Fluorescent IgG fusion proteins made in E. coli

Antibodies are among the most powerful tools in biological and biomedical research and are presently the fastest growing category of new bio-pharmaceutics. The most common format of antibody applied for therapeutic, diagnostic and analytical purposes is the IgG format. For medical applications, recombinant IgGs are made in cultured mammalian cells in a process that is too expensive to be considered for producing antibodies for diagnostic and analytical purposes. Therefore, for such purposes, mouse monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal sera from immunized animals are used. While looking for an easier and more rapid way to prepare full-length IgGs for therapeutic purposes, we recently developed and reported an expression and purification protocol for full-length IgGs, and IgG-based fusion proteins in E. coli, called “Inclonals.” By applying the Inclonals technology, we could generate full-length IgGs that are genetically fused to toxins. The aim of the study described herein was to evaluate the possibility of applying the “Inclonals” technology for preparing IgG-fluorophore fusion proteins. We found that IgG fused to the green fluorescent proteins enhanced GFP (EGFP) while maintaining functionality in binding, lost most of its fluorescence during the refolding process. In contrast, we found that green fluorescent Superfolder GFP (SFGFP)-fused IgG and red fluorescent mCherry-fused IgG were functional in antigen binding and maintained fluorescence intensity. In addition, we found that we can link several SFGFPs in tandem to each IgG, with fluorescence intensity increasing accordingly. Fluorescent IgGs made in E. coli may become attractive alternatives to monoclonal or polyclonal fluorescent antibodies derived from animals.

Fabrication of Myogenic Engineered Tissue Constructs

Despite the fact that electronic pacemakers are life-saving medical devices, their long-term performance in pediatric patients can be problematic owing to the restrictions imposed by a child''s small size and their inevitable growth. Consequently, there is a genuine need for innovative therapies designed specifically for pediatric patients with cardiac rhythm disorders. We propose that a conductive biological alternative consisting of a collagen-based matrix containing autologously-derived cells could better adapt to growth, reduce the need for recurrent surgeries, and greatly improve the quality of life for these patients. In the present study, we describe a procedure for incorporating primary skeletal myoblast cell cultures within a hydrogel matrix to fashion a surgically-implantable tissue construct that will serve as an electrical conduit between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Ultimately, we anticipate using this type of engineered tissue to restore atrioventricular electrical conduction in children with complete heart block. In view of that, we isolate myoblasts from the skeletal muscles of neonatal Lewis rats and plate them onto laminin-coated tissue culture dishes using a modified version of established protocols^{[2, 3]}. After one to two days, cultured cells are collected and mixed with antibiotics, type 1 collagen, Matrigel™, and NaHCO₃. The result is a viscous, uniform solution that can be cast into a mold of nearly any shape and size^{[1, 4, 5]}. For our tissue constructs, we employ type 1 collagen isolated from fetal lamb skin using standard procedures^[6]. Once the tissue has solidified at 37°C, culture media is carefully added to the plate until the construct is submerged. The engineered tissue is then allowed to further condense through dehydration for 2 more days, at which point it is ready for in vitro assessment or surgical-implantation.Open in a separate windowClick here to view.^{(86M, flv)}

Biological properties of L-asparaginase preparations from E. coli in cell cultures]

Non-specific cytotoxicity and specific antitumor activity of 5 preparations of L-asparaginase from E. coli were studied. Two cell line, i.e. the asparagine-dependent (Berkitt lymphoma cells) and asparagin-independent (human ovary cancer cells) were used as the test-system. Incorporation of 3H-thimidine into DNA was the criterion of the preparation effect on the cells. Preparation I with the specific activity of 60-90 IU per 1 mg of protein obtained at the first stages of purification had high non-specific cytotoxicity. Preparation II obtained after further purification of preparation I, as well as preparation II without any stabilizer with the specific activity of 200 IU/mg were not inferior to the "Bayer" preparation by their biological properties. Addition of L-asparaginase to the preparation as a stabilizer of excessive glycine (preparation IV) increased its non-specific cytotoxicity and interfered with the study of its properties in the cell systems. Mannitol (preparation V) had no effect on the biological activity of L-asparaginase preparation.     

Engineered heterologous FPP synthases-mediated Z,E-FPP synthesis in E. coli

Production of Z-type farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) has not been reported in Escherichia coli. Here we present the fusion enzyme (ILRv) of E. coli E,E-FPP synthase (IspA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Z,E-FPP synthase (Rv1086), which can produce primarily Z,E-FPP rather than E,E-FPP, the predominant stereoisomer found in most organisms. Z,E-farnesol (FOH) was produced from E. coli harboring the bottom portion of the MVA pathway and the fusion FPP synthase (ILRv) at a titer of 115.6 mg/L in 2 YT medium containing 1% (v/v) glycerol as a carbon source and 5 mM mevalonate. The Z,E-FOH production was improved by 15-fold, compared with 7.7 mg/L obtained from the co-overexpression of separate IspA and Rv1086. The Z,E-FPP was not metabolized in native metabolic pathways of E. coli. It would be of interest to produce Z,E-FPP derived sesquiterpenes from recombinant E. coli due to no loss of Z,E-FPP substrate in endogenous metabolism of the host strain.

Expression of spinach plastocyanin in E. coli

An expression vector designed for overexpression of plastocyanin in the periplasmic space of E. coli has been developed. The vector contains the signal peptide sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin and the mature sequence of spinach plastocyanin. The precursor is efficiently translocated to the periplasmic space and correctly processed to mature plastocyanin. No detectable amount of plastocyanin was present in the cytoplasmic or in the membrane fraction. A large scale preparation of the recombinant plastocyanin in a 20 litre fermentor yielded approximately 30 mg of pure plastocyanin. The recombinant protein obtained from E. coli shows CD, EPR and optical properties identical to plastocyanin isolated from spinach.

Expression and purification of mouse TIMP-1 from E. coli.

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) constitute a family of secreted glycoproteins involved in regulating extracellular matrix degradation in both normal and malignant tissues. We have expressed a cDNA clone of mouse TIMP-1 as a 22-kDa protein with 12 cysteine residues in E. coli and purified protein that shows inhibitory activity against collagenase following renaturation by chemical means. The low specific activity and circular dichroism measurements suggest, however, that the renaturation of the mouse recombinant (non-glycosylated) protein is not efficient under the conditions we have used, indicative of either thermodynamic instability or the transition to kinetic intermediates which have very low in vitro refolding rates.
