase method and affinity precipitation method.

Purification of trypsin by affinity precipitation and combining with aqueous two-phase extraction

Summary Soybean trypsin inhibitor was bound to a pH-sensitive reversibly soluble-insoluble polymer (AS-L) for affinity precipitation of trypsin. Trypsin was purified from a crude extract 5.4-fold and with 61% yield, however, the reusability of the ligand was poor. This can be overcome by combining aqueous two-phase extraction with affinity precipitation, which improved trypsin yield and purity factor after repeated ligand usage.     

Isolation and separation of α-amylase inhibitors I-1 and I-2 from seeds of ragi (Indian finger millet, Eleusine coracana) by metal chelate affinity precipitation

The concept of immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) was integrated with affinity precipitation for the single step isolation of -amylase inhibitors I-1 and 1-2 from the seeds of ragi (Indian finger millet, Eleusine coracana). -Amylase inhibitor I-1 was purified 13-fold with a yield of 84%, using Cu(II) loaded thermosensitive metal chelate copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and 1-vinyl imidazole (VI). The protein also showed trypsin inhibitory activity. The binding of the protein to the copolymer was strongly pH dependent. -Amylase inhibitor I-2 was recovered in the supernatant as unprecipitated protein with significant purification and constituted 27% of the total inhibitor power. The yield with respect to inhibitor I-2 was around 85%. Sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed significant purification of inhibitor I-1 and indicated evident separation of the two proteins on metal chelate affinity precipitation.     

Metal chelate affinity precipitation: a new approach to protein purification

Metal chelate affinity precipitation of proteins, a method combining metal–protein interaction and affinity precipitation is being discussed as a selective separation process for proteins. The technique utilizes a flexible soluble–insoluble thermo-responsive polymer with a covalently linked ligand loaded with metal ions. The affinity binding of the target protein varies with different metal ions. Copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide with 1-vinylimidazole loaded with Cu(II) ions are designed as a potential carriers for affinity purification and proved to be successful for purification of protein inhibitors from a variety of cereals. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Microscale affinity purification of trypsin reduces background peptides in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of protein digests

The use of trypsin for protein digestion is hampered by its autolysis and low thermostability. Chemical modifications have been employed to stabilize the enzyme. Modified trypsin (e.g. methylated) usually enables performing digestions at elevated temperatures, but it still produces autolytic peptides. In this work, unmodified bovine trypsin was subjected to a microscale affinity chromatography on Arginine Sepharose (ASE) or Benzamidine Sepharose (BSE), which utilized the principle of active-site ligand binding. Trypsin was retained on the sorbents in ammonium bicarbonate as a binding buffer. After washings to remove unbound impurities, the enzyme was eluted by arginine as a free ligand (from ASE) or by diluted hydrochloric acid (from BSE). MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry confirmed removal of large molecular fragments as well as autolytic and other background peptides. Consequently, the purified trypsin was tested for its performance in procedures of in-gel digestion of protein standards and selected urinary proteins from real samples. It has been shown that the affinity purification of trypsin decreases significantly the number of unmatched peptides in peptide mass fingerprints. The presence of arginine in the digestion buffer was found to reduce intensity of autolytic peptides. As a result, the described purification procedure is applicable in a common proteomic routine.     

Macrokinetics of enzyme sorption on porous beads accompanied by complex formation with an immobilized ligand

A mathematical model has been proposed for enzyme sorption on porous beads accompanied by formation of a stable complex with an immobilized ligand. It has been experimentally verified by using the system trypsin (EC 3.2.21.4) - immobilized bovine basic polyvalent trypsin inhibitor on porous silica gel. The experimental results for kinetics of the non-specific/specific trypsin sorption on a carrier agree with the model. The value of the coefficient of trypsin diffusion in macroporous silica gel was calculated.     

Purification of recombinant human B-domain-deleted factor VIII using anti-factor VIII monoclonal antibody selected by the surface plasmon resonance biosensor.

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor measures the real-time kinetics of noncovalent interaction between a receptor and its ligand. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) were screened from 127 mAb candidates using the SPR biosensor for the purpose of affinity purification of rFVIII. Each mAb showed a different association and dissociation capacity for rFVIII at each buffer condition. One mAb, F8-38, was selected for immunopurification of rFVIII. To characterize the selected mAb F8-38, the immunopurification results on the anti-FVIII mAb F8-38 affinity gel and the anti-von Willebrand factor (vWF) mAb affinity gel were studied. Immunopurification by the anti-vWF affinity gel showed a lower binding capacity of rFVIII and resulted in low purification efficiency. On the other hand, immunopurification by the anti-FVIII affinity gel exhibited a 3.5-fold binding capacity and a 2-fold purification efficiency compared to those of the anti-vWF affinity gel. The amounts of proteins and DNAs derived from host cells and mouse IgGs derived from the affinity matrix in the affinity eluate were similar to those of the anti-vWF affinity gel. In conclusion, the SPR method of immunopurification is a useful technology in the screening of mAbs aimed at the development of an affinity purification procedure, and the mAb F8-38 was selected using this technology on the basis of the purification procedure of rFVIII.     

