Modification of enzyme activity in reversed micelles through clathrate hydrate formation.

The physical phenomenon of clathrate hydrate formation in protein-containing reversed micelles is described. Hydrate formation in reversed micelles is a method of adjusting the water to surfactant molar ratio, wo, which influences micellar size. Lipase and alpha-chymotrypsin encapsulated in large reversed micelles of high wo show significant enhancements in activity when the micelle size is reduced through hydrate formation. Alternate methods of micelle size adjustments also show enhancements in activity. The implications for improving the activity of such encapsulated enzymes recovered from fermentation media through phase transfer into reversed micelles are discussed.     

Purification of intracellular enzymes from whole bacterial cells using reversed micelles

A new, rapid pre-chromatography isolation procedure for intracellular enzymes from whole bacterial cells has been developed using reversed micelles. The method involves two relatively simple steps. In the first step, bacterial cells are disintegrated by the surfactants in the reversed micellar medium, and in the second step the liberated enzymes are extracted from the reversed micellar phase into an aqueous phase. The feasibility of using reversed micelles as a bioseparation tool has been demonstrated by following the activities and recoveries of three different dehydrogenases from Azotobacter vinelandii.     

Dynamic light scattering of cutinase in AOT reverse micelles

The fungal lipolytic enzyme cutinase, incorporated into sodium bis-(2ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate reversed micelles has been investigated using dynamic light scattering. The reversed micelles form spontaneously when water is added to a solution of sodium bis-(2ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate in isooctane. When an enzyme is previously dissolved in the water before its addition to the organic phase, the enzyme will be incorporated into the micelles. Enzyme encapsulation in reversed micelles can be advantageous namely to the conversion of water insoluble substrates and to carry out synthesis reactions. However protein unfolding occurs in several systems as for cutinase in sodium bis-(2ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate reversed micelles. Dynamic light scattering measurements of sodium bis-(2ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate reversed micelles with and without cutinase were taken at different water to surfactant ratios. The results indicate that cutinase was attached to the micellar wall and that might cause cutinase unfolding. The interactions between cutinase and the bis-(2ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate interface are probably the driving force for cutinase unfolding at room temperature. Twenty-four hours after encapsulation, when cutinase is unfolded, a bimodal distribution was clearly observed. The radii of reversed micelles with unfolded cutinase were determined and found to be considerable larger than the radii of the empty reversed micelles. The majority of the reversed micelles were empty (90-96% of mass) and the remainder (4-10%) containing unfolded cutinase were larger by 26-89 A.     

Protein refolding by reversed micelles utilizing solid-liquid extraction technique

This article reports that a reversed micellar solution is useful for refolding proteins directly from a solid source. The solubilization of denatured RNase A, which had been prepared by reprecipitation from the denaturant protein solution, into reversed micelles formulated with sodium di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) has been investigated by a solid-liquid extraction system. This method is an alternative to the ordinary protein extraction in reversed micelles based on the liquid-liquid extraction. The solid-liquid extraction method was found to facilitate the solubilization of denatured proteins more efficiently in the reversed micellar media than the ordinary phase transfer method of liquid extraction. The refolding of denatured RNase A entrapped in reversed micelles was attained by adding a redox reagent (reduced and oxidized glutathion). Enzymatic activity of RNase A was gradually recovered with time in the reversed micelles. The denatured RNase A was completely refolded within 30 h. In addition, the efficiency of protein refolding was enhanced when reversed micelles were applied to denatured RNase A containing a higher protein concentration that, in the case of aqueous media, would lead to protein aggregation. The solid-liquid extraction technique using reversed micelles affords better scale-up advantages in the direct refolding process of insoluble protein aggregates.     

