Functional polymer affinity matrix for purifying hexahistidine-tagged recombinant protein

A functional polyacrylic acid (PAA) adsorbent has been prepared for metal chelate affinity chromatography. It has been found to chelate nickel ion Ni2+ strongly, and was evaluated for the ability to bind proteins containing neighbouring histidine residues. The principle of the technique was illustrated with Aeromonas hydrophila outer membrane protein OmpTS. DNA elements coding for adjacent histidines were fused to the Aeromonas hydrophila ompTS gene. Subsequent expression in E. coli resulted in the production of hybrid protein His6-OmpTS that could be purified by Ni2+-PAA affinity chromatography. The remarkable specificity found makes it an attractive addition to the range of adsorbents for metal chelate affinity chromatography.     

Effect of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ on horseradish peroxidase: activation,inhibition, and denaturation studies

The effects of transition metal ions (M2+) such as Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ on the functional and structural stabilities of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were investigated with respect to reversible chemical denaturation, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, chemical modification and time-dependent catalytic activity. Conformational Gibbs free energy (deltaGo(H2O)) as a structural stability criterion and transition concentrations of metal ions ([M2+] 1/2) were estimated using a two-state chemical denaturation model. Activation and inhibitory concentration ranges for each metal ion were specified by the steady-state enzyme kinetics. Results of a pH-profile method confirmed by chemical modification indicate that a histidine residue interacts in the activation concentration range, whereas carboxylic residues (Asp and Glu) contribute to interaction in the inhibitory concentration range. Incubation of the enzyme with the metal ion at activation concentration leads to long-term functional stability of peroxidase. Thus, such metal ions as potent effectors induced the enhancement of conformational and functional stabilities of horseradish peroxidase.     

Quercetin 2,4‐Dioxygenase Activates Dioxygen in a Side‐On O2–Ni Complex

Quercetin 2,4‐dioxygenase (quercetinase) from Streptomyces uses nickel as the active‐site cofactor to catalyze oxidative cleavage of the flavonol quercetin. How this unusual active‐site metal supports catalysis and O₂ activation is under debate. We present crystal structures of Ni‐quercetinase in three different states, thus providing direct insight into how quercetin and O₂ are activated at the Ni²⁺ ion. The Ni²⁺ ion is coordinated by three histidine residues and a glutamate residue (E⁷⁶) in all three states. Upon binding, quercetin replaces one water ligand at Ni and is stabilized by a short hydrogen bond through E⁷⁶, the carboxylate group of which rotates by 90°. This conformational change weakens the interaction between Ni and the remaining water ligand, thereby preparing a coordination site at Ni to bind O₂. O₂ binds side‐on to the Ni²⁺ ion and is perpendicular to the C2?C3 and C3?C4 bonds of quercetin, which are cleaved in the following reaction steps.     

Spectral analysis of Mn2+, Co2+ and Ni2+: B2O3-ZnO-PbO glasses

This paper reports on the spectral properties of Mn2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ ions doped B2O3-ZnO-PbO glasses. XRD, FT-IR spectra and DSC profiles of these glasses have also been carried out, and the FT-IR profiles have shown the presence of both BO3 and BO4 units. It is interesting to notice that the FT-IR peak positions are slightly shifted towards higher energy with an increase in transition metal ion concentration change. From the measured DSC thermograms, glass transition (T(g)), crystallization (T(c)) and temperature of melting (T(m)) have been evaluated. From the UV absorption spectra of Mn2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ ions doped glasses, both direct and indirect optical band gaps have been calculated. The visible absorption spectra of Mn2+:glasses have shown a broad absorption band at 520 nm (6A1g(S) --> 4T1g(G)); with Co2+ ions one absorption band at 605 nm (4A2(4F) --> 4T1(4P)) and another at 1450 nm (4A2(4F) --> 4T1(4F)); and for Ni2+:glasses three absorption bands at 420 nm (3A2g(F) --> 3T1g(P)), 805 nm (3A2g(F) --> 1Eg(D)) and 880 nm (3A2g(F) --> 3T1g(F)) have been observed. For Mn2+:glasses, upon excitation with 262 nm, a green emission (539 nm) with a slight blue shift; and with 392 nm, a green emission (534 nm) with a slight red shift with Mn2+ ions concentration change (0.2-0.5 mol%) has been observed. This green emission has been assigned to (4T1(G) --> 6A1(S)) d-d transition of Mn2+ ions that are in tetrahedral co-ordination. For 0.5 mol% Co2+ ions doped glass, upon excitation with 580 nm, a red emission (625 nm) has been observed which originates from 2E(2G) --> 4A2(4F) transition of Co2+ ions in tetrahedral co-ordination. For Ni2+ ions doped glasses upon excitation with 420 nm, a green (577 nm) and red (670 nm) emissions are observed and are assigned to (1T2g(D) --> 3A2g(F)) and (1T2g(D) --> 3T2g(F)) d-d transitions of Ni2+ ions in octahedral co-ordination.     

