Abstract:The separation of three sets of standard protein mixtures on a high-performance immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (HP-IMAC) column by elution with linear gradients of imidazole is described. The affinity of the test proteins for the immobilized metal ions follows the order Cu2+ greater than Ni2+ greater than Zn2+. The iminodiacetic acid-Cu2+ column gives the best resolution of all three protein mixtures and is the only immobilized metal ion column that can be used for elution of absorbed proteins with a decreasing pH gradient. An application of HP-IMAC for the separation of monoclonal IgG from mouse ascites fluid is also outlined. This versatile separation method is thus suitable for both analytical and preparative separations of proteins and peptides resulting in high recoveries and good reproducibility. The leakage of immobilized metal ions from the TSK gel chelate-5PW is apparent if the column is eluted by buffers containing low concentrations of (i) glycine or (ii) primary amines at round neutral pH. Considerable amounts of immobilized Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions also leak from the column by washing with buffers of pH 4.5 or lower. However, all three immobilized metal ions are stable toward exposure to low concentrations of imidazole (up to 50 mM) in phosphate buffers between pH 6.5 and 8.0. Adsorbed proteins could thus be eluted conveniently by using linear gradients of imidazole to give reproducible results. Moreover, this elution procedure made it possible to use the IMAC columns for repeated runs without the need for regeneration and recharging of the columns with fresh metal ions after each use.
