Correlations to describe the effect of surface hydrophobicity and charge of proteins with their partition coefficient in aqueous two-phase systems were investigated. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000/phosphate, sulfate, citrate, and dextran systems in the presence of low (0.6% w/w) and high (8.8% w/w) levels of NaCl were selected for a systematic study of 12 proteins. The surface hydrophobicity of the proteins was measured by ammonium sulfate precipitation as the inverse of their solubility. The hydrophobicity values measured correlated well with the partition coefficients, K, obtained in the PEG/salt systems at high concentration of NaCl (r = 0.92-0.93). In PEG/citrate systems the partition coefficient correlated well with protein hydrophobicity at low and high concentrations of NaCl (r = 0.81 and 0.93, respectively). The PEG/citrate system also had a higher hydrophobic resolution than other systems to exploit differences in the protein's hydrophobicity. The surface charge and charge density of the proteins was determined over a range of pH (3-9) by electrophoretic titration curves; PEG/salt systems did not discriminate well between proteins of different charge or charge density. In the absence of NaCl, K decreased slightly with increased positive charge. At high NaCl concentration, K increased as a function of positive charge. This suggested that the PEG-rich top phase became more negative as the concentration of NaCl in the systems increased and, therefore, attracted the positively charged proteins. The effect of charge was more important in PEG/dextran systems at low concentrations of NaCl. In the PEG/dextran systems at lower concentration of NaCl, molecular weight appeared to be the prime determinant of partition, whereas no clear effect of molecular weight could be found in PEG/salt systems.  相似文献

Soluble recombinant Vitreoscilla hemoglobin was purified from E. coli lysate by sequential two-phase extraction techniques. Extraction of lysate containing VHb in PEG/dextran gave a 3.6-fold increase in VHb purity in the PEG-rich phase via a size exclusion mechanism. Further extraction of the recovered PEG phase in PEG/sodium sulfate gave an additional 2.0-fold increase in purity in the PEG-rich phase due to an electrostatic mechanism. Final extraction of the PEG phase in PEG/magnesium sulfate gave an additional 1.3-fold increase in VHb purity in the magnesium sulfate-rich phase. The final yield from the extractive purification was 47% with purity of VHb estimated to be greater than 95%. Yields from the sulfate salt extractions are essentially quantitative due to the extreme partitioning behavior of VHb in these systems. VHb partition coefficients as large as 46 in PEG/sodium sulfate and as small as 0.06 in PEG/magnesium sulfate were observed. Similar small partition coefficients were obtained with PEG/manganese sulfate extractions. This dramatic effect of divalent cation content on the partition coefficient of VHb in PEG/sulfate salt systems was investigated by pH and magnesium ion titration experiments. Results show the effect to be largest and nearly constant for pH values greater than 6.0 and diminished at lower pH values. A model based on magnesium ion binding to negatively charged amino acids is shown to correlate with the data well. Based on model formulation and the partitioning behavior of contaminant proteins, the observed effect is expected to be applicable to other proteins.  相似文献

The effect of protein concentration in partitioning in PEG/salt aqueous two-phase systems has been investigated. PEG 4000/phosphate systems in the presence of 0% w/w and 8.8% w/w NaCl have been evaluated using amyloglucosidase, subtilisin, and trypsin inhibitor. Also, a PEG 4000/phosphate system with 3% w/w NaCl was used for alpha-amylase. The concentration of the protein in each of the phases affected its partition behavior. The pattern for the individual proteins was dependent on their physicochemical properties. In the top phase, maximum protein concentration was determined mainly by a steric exclusion effect of PEG, and hydrophobic interaction between PEG and proteins. In the bottom phase, maximum concentration was determined mainly by a salting-out effect of the salts present. As the ionic strength was increased in the systems the concentration in the top phase increased for all proteins. In the bottom phase an increase in ionic strength increased the salting-out effect. Amyloglucosidase had a very low maximum concentration in the PEG-rich top phase which was probably due to its large size (steric exclusion) and low hydrophobicity, and a high concentration in the salt-rich bottom phase due to its high hydrophilicity. In the case of subtilisin and trypsin inhibitor, their high concentrations in the top phase were due to their hydrophobic nature (hydrophobic interaction with PEG) and small size (negligible steric exclusion). The maximum concentration in the bottom phase for trypsin inhibitor was lower than that of subtilisin which was probably due to its higher hydrophobicity and, hence, a stronger salting-out effect. The protein concentration in each of the two phases was correlated with a "saturation"-type equation. The partition coefficient could be satisfactorily predicted, as a function of the overall protein concentration, by the ratio between the "saturation" equations of the two individual phases. Better correlations were obtained when an empirical sigmoidal Boltzmann equation was fitted to the data, since in virtually all cases the partition coefficient is constant at low protein concentration (true partitioning) and changes to a different constant value at a high overall protein concentration.

