电泳亲和色谱技术分离蛋白质*

亲和色谱利用亲和配体与目标组分间的特异性结合作用实现对目标组分的纯化,该分离方法分辨率高．在生物物质的分析和分离领域得到日益广泛的应用[1]。亲和色谱在分离过程每一步操作中,液相主体中的溶质分子必须经过一系列扩散过程才能进入到固定相颗粒孔内完成吸附或解吸等质量置换反应,被置换出的物质再由颗粒内扩散出固定相颗粒进入流动相。与质量置换反应过程相比,扩散过程由于速度较慢而常成为亲和色谱分离过程的速度控制步[2]。开发新型介质以强化扩散过程成为近年来色谱分离技术研究的热点,典型成果有灌注色谱介质(Perfllsion clnromatogr;tph>r)13,引。基于制备电泳技术方面的研究成果[5.6],我们提出将多通道流动电泳与亲和色谱相结合形成一种新型制备规模的生物分离技术即电泳亲和色谱技术,其基本思想是利用电场强化扩散过程以加速分离过程的进行。我们的前期工作已证明该方法的可行性[7]。本文以人血清清蛋白(Human seguigt albllmm．以下简称has)和Blue Sepharose 6 Fkt F10wⅢ介质(以下简称Blue介质)为例,通过实验系统地考察电流强度对电泳亲和吸附和电泳洗脱过程的影响,并用电泳亲和色谱的方法纯化has。

Electrophoretic affinity chromatography: method validation

A new method for preparative-scale separation of biomolecules, electrophoretic affinity chromatography (EAC), is proposed in this paper. Separation by EAC is carried out in a long and ribbon-like multicompartment electrolyser separated by membranes, in which the two central compartments are used for packing the gel matrix and for sample loading respectively. Next to the central compartments are the elution compartments and electrode compartments. The electric field is applied perpendicular to the fluid flow in the compartments. Adsorption and desorption steps may both be carried out in the presence of an electric field, which transports the target components into the gel compartment for adsorption and the impurities into the elution compartments for washing. After the adsorption step an elution solution is introduced and the product is released from the gel matrix and washed out. Separation of human serum albumin (HSA) from human serum gives HSA product of high purity, as demonstrated by isoelectric focusing analysis. The characteristics of electrophoretic binding of HSA on Blue Sepharose Fast Flow are examined. The preliminary results show that this new method has advantages in terms of high rate of mass transfer and ease of scaling up, which are of particular interest when large-scale separation of biomolecules is considered.     

Purification of human alpha-2-macroglobulin by chromatography on Cibacron Blue Sepharose.

A simple and efficient procedure has been devised for the isolation of α-2-macroglobulin from human plasma (type 1-1 haptoglobulin). The primary step is gel filtration and affinity chromatography on Cibacron Blue Sepharose, which selectively removes albumin and retards lipoproteins and γ-globulin, while effecting the molecular sieving of the remainder of the plasma proteins. This results in the separation of about 40% of the α-2-macroglobulin as a homogeneous component. A second step, gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 22, may be utilized to separate α-2-macroglobulin in contaminated fractions obtained after Cibacron Blue Sepharose chromatography.     

The three recombinant domains of human serum albumin. Structural characterization and ligand binding properties.

In an attempt to systematically dissect the ligand binding properties of human serum albumin (HSA), the gene segments encoding each of its three domains were defined based on their conserved homologous structural motifs and separately cloned into a secretion vector for Pichia pastoris. We were able to establish a generally applicable purification protocol based on Cibacron Blue affinity chromatography, suggesting that each of the three domains carries a binding site specific for this ligand. Proteins were characterized by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, gel filtration, N-terminal sequencing, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, as well as near- and far-UV CD. In addition to the affinity chromatography ligand Cibacron Blue, binding properties toward hemin, warfarin, and diazepam, each of which represents a standard ligand for HSA, respectively, were investigated by the measurement of induced circular dichroism. Clear experimental evidence is provided here for the location of the primary hemin binding site to be on domain I of HSA, and for the primary diazepam binding site to be on domain III. Further, secondary binding sites were found for hemin to be located on domains II and III, and for diazepam on domain I. The warfarin binding site was located primarily on domain II, while on domain I, a secondary binding site and/or parts of the primary binding site were found.     