Comparison of soluble and immobilized trypsin kinetics: Implications for peptide synthesis

The protease trypsin was immobilized to porous glass in both the presence and absence of acetylated soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) to determine whether immobilization could alter enzyme activity in favor of aminolysis over hydrolysis. Actiive-site titration with 4-methylumbelliferylguanidinobenzoate (MUGB) showed that only about 10% of immobilized trypsin had catalytic activity. Immobilization in the presence of STI produced a higher yield of active enzyme accessible to the inhibitor but did not increase the total yield of MUGB-active immobilized enzyme. Thus, enzyme inactivation upon immobilization could not be attributed to an inaccessible enzyme orientation, nor did STI prevent inactivation by stabilizing the active-site conformation. Kinetic parameters were determined for soluble and immobilized trypsin for two esters, N-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (TAME) and N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE), and two amides, N-benzoyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) and N-t-boc-leucylglycylarginine p-nitroanilide (LGRNA). In all cases, immobilization caused a greater decrease in k(cat) for amidase activity than for esterase activity. The ratio [k(cat)/ K(m) (ester)]/[k(cat)/K(m) (amide)] increased slightly or stayed the same (for I.GRNA) or decreased sharply (for BAPNA). Including STI during immobilization had little effect on the active enzyme's intrinsic kinetics. A direct comparison of energy diagrams and free energies of activation for BAEE and BAPNA indicates that immobilization raises the free energy barriers for both amide and ester hydrolysis and lowers the energy barrier for aminolysis. In practice, these effects should lower the amidase activity and increase the aminolysis-hydrolysis ratio, rendering the immobilized enzyme a more efficient catalyst for peptide synthesis.

Dye-promoted precipitation of serum proteins. Mechanism and application.

Immobilized dyes have been used primarily for purification of nucleotide dependent enzymes and proteins from plasma and other sources. Due to their low costs, high protein binding capacity and resistance to degradation dyes bear the potential as ligand for affinity separation of proteins on a large scale. In this paper dyes have been used for precipitation of proteins. Using albumin, prealbumin, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and immunoglobulin G as model proteins we could demonstrate that dye-promoted precipitation depends on several factors which include the structure of the dye, the pH of the solution, the dye/protein molar ratio and the intrinsic properties of the proteins. It revealed that most of the dyes tested were endowed with the precipitating potential. The efficacy of precipitation was found to increase with the complexity of the dye structure. However, the amount of a dye required for total precipitation was found to be different for a given protein. Electrostatic as well as hydrophobic forces are involved in the mechanism of precipitation. It was demonstrated that by optimizing the conditions, mixtures of proteins can be resolved by dye-promoted precipitation. The high sensitivity of the reaction offers the possibility of using this method for rapid concentration of very diluted protein solutions.     

Preparation of a new thermo-responsive adsorbent with maltose as a ligand and its application to affinity precipitation

A thermo-responsive polymer on which maltose was covalently immobilized as an affinity ligand was newly synthesized for purification of thermolabile proteins from the crude solution by affinity precipitation. Among the thermo-responsive polymers synthesized as carriers for adsorbent, poly(N-acryloylpiperidine)-cysteamine (pAP) has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of around 4 degrees C, at which its solubility exhibits a sharp change. Adsorbent for affinity precipitation was prepared by combining pAP with maltose using trimethylamine-borane as a reducing reagent. This adsorbent (pAPM) obtained showed a good solubility response: pAPM in the basal buffer (pH 7.0) became soluble below 4 degrees C and was completely insoluble above 8 degrees C. The affinity precipitation method using pAPM consisted of the following four steps: adsorption at 4 degrees C, precipitation of the complex at 10 degrees C, desorption by adding the desorption reagent at 4 degrees C, and recovery of a target protein at 10 degrees C. In the affinity precipitation of Con A from the crude extract of jack bean meal, 82% of Con A added was recovered with 80% purity by addition of 0.2 M methyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside as a desorption reagent. In the repeated purification of Con A from the crude extract, pAPM could be satisfactorily reused without decrease in the affinity performance. Moreover, when pAPM was used for the purification of thermolabile alpha-glucosidase from the cell-free extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 68% of total activity added was recovered and the specific activity per amount of protein of the purified solution was enhanced 206-fold higher than that of the cell-free extract without thermal deactivation of the enzyme.     

Synthesis and characterization of a water-soluble affinity polymer for trypsin purification

A specific ligand bound polymer has been synthesized for the purpose of purification and stabilization of trypsin, an easily autodigestible enzyme. The affinity polymer was formed by copolymerizing N-acryloyl-m-aminobenzamidine, a strong trypsin inhibitor, and acrylamide in the absence of oxygen. Kinetic studies on the trypsin inhibition revealed that there was a strong binding between this enzyme and the polymer and the mechanism was of a competitive manner with an inhibition constant of 0.6 x 10(-3)M. Such an affinity polymer was also very effective in preventing trypsin from auto-digestion at 4 degrees C.Based on this finding and the principle of cross flow filtration, a new process has been developed for purification of trypsin from a solution containing chymotrypsin. The experimental data indicated that trypsin was bound to the polymer (MW > 10(5)) and remained in the retentate while unbound chymotrypsin was collected in the filtrate. This purification process has a capability of recovering 98% pure trypsin at 90% yield.
