Affinity purification of antibodies by using Ni2+-resins on which inclusion body-forming proteins are immobilized

Bacterially expressed recombinant proteins are widely used for producing specific antibodies. Unfortunately, many recombinant proteins are recovered as insoluble materials, so-called inclusion bodies. Inclusion bodies are rather advantageous from a point of view of immunogens because fairly pure proteins can be feasibly extracted from the inclusion bodies. However, we encounter a problem with an insoluble protein when we make an antigen-immobilized column for affinity purification of antibodies because we need a soluble protein in usual immobilization methods. Histidine-tagged proteins can be bound to Ni(2+)-resins in buffer containing 6M guanidine-HCl, in which most insoluble proteins are solubilized. Taking advantage of this feature, we have successfully purified antigen-specific antibodies by directly using Ni(2+)-resins onto which denatured proteins are bound.

A new Escherichia coli strain producing human tumor necrosis factor

An Escherichia coli strain producing human tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) was obtained using a semisynthetic gene partially optimized in respect of codon composition and a phage T7 promoter. The expression product was accumulated in cells as inclusion bodies in a yield of 50-70 mg/l of culture medium. The recombinant TNF-alpha in the form of inclusion bodies was used for immunization of rats to give a polyclonal antiserum. The resulting antibodies were specific under the immunoblotting conditions to the antigen used for the immunization. A dilution-based refolding procedure was developed; it provided a yield of soluble protein exceeding 85%.     

Kinetics of inclusion body formation and its correlation with the characteristics of protein aggregates in Escherichia coli

The objective of the research was to understand the structural determinants governing protein aggregation into inclusion bodies during expression of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. Recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) and asparaginase were expressed as inclusion bodies in E.coli and the kinetics of aggregate formation was analyzed in details. Asparaginase inclusion bodies were of smaller size (200 nm) and the size of the aggregates did not increase with induction time. In contrast, the seeding and growth behavior of hGH inclusion bodies were found to be sequential, kinetically stable and the aggregate size increased from 200 to 800 nm with induction time. Human growth hormone inclusion bodies showed higher resistance to denaturants and proteinase K degradation in comparison to those of asparaginase inclusion bodies. Asparaginase inclusion bodies were completely solubilized at 2-3 M urea concentration and could be refolded into active protein, whereas 7 M urea was required for complete solubilization of hGH inclusion bodies. Both hGH and asparaginase inclusion bodies showed binding with amyloid specific dyes. In spite of its low β-sheet content, binding with dyes was more prominent in case of hGH inclusion bodies than that of asparaginase. Arrangements of protein molecules present in the surface as well as in the core of inclusion bodies were similar. Hydrophobic interactions between partially folded amphiphillic and hydrophobic alpha-helices were found to be one of the main determinants of hGH inclusion body formation. Aggregation behavior of the protein molecules decides the nature and properties of inclusion bodies.

Overproduction of single-chain antibodies against human IFN-alpha2B in Escherichia coli and their isolation in biologically active form

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.

A chloroplast transgenic approach to hyper-express and purify Human Serum Albumin, a protein highly susceptible to proteolytic degradation

Human Serum Albumin (HSA) accounts for 60% of the total protein in blood serum and it is the most widely used intravenous protein in a number of human therapies. HSA, however, is currently extracted only from blood because of a lack of commercially feasible recombinant expression systems. HSA is highly susceptible to proteolytic degradation in recombinant systems and is expensive to purify. Expression of HSA in transgenic chloroplasts using Shine-Dalgarno sequence (SD), which usually facilitates hyper-expression of transgenes, resulted only in 0.02% HSA in total protein (tp). Modification of HSA regulatory sequences using chloroplast untranslated regions (UTRs) resulted in hyper-expression of HSA (up to 11.1% tp), compensating for excessive proteolytic degradation. This is the highest expression of a pharmaceutical protein in transgenic plants and 500-fold greater than previous reports on HSA expression in transgenic leaves. Electron micrographs of immunogold labelled transgenic chloroplasts revealed HSA inclusion bodies, which provided a simple method for purification from other cellular proteins. HSA inclusion bodies could be readily solubilized to obtain a monomeric form using appropriate reagents. The regulatory elements used in this study should serve as a model system for enhancing expression of foreign proteins that are highly susceptible to proteolytic degradation and provide advantages in purification, when inclusion bodies are formed.     