The effect of matrix on the binding of albumin to immobilized Cibacron Blue.

With Cibacron Blue as a ligand, the suitability of Sepharose, Sephacryl, cellulose and Ultrogel as column supports for the affinity chromatography of human serum albumin was examined. Sepharose and Sephacryl were the most effective matrices. Albumin was readily removed from such columns by using an electrophoretic desorption technique.     

Spirulina ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase. Further characterization with an improved preparation

The preparation procedure for Spirulina ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (ferredoxin: NADP+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.18.1.2, FNR) was improved by adding protease inhibitors, phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF) and EDTA, through the whole process of preparation and by introducing an affinity chromatography step on Blue Sepharose CL-6B. The addition of the inhibitors largely prevented the formation of the minor component (FNR I), and the affinity gel chromatography simplified the preparation process, shortening the exposure period of FNR to proteolysis. However, complete removal of the heterogeneity of FNR found at the amino (N)-terminal region was not achieved even by applying the new method. The affinity chromatography on the Blue Sepharose gel was also effective in purifying spinach FNR. The affinity of this gel for Spirulina FNR was compared with that for the enzyme derived from spinach leaves. The spinach enzyme had a higher affinity than the Spirulina one. Both enzymes showed the highest affinities to Blue Sepharose at 20--30 mM NaCl concentration. The N-terminal sequence analysis revealed that there was 4 forms, which were probably modifications produced by exopeptidase action during the preparation, or even in the living cells. The longest component gave the N-terminal sequence Ala-Lys-Thr-Asp-Ile-Pro-Val-Asn-Ile-Tyr-. The others lacked amino acids successively one by one from the N-terminus. In contrast, the carboxyl(C)-terminal residues of all 4 FNR forms were tyrosine. The probable C-terminal sequence was predicted to be -Trp-His-Val-Gln-Thr-Tyr based on a study of a cyanogen bromide peptide.     

Detection of serum proteins by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using Blue Sepharose CL-6B-containing stacking gels

Analysis of serum proteins by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is difficult because albumin is abundant in serum and interferes with the resolution of other proteins, especially alpha-antitrypsin which has mobility that is very similar to that of albumin. We present here a method in which serum proteins are separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using stacking gels containing Blue Sepharose CL-6B, which has a high affinity for albumin, lipoproteins, kinases, and pyridine-nucleotide-dependent oxidoreductases. During electrophoresis, proteins that bind to Blue Sepharose CL-6B stay in the stacking gel and do not migrate into the separating gel. As a consequence, certain proteins, including alpha(1)-antitrypsin, can be detected as clear bands. This method overcomes the requirement for fractionation of serum samples prior to electrophoresis to remove albumin and allows the simultaneous analysis of many samples.     

Extension of the selection of protein chromatography and the rate model to affinity chromatography

The rational selection of optimal protein purification sequences, as well as mathematical models that simulate and allow optimization of chromatographic protein purification processes have been developed for purification procedures such as ion-exchange, hydrophobic interaction and gel filtration chromatography. This paper investigates the extension of such analysis to affinity chromatography both in the selection of chromatographic processes and in the use of the rate model for mathematical modelling and simulation. Two affinity systems were used: Blue Sepharose and Protein A. The extension of the theory developed previously for ion-exchange and HIC chromatography to affinity separations is analyzed in this paper. For the selection of operations two algorithms are used. In the first, the value of η, which corresponds to the efficiency (resolution) of the actual chromatography and, Σ, which determines the amount of a particular contaminant eliminated after each separation step, which determines the purity, have to be determined. It was found that the value of both these parameters is not generic for affinity separations but will depend on the type of affinity system used and will have to be determined on a case by case basis. With Blue Sepharose a salt gradient was used and with Protein A, a pH gradient. Parameters were determined with individual proteins and simulations of the protein mixtures were done. This approach allows investigation of chromatographic protein purification in a holistic manner that includes ion-exchange, HIC, gel filtration and affinity separations for the first time.     

Purification of orotate phosphoribosyltransferase and orotidylate decarboxylase by affinity chromatography on Sepharose dye derivatives.