Ni~(2+)-PAA Adsorbent for Purifying 6His-OmpTS Recombinant Protein

One of the most versatile purification methods utilizing affinity tags containing six consecutive histidine residues (6 His) engineered into recombinant proteins, and Ni2+ ions immobilized on commercially available nitrilotriacetic acid-agarose (Agarose-NTA-Ni2+) were widely used as affinity matrix1-4. However, the preparation procedure of Agarose-NTA-Ni2+ is a cumbersome one5 and agarose is notoriously mildew, the cost of purification is quite expensive. Here we describe the application…     

Fast lithium ion diffusion in the ternary layered nitridometalate LiNiN

The structure, Li+ diffusion dynamics, and magnetic properties of the layered nitridonickelate(II), LiNiN, have been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, 7Li solid-state NMR, and SQUID magnetometry and compared and contrasted with those of the Li+ fast ion conductor, Li3N. The replacement of Li+ by Ni2+ with concomitant generation of Li+ vacancies has profound effects on ionic diffusion and electronic properties. The nitridonickelate, akin to its binary parent, displays rapid Li+ ion diffusion but, by contrast, the diffusion process is confined only to the Li-N planes. Further, replacement of Li by Ni leads to a transition from semiconducting to metallic behavior, likely mediated through the creation of infinite, 1D Ni-N chains of increased covalency.     

Metal-binding ability of human prion protein fragment peptides analyzed by column switch HPLC

The structural conversion of the prion protein (PrP) from the normal cellular isoform (PrP(C)) to the posttranslationally modified form (PrP(Sc)) is thought to relate to Cu2? binding to histidine (H) residues. Traditionally, the binding of metals to PrP has been investigated by monitoring the conformational conversion using circular dichroism (CD). In this study, the metal-binding ability of 21 synthetic peptides representing regions of human PrP(C) was investigated by column switch high-performance liquid chromatography (CS-HPLC). The CS-HPLC system is composed of a metal chelate affinity column and an octadecylsilica (ODS) reversed-phase column that together enable the identification of metal-binding regardless of conformational conversion. Synthetic peptides were designed with respect to the position of H residues as well as the secondary structure of human PrP (hPrP). The ability of the octapeptide (PHGGGWGQ)-repeating region (OP-repeat) to bind metals was analyzed by CS-HPLC and supported by CD analysis, and indicated that CS-HPLC is a reliable and useful method for measuring peptide metal-binding. Peptides from the middle region of hPrP showed a high affinity for Cu2?, but binding to Zn2?, Ni2?, and Co2? was dependent on peptide length. C-Terminal peptides had a lower affinity for Cu2?, Zn2?, Ni2?, and Co2? than OP-repeat region peptides. Interestingly, hPrP193-230, which contained no H residues, also bound to Cu2?, Zn2?, Ni2?, and Co2?, indicating that this region is a novel metal-binding site in the C-terminal region of PrP(C). The CS-HPLC method described in this study is useful and convenient for assessing metal-binding affinity and characterizing metal-binding peptides or proteins.     

Phenylalkylamines as calcium channel blockers

In this study we present ab initio Hartree Fock molecular orbital calculations with complete geometry optimizations on some phenylalkylamines (PAAs) that are clinically used as antiarrhythmic drugs. Pharmacophoric features of PAAs have been derived. An explanation of potency regulation in PAAs has been suggested based on ion capturing vs. ion holding by the drug. Ion capturing by the drug is always electrostatically highly favourable but has to be analysed in terms of conformational changes required and physiological accessibility of the situation. Our results also seem to offer an explanation for inhibitory effect of Ca²⁺ ion concentration on binding affinity of PAAs.