The effect of potassium thiocyanate on the partitioning of lysozyme and BSA in polyethylene glycol 2000/ammonium sulfate aqueous two-phase system has been investigated. As a result of the addition of potassium thiocyanate to the PEG/ammonium sulfate system, the PEG/mixed salts aqueous two-phase system was formed. It was found that the potassium thiocyanate could alter the pH difference between the two phases, and, thus, influence the partition coefficients of the differently charged proteins. The relationship between partition coefficient of the proteins and pH difference between two phases has been discussed. It was proposed that the pH difference between two phases could be employed as the measurement of electrostatic driving force for the partitioning of charged proteins in polyethylene 2000/ammonium sulfate aqueous two-phase system.  相似文献

The partition behaviour of cutinase on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–hydroxypropyl starch aqueous two-phase systems was characterized. The effect of molecular mass of PEG, the pH of the system and tie-line length on cutinase partition coefficient and cutinase yield to the top phase was investigated for systems prepared with a purified hydroxypropyl starch (Reppal PES 100) and a crude one (HPS). The effect of the presence of different salts, such as sodium chloride, sodium sulphate and ammonium sulphate, on cutinase partition was also studied. The results lead to the conclusion that aqueous two-phase systems composed of PEG and hydroxypropyl starch are not efficient in the purification of cutinase. In the majority of cases, the partition coefficients were very close to 1, with pH being the factor which affects most cutinase partition. Partition coefficients were significantly improved when salts were added to the systems. For PEG 4000–Reppal PES 100 [at pH 4.0; 0.5 M (NH4)2SO4], the partition coefficient for cutinase was 3.7, while a value of 12 was obtained for PEG 4000–HPS (at pH 4.0; 1 M NaCl). An isoelectric point (pI) of 7.8 was confirmed for cutinase by constructing a cross partition graphic from the results obtained in the experiments with different salts.  相似文献

This work discusses the application of an aqueous two-phase system for the purification of lipases produced by Bacillus sp. ITP-001 using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and potassium phosphate. In the first step, the protein content was precipitated with ammonium sulphate (80% saturation). The enzyme remained in the aqueous solution and was dialyzed against ultra-pure water for 18 h and used to prepare an aqueous two-phase system (PEG/potassium phosphate). The use of different molecular weights of PEG to purify the lipase was investigated; the best purification factor (PF) was obtained using PEG 20,000g/mol, however PEG 8000 was used in the next tests due to lower viscosity. The influence of PEG and potassium phosphate concentrations on the enzyme purification was then studied: the highest FP was obtained with 20% of PEG and 18% of potassium phosphate. NaCl was added to increase the hydrophobicity between the phases, and also increased the purification factor. The pH value and temperature affected the enzyme partitioning, with the best purifying conditions achieved at pH 6.0 and 4°C. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was determined to be approximately 54 kDa by SDS-PAGE. According to the results the best combination for purifying the enzyme is PEG 8000g/mol and potassium phosphate (20/18%) with 6% of NaCl at pH 6.0 and 4°C (201.53 fold). The partitioning process of lipase is governed by the entropy contribution.  相似文献