Protein refolding in reversed micelles

A novel process has been developed which uses reversed micelles to isolate denatured protein molecules from each other and allows them to refold individually. These reversed micelles are aqueous phase droplets stabilized by the surfactant AOT and suspended in isooctane. By adjusting conditions such that only one protein molecule is present per reversed micelle, it was possible to achieve independent folding without encountering the problem of aggregation due to interactions with neighboring molecules. The feasibility of this process was demonstrated using bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A as a model system. It was shown that denatured and reduced ribonuclease can be transferred from a buffered solution containing guanidine hydrochloride into reversed micelles to a greater extent than native enzyme under the same conditions. The denaturant concentration can then be significantly reduced in the reversed micellar phase, while retaining most of the protein, by means of extractive contacting stages with a denaturant-free aqueous solution. Denatured and reduced ribonuclease will subsequently recover full activity inside reversed micelles within 24 h upon addition of a mixture of reduced and oxidized glutathione to reoxidize disulfide bonds. Extraction of this refolded enzyme from reversed micelles back into aqueous solution can be accomplished by contacting the reversed micelle phase with a high ionic strength (1.0M KCl) aqueous solution containing ethyl acetate.     

Protein extration from an aqueous phase into a reversed micellar phase: Effect of water content and reversed micellar composition

In the system composed of the cationic surfactant TOMAC (10 mM), the nonionic (co)surfactant Rewopal HV5 (2 mM), and octanol (0.1% v/v) in isooctane, reversed micelles are formed upon contact with an aqueous phase containing 50 mM ethylene diamine. alpha-Amylase can be transferred from the aqueous phase into reversed micelles in the pH range 9.5 to 10.5 and re-extracted into a second aqueous phase of different composition. The size of the reversed micelles (as reflected in the water content of the organic phase) can be varied by changes in percentage of octanol, type of counterion in the aqueous phase, or in the number of ethoxylate head groups of the nonionic surfactant. An increase in size results in transfer at lower pH values. Experiments in which the charge density in the reversed micellar interface was changed by incorporation of charged derivatives of the nonionic surfactant, without influencing the water content, revealed that an increased charge density facilitated transfer, resulting in a broader transfer profile. Replacement of TOMAC by other quaternary ammonium surfactants differing in number and length of tails revealed that, of the 14 surfactants tested, only 2 gave appreciable amounts of transfer. The amount of transfer is related to the dynamics of phase separation of the surfactants: those giving a poor phase separation inactivate the enzyme. This inactivation is caused by electrostatic interactions between the charged surfactant head groups and charged groups on the enzyme. Electrostatic interactions are the first step of transfer, and can result in either incorporation in a reversed micelle, or, if reversed micelle formation is slow, in enzyme inactivation.

Enzyme kinetics in reversed micelles. 3. Behaviour of 20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

The kinetic parameters of 20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase were determined in aqueous solutions and in reversed micellar media composed with either an anionic, a cationic or a nonionic surfactant, at low and at high ionic strength. The velocity data were analysed in two ways: first by extrapolation to infinite concentrations of both substrates to determine 'apparent' Michaelis constants and V values, and secondly by comparison to reaction rates calculated using the model presented (see first of this series of papers in this issue of the journal). Data analysis according to the first method reveals some differences in the kinetic parameters in reversed micelles as compared to those in aqueous solution, though the kinetic parameters of the enzyme seem not to be much affected by enclosure in reversed micelles. It is shown that the changes that do occur are not caused by a shift of the intramicellar pH or by electrostatic interactions between the enzyme and the surfactant head groups. Interpretation of the data using the second method assumes that the enzyme is not affected by the enclosure in reversed micelles, and that deviations with respect to the aqueous parameters are caused by exchange phenomena between distinct aqueous droplets in the organic phase and by a high effective intramicellar substrate concentration. This model is able to predict reaction rates that agree rather well with experimentally determined rates and explains why the enzyme mechanism in reversed micelles is, at all progesterone concentrations used, the same as observed at high progesterone concentrations in aqueous solution. Furthermore it clarifies the occurrence of substrate inhibition in sodium-di(ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate-reversed micelles and the observed low activity in Triton-reversed micelles, as arising from the high partition coefficient of progesterone and the slow rate of diffusion of progesterone into the reversed micelles. From these results, and those reported for enoate reductase (see preceding paper in this issue of the journal) it can be concluded that the theory presented before (see first of this series of papers in this issue of the journal) offers a good explanation for the observed kinetic behaviour in reversed micelles, and emphasizes the importance of exchange processes between micelles.     