A crosslinked inclusion body process for sialic acid synthesis

The propensity of a recombinant protein produced in bacteria to aggregate has been assumed to be unpredictable, and inclusion bodies have been thought of as wasted cell material. However, a target protein can be purposely driven to inclusion bodies, which demonstrate full cell tolerable activity. Sialic acid aldolase, N-terminally fused with the cellulose-binding module of Clostridium cellulovorans, was almost quantitatively physiologically aggregated into active inclusion bodies. These inclusion bodies were entrapped in alginate beads and crosslinked by glutaraldehyde. The immobilized biocatalyst generated by this crosslinked inclusion bodies (CLIB) technology was used in a repetitive batch protocol for sialic acid production that was monitored on-line by flow calorimetry. The required substrate, N-acetyl-D-mannosamine, was obtained by partially improved alkaline epimerization.     

Antihypertensive activity of recombinant peptide IYPR expressed in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies

To produce more angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory peptides (ACEIP), we have established a high-efficiency Escherichia coli expression system. The DNA-coding sequence for the recombinant protein, which was subcloned into the vector pET-30a(+), has been expressed as inclusion bodies in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The influences of induction time and concentration of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) on the expression of recombinant protein were studied. The resulting expression level of the protein accounted for about 31% of cellular protein at a temperature of 37°C, IPTG concentration of 0.6mM and induction time of 7h. The inclusion bodies were washed, separated from the cells, and solubilized with urea. After purification by affinity chromatography, the recombinant protein was recovered with a high purity of about 90%. Molecular weight of the recombinant protein was measured using Tricine-SDS-PAGE. Peptide IYPR was obtained by cleavage of the recombinant protein with trypsin and the IC(50) value was 61 mg/L. The antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) was also investigated. Single oral administration of this peptide in 10-week old SHRs resulted in a significant reduction of systolic blood pressure to 50 mm Hg at 4 h. The data obtained provide a good reference for further development of peptide Ile-Tyr-Pro-Arg into an effective antihypertensive agent for prevention and treatment of hypertension.

Novel method for expression and purification of human pigment epithelium-derived factor with biological activities in Escherichia coli

We developed a novel method for the expression and purification of recombinant human PEDF in Escherchia coli, and proved it to be simple, convenient, and cheap to obtain this protein with biological activity intact. Human PEDF gene, amplified by PCR from human retinal cNDA library, was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-22b(+). The recombinant pET-22b(+)/PEDF was expressed in E. coli strain BL21(DE3). The recombinant protein showed a molecular weight of about 50 kDa and was mainly in the form of inclusion bodies according to SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis. The insoluble rPEDF was solublized from inclusion bodies by denaturation using 6 M urea, purified by His-tag affinity chromatography, and renatured to natural structure by dialysis in the presence of DTT. The rPEDF could cell-type-specifically inhibit HRCEC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and induce HRCEC apoptosis.

Effective expression of fragments of a botulinum neurotoxin type A gene, coding for the L-chain and H-chain in E. coli, with formation of products causing protective immunity to administration of the toxin

Native Clostridium botulinum gene coding for type A neurotoxin has been used to construct recombinant derivatives coding separately for L and H polypeptide chains of the toxin. The gene derivatives have been cloned into an expression vector pET28b in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells. The recombinant L and H proteins seem to be the major individual proteins after IPTG induction of the recombinant cells. Each of the proteins has been accumulated only in inclusion bodies. The recombinant L chain (but not H chain) has been successfully resolubilized. Each of the proteins contains six His residues on the N terminus which allows purification on Ni-agarose columns with high yield. No toxic effect has been observed for both L and H chains after injection of 10 micrograms of recombinant preparations purified from inclusion bodies. Moreover, the injection resulted in an increase in the titer of specific antibodies which protected mice from 1 DLM of type A native botulinum neurotoxin. Hence, the recombinant neurotoxin protein derivatives which are present in E. coli inclusion bodies can be a source of material for producing diagnostic and therapeutic sera against type A botulinum neurotoxin.