Summary Ferric ion (Fe3+) complexed to iminodiacetic acid (IDA)-polyethylene glycol enhances the partitioning of phosphoproteins in PEG/dextran aqueous two-phase systems. The ratio of partition coefficients in the presence and absence of Fe(III)IDA-PEG, K/K0, is highly sensitive to pH, increasing in the pH range of 3.0 to 5.0 and decreasing rapidly with a further increase in pH. The steep decline in partition coefficients above pH 5 can be explained by inhibitory binding of hydroxyl ions to ferric ion. In metal-affinity partitioning of phosvitin, the most highly phosphorylated protein known, K/K01,000 was obtained. This is one of the highest values reported for affinity partitioning.  相似文献

Partitioning of 15 proteins in polyethylene glycol (PEG)–sodium sulfate aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) formed by PEG of two different molecular weights, PEG-600 and PEG-8000 in the presence of different buffers at pH 7.4 was studied. The effect of two salt additives (NaCl and NaSCN) on the protein partition behavior was examined. The salt effects on protein partitioning were analyzed by using the Collander solvent regression relationship between the proteins partition coefficients in ATPS with and without salt additives. The results obtained show that the concentration of buffer as well as the presence and concentration of salt additives affects the protein partition behavior. Analysis of ATPS in terms of the differences between the relative hydrophobicity and electrostatic properties of the phases does not explain the protein partition behavior. The differences between protein partitioning in PEG-600–salt and PEG-8000–salt ATPS cannot be explained by the protein size or polymer excluded volume effect. It is suggested that the protein–ion and protein–solvent interactions in the phases of ATPS are primarily important for protein partitioning.  相似文献

Use of the thermodynamic principles of aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) to drive protein into a crosslinked gel is developed as a protein isolation and separation technique, and as a protein loading technique for drug delivery applications. A PEG/dextran gel system was chosen as a model system because PEG/dextran systems are widely used in aqueous two-phase extraction and dextran gels (Sephadex(R)) are common chromatographic media. The effects of polymer concentrations and molecular weights, salts, and pH on the partitioning of ovalbumin matched ATPE heuristics and data trends. Gel partition coefficients (Cgel/Csolution) increased with increasing PEG molecular weight and concentration and decreasing dextran concentration (increased gel swelling). The addition of PEG to the buffer solution yielded partition coefficients more than an order of magnitude greater than those obtained in systems with buffer alone, or added salt. A combined salt/PEG system yielded an additional order of magnitude increase. For example, when ovalbumin solution (2.3 mg/mL) was equilibrated with Sephadex(R) G-50 at pH 6.75, the partition coefficients were 0.13 in buffer, 0.11 in buffer with 0.22M KI, 2.3 in 12 wt% PEG-10,000 and 32.0 in 12 wt% PEG-10, 000 with 0.22M KI. The effect of anions and cations as well as ionic strength and pH on the partitioning of ovalbumin also matched ATPE heuristics. Using the heuristics established above, partition coefficients as high as 80 for bovine serum albumin and protein recoveries over 90% were achieved. In addition, the wide range of partition coefficients that were obtained for different proteins suggests the potential of the technique for separating proteins. Also, ovalbumin sorption capacities in dextran were as high as 450 mg/g dry polymer, and the sorption isotherms were linear over a broad protein concentration range.  相似文献

The partitioning pattern of bovine trypsinogen (TRPz) and alpha-chymotrypsinogen (ChTRPz) was investigated in a low impact aqueous two-phase system formed by polyethyleneglycol (PEG) and sodium tartrate (NaTart) pH 5.00. ChTRPz exhibited higher partition coefficients than TRPz did in all the assayed systems. The decrease in PEG molecular weight and the increase in tie line length were observed to displace the partitioning equilibrium of both proteins to the top phase, while phase volume ratios in the range 0.5–1.5 showed not to affect protein partitioning behaviour. Systems formed by PEG of molecular weight 600 with composition corresponding to a high tie line length (PEG 12.93%, w/w and NaTart 21.20%, w/w) are able to recover most of both zymogens in the polymer-enriched phase. A crucial role of PEG–protein interaction in the partitioning mechanism was evidenced by isothermal calorimetric titrations. The major content of highly exposed tryptophan rests, present in ChTRPz molecule, could be considered to be determinant of its higher partition coefficient due to a selective charge transfer interaction with PEG molecule. A satisfactory correlation between partition coefficient and protein surface hydrophobicity was observed in systems formed with PEGs of molecular weight above 4000, this finding being relevant in the design of an extraction process employing aqueous two-phase systems.  相似文献