Extraction of horseradish peroxidase and its conjugates formed by surface-active agent micelles

The author studied peculiarities of the extraction of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and its conjugates with 3 and 7 molecules of progesterone (PROG) from the aqueous solution into heptane and chloroform containing reversed micelles of surfactants. Micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, Aerosol OT, and Triton X-45 protect the enzyme from denaturation in the biphasic system. The enzyme is readily extracted from the aqueous phase in the organic medium containing reversed micelles of surfactants at low values of pH. The addition of PEG-6000 (5%) to the aqueous phase enhances the enzyme solubilization at pH 8.6-9.0. The enzyme solubilization significantly increases, when surfactants with unlike charges are used. Inorganic salts decrease the specific solubilization of the enzyme. The HRP modification with progesterone has a weak effect on the enzyme solubilization with reversed micelles.     

Mechanism of extraction of chymotrypsin into isooctane at very low concentrations of aerosol OT in the absence of reversed micelles

Chymotrypsin is easily extracted from an aqueous solution into isooctane containing the anionic surfactant aerosol OT (AOT). The concentration of AOT needed to efficiently extract 0.5 mg/mL CMT is as low as 1 mM and as low as 0.2 mM AOT was sufficient to extract the protein into isooctane. The extraction process was unaffected by 10% (v/v) ethyl acetate in the isooctane phase. Moreover, spectroscopic analysis by electron paramagnetic resonance indicated that CMT did not exist inside a discreet water pool of a reversed micelle. Calculations of the number of AOT molecules associated per extracted CMT molecule indicate that only ca. 30 surfactant molecules interact with the protein, a value too low for reversed micellar incorporation of the protein in isooctane. These studies suggested that reversed micelles do not need to be involved in the actual transfer of the protein from the aqueous to the organic phase and protein solubilization in the organic phase is possible in the absence of reversed micelles. Based on these findings, a new mechanism has been proposed herein for protein extraction via the phase transfer method involving ionic surfactants. The central theme of this mechanism is the formation of an electrostatic complex between CMT and AOT at the aqueous/organic interface between AOT and CMT, thereby leading to the formation of a hydrophobic species that partitions into the organic phase. Consistent with this mechanism, the efficiency of extraction is dependent on the interfacial mass transfer, the concentrations of CMT and AOT in the aqueous and organic phases, respectively; the ionic strength of the aqueous phase; and the presence of various cosolvents.

Development of a new reversed micelle liquid emulsion membrane for protein extraction

A new type of liquid emulsion membrane containing reversed micelles for protein extraction is introduced. A three-step extraction mechanism is proposed including solubilization, transportation, and release of the protein. The surfactants Span80 and sodium di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) are used to stabilize the membrane phase and to build up the reversed micelles, respectively. alpha-Chymotrypsin was used as the model protein. The condition in the internal phase inhibits the solubilization process of the already extracted protein back into reversed micelles. Concerning the solubilization, we studied the influence of the AOT concentration in the membrane phase and the ionic strength in the external phase. The extraction rate increases with higher AOT concentration and decreases with higher ionic strength. Using NaCl in the external phase led to better extraction results than using KCl. Maximum extraction results of 98% into the membrane phase and 65% into the internal phase were obtained. This condition retained 60% of the enzyme's activity. The concentration of KCl in the internal phase does not affect the solubilization rate but the release into the internal phase. By this way the ionic strength in the internal phase is used as the driving force for the protein release. The solubilization process is much faster than the diffusion and the releasing process, as found by variation of the extraction time. The influence of the operating conditions on the membrane swelling is also discussed. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 53: 267-273, 1997.