Blue Dextran-Sepharose and Cibacron Blue F3GA-Sepharose (Blue Sepharose) were found to act as affinity adsorbents for orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (PRTase) and orotidine 5′-monophosphate (OMP) decarboxylase from bakers' yeast. Experiments with columns of Blue Dextran-Sepharose and partially purified preparations of the PRTase and decarboxylase revealed that both enzymes were selectively eluted by a low concentration (0.1–2 mm) of their respective substrate or immediate product. On the other hand, a much higher concentration (50–400 mm) of NaCl was required to displace these two enzymes from the above columns. Larger scale experiments showed that OMP decarboxylase in crude extracts was purified about 5700- and 6600-fold on Blue Sepharose using 0.5 mm OMP and 2 mm uridine 5′-monophosphate (UMP) as the eluting ligand, respectively. In contrast, orotate PRTase did not bind to Blue Sepharose unless crude extracts were first subjected to gel filtration. The resulting preparation of orotate PRTase, purified about sixfold with respect to cell-free extracts, was purified an additional 200- and 40-fold when the enzyme was eluted from Blue Sepharose with 0.5 mm OMP and 1 mm 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PP-ribose-P), respectively. Blue Dextran-Sepharose, on the other hand, was found to provide a lower degree of enzyme purification and exhibited a lower sample-binding capacity. Samples of the PRTase and decarboxylase that had been purified about 200- and 6000-fold, respectively, on Blue Sepharose displayed a major protein band and one or more minor bands when subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Enzyme activity coincided with the major band in all cases.     

Human serum albumin chromatography by Cibacron Blue F3GA-derived microporous polyamide hollow-fiber affinity membranes

An affinity dye ligand, Cibacron Blue F3GA was covalently attached onto commercially available microporous polyamide hollow-fibre membranes for human serum albumin (HSA) adsorption from both aqueous solutions and human plasma. Different amounts of Cibacron Blue F3GA were incorporated on the polyamide hollow-fibres by changing the dye attachment conditions, i.e. initial dye concentration, addition of sodium carbonate and sodium chloride. The maximum amount of Cibacron Blue F3GA attachment was obtained at 42.5 μmol g⁻¹ when the hollow-fibres were treated with 3 M HCl for 30 min before performing the dye attachment. HSA adsorption onto unmodified and Cibacron Blue F3GA-derived polyamide hollow-fibre membranes was investigated batchwise. The non-specific adsorption of HSA was very low (6.0 mg g⁻¹ hollow-fibre). Cibacron Blue F3GA attachment onto the hollow-fibres significantly increased the HSA adsorption (147 mg g⁻¹ hollow-fibre). The maximum HSA adsorption was observed at pH 5.0. Higher HSA adsorption was observed from human plasma (230 mg HSA g⁻¹ hollow-fibre). Desorption of HSA from Cibacron Blue F3GA derived hollow-fibres was obtained using 0.1 M Tris–HCl buffer containing 0.5 M NaSCN or 1.0 M NaCl. High desorption ratios (up to 98% of the adsorbed HSA) were observed. It was possible to reuse Cibacron Blue F3GA derived polyamide hollow-fibre without significant decreases in the adsorption capacities.     

Adsorption-desorption of BSA to highly substituted dye-ligand adsorbent: quantitative study of the effect of ionic strength

Cibacron Blue 3GA was immobilized on Sepharose CL-6B to obtain a highly substituted dye-ligand adsorbent which dye concentration was 17.4?μmol dye per gram wet gel. This adsorbent had a highly binding capacity for bovine serum albumin (BSA). The effects of ionic strength on the adsorption and desorption of BSA to the adsorbent were studied. Adsorption isotherms were expressed by the Langmuir model. The quantitative relationships between the model parameters and the ionic strength were obtained. The desorptions were performed by adding salt to the BSA solutions in which adsorption equilibria had been reached. Adding salt to the solution resulted in the desorption of the bound protein. It was found that the isotherm obtained from the desorption experiments agreed well to the isotherm obtained from the adsorption experiments at the same ionic strength. The result demonstrated that the adsorption of BSA to the highly substituted adsorbent was reversible.