An iminodiacetic acid derivative of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-IDA) that chelates metal cations has been synthesized and used to extract proteins in metal affinity aqueous two-phase PEG/dextran systems. With less than 1% of the PEG substituted with chelated copper, partition coefficients are shown to increase by factors of up to 37 over extraction with unsubstituted PEG. The proteins studied are preferentially extracted into the Cu(II)PEGIDA phase in proportion to the number of accessible histidine residues on their surface. The affinity contribution to partitioning is proportional to the number of exposed histidine over a very wide range. The partition coefficients of heme-containing proteins measured in the Cu(II)PEG-IDA/dextran systems increase with the pH of the extraction mixture from pH 5.5 to pH 8.0, while partition coefficients in the unsubstituted PEG/dextran systems are very nearly independent of pH. The strong pH dependence of the metalaffinity extraction can be utilized in the recovery of the extracted protein.  相似文献

The partitioning behaviour of a drug (capsaicin)-responsive NADH oxidase (tNOX) activity released from HeLa ceIls by low pH treatment followed by heat and proteinase K was determined. When partitioned in a standard 6.4% PEG 3350/6.4% dextran T-500 two-phase system, the bulk of the tNOX activity was in the dextran-rich lower phase. The activity was inhibited by and bound to the triazine dye, Cibacron blue. Affinity partition, where the Cibacron blue was coupled to amino PEG 5000 and added to the first two-phase separation step, resulted in the partitioning of activity to the upper PEG phase. A second partition with PEG-salts resulted in the release of the tNOX from the Cibacron blue–amino PEG enriched phase into the salt-enriched lower phase. The phase-purified protein exhibited anomalous behavior and tended to multimerize in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) prior to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Multimerization appeared to be enhanced by PEG. The multimerization was enhanced with the reduced protein in the presence of detergent prior to SDS–PAGE. In addition, the activity was precipitated by PEG 8000 at concentrations between 6 and 30% by weight. In the presence of or after exposure to PEG 3350 or PEG 8000, the protein could not be detected by Western blot analysis after SDS–PAGE suggesting that the protein failed to enter the gel even though other HeLa cell surface proteins were unaffected. The anomalous multimerization behavior has thus far precluded the use of phase partition as a practical purification step for the oxidase.  相似文献

The partitioning of proteases expressed by Penicillium restrictum from Brazilian Savanna in an inexpensive aqueous two-phase system composed of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and sodium polyacrylate (NaPA) was studied. The effects of PEG molecular weight and concentration, as well as NaPA concentration and the concentration of fermented broth on protease partitioning were studied. Partitioning into the top PEG-rich phase was increased in systems with smaller PEG-molecular weight, higher NaPA concentration and lower PEG concentration. For most systems studied, purification has been achieved by directing the biomolecule partition to the opposite phase of the other proteins, providing the enzyme purification. The highest partition coefficient was obtained using 20 wt% NaPA, 4 wt% PEG 2000 g mol−1 and 45 wt% fermented broth, leading to a purification factor of 1.98 and partition coefficient of 37.73. The system showed high mass balances and yield, indicating enzyme stability and applicability for industrial processes. The partitioning results using the PEG/NaPA/NaCl system show that this method could be used to purify or concentrate protease from fermented broth.  相似文献

The study includes partitioning of proteins in aqueous two-phase systems consisting of the polymer dextran and the non-ionic surfactant C12E5 (pentaethylene glycol mono-n-dodecyl ether). In this system a micelle-enriched phase is in equilibrium with a polymer-enriched phase. Charges can be introduced into the micelles by the addition of charged surfactants. The charge of the mixed micelles is easily varied in sign and magnitude independently of pH, by the addition of different amounts of negatively charged surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), or positively charged surfactant dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DoTAC). A series of water-soluble model proteins (BSA, β-lactoglobulin, myoglobin, cytochrome c and lysozyme), with different net charges at pH 7.1, have been partitioned in non-charged systems and in systems with charged mixed micelles or charged polymer (dextran sulphate). It is shown that partition coefficients for charged proteins in dextran-C12E5 systems can be strongly affected by addition of charged surfactants (SDS, DoTAC) or polymer (dextran sulphate) and that the effects are directly correlated to protein net charge.  相似文献

Four different beta-galactosidase fusion proteins have been partitioned in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 4000/potassium phosphate aqueous two-phase systems. The partition coefficients (K) of staphylococcal protein A-beta-galactosidase (SpA beta gal) (K = 3.5) and staphylococcal protein A-streptococcal protein G-beta-galactosidase (AG beta gal) (K = 2.8) were compared with the partition coefficients of their constituent molecules, beta-galactosidase, SpA, and protein AG. It was found that by fusing beta-galactosidase to the smaller proteins SpA and protein AG, their partition coefficients were increased four to five times. Experimental data were fitted into, and found to agree with, the Albertsson partition model of interacting molecules. The compatibility with PEG and potassium phosphate of beta-galactosidase, SpA, and two different versions of the SpA beta gal protein, displayed as precipitation curves, showed a relationship to the protein partition coefficients in PEG/potassium phosphate systems. High solubility in one phase component was accompanied by preferential partitioning to the phase rich in the same component in the PEG/potassium phosphate system. Also, a changed linker region in SpA beta gal resulted in a more soluble protein. This, together with the improved K values of the target proteins by fusion, shows that it is possible to use beta-galactosidase as an affinity handle.  相似文献

The partitioning of alpha-1-antitrypsin was assayed in biphasic aqueous systems containing potassium phosphate and two polyethyleneglycols of molecular mass 600 and 1000, respectively. In order to isolate the alpha-1-antitrypsin from serum plasma, the partitioning behaviour of human serum albumin, its principal contaminant, was also studied. Several aqueous two-phase systems with different partitioning properties were obtained by varying the PEG1000/PEG600 mass proportion. In systems with PEG1000/PEG600 mass ratio of 8, the optimal difference between the partition coefficients of both proteins was found. Under such conditions, a satisfactory purification was carried out by a three-step extraction procedure. By applying this method the alpha-1-antitrypsin specific activity increased severalfold (nearly 10 times) with a yield of 43%.  相似文献

Pepsin partitioning, a gastric acid protease, in aqueous two-phase systems of polyethyleneglycol/potassium phosphate, sodium citrate and ammonium sulphate was assayed using polyethylenglycol of different molecular mass. Pepsin was found to be partitioned towards the polymer-rich phase in all the systems, which suggests an important protein-polymer interaction due to the highly hydrophobic character of the protein surface exposed to the solvent. The pepsin partitioning behavior was explained according to Timasheff's preferential interaction theory. The process was driven entropically with participation of structured water around the polyethyleneglycol ethylenic chains. The best pepsin recovery was observed in the systems polyethyleneglycol molecular mass 600. These systems were chosen in order to assay the bovine stomach homogenate partition and to compare different working conditions such as the top-bottom phase volume ratio and homogenate proportions in the total system. The best purification factors were obtained with PEG600/potassium phosphate with low top-bottom volume ratio using 15% of bovine stomach homogenate in the system total mass.  相似文献

Aqueous two-phase systems are composed of aqueous solutions of either two water-soluble polymers, usually polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dextran (Dx), or a polymer and a salt, usually PEG and phosphate or sulfate. Partitioning of proteins in such systems provides a powerful method for separating and purifying mixtures of biomolecules by extraction. If one of the phase forming polymers is a crosslinked gel, then the solution-controlled gel sorption may be considered as a modification of aqueous two-phase extraction. Since PEG/dextran systems are widely used in aqueous two-phase extraction and dextran gels (Sephadex) are common chromatographic media, we choose a PEG/dextran gel system as a model system in this study. The partitioning behavior of pure bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PEG/dextran gel systems is investigated to see the effects of variations in PEG and NaCl concentrations on the partition coefficient K. By making use of the Box-Wilson experimental design, K is shown to be maximized at 9.8 (%, w/w) PEG and 0.2 M NaCl concentrations, respectively, as 182.  相似文献
