胍变及脲变α-淀粉酶的研究 Ⅰ.用高效疏水色谱法研究变性机理和复性效率

用疏水性强弱不同的两种色谱柱对７．０ｍｏｌ／Ｌ盐酸胍及８．０ｍｏｌ／Ｌ脲变性的α－淀粉酶变体和在疏水色谱介质表面上折叠的中间体进行了分离和复性。通过研究和比较发现，两者的变性机理和形成折叠中间体的个数以及复性效率均不相同。在用疏水性较弱的疏水色谱柱对脲变α－淀粉酶的折叠中间体进行分离时，得到了疏水性接近连续的、数目很多的中间体。用疏水性较强的疏水色谱柱对胍变α－淀粉酶进行复性的效果较好。还研究了柱温变化对其折叠、分离效果和复性效率的影响。     

用高效疏水色谱法对多种脲变α—淀粉酶折叠中间体的研究

用高效疏水色谱法对用脲变性的α－淀粉酶的体外折叠中间体进行了分离，发现脲变α－淀粉酶折叠至少有１９个中间体，而且，这些中间体在色谱流出液中可稳定一周。这一结论已由电泳、离子交换色谱和体积排阻色谱法证实。此外，还用紫外吸收光谱和荧光发射光谱研究了这些折叠中间体与天然α－淀粉酶构象之间的差异。

固体表面特征对脲变α-糜蛋白酶折叠的贡献

以脲变α-糜蛋白酶(α-Chy)为模型蛋白, 用蛋白折叠液相色谱法研究了该蛋白在7种不同固体表面上的折叠及其在折叠过程中形成的中间体, 选用疏水相互作用色谱(HPHIC)固定相为吸附剂, 在动态条件下着重研究了疏水色谱固定相TSK和PEG-600表面对脲变α-Chy复性效率的贡献. 用基质辅助激光解吸附离子化飞行时间质谱对3.0 mol•L^－1脲变α-Chy, 在经 HPHIC柱复性并同时分离的收集组分进行确认后, 仅有一种稳定的脲变α-Chy折叠中间体. 发现PEG-600固定相表面较TSK固定相对α-Chy复性效果好. 证实了疏水性强度及固体表面配基的结构对蛋白折叠起着关键性的作用.     

用疏水色谱对还原型胍变性牛胰岛素的折叠特性研究

用疏水相互色谱(HPHIC)对还原胍变性牛胰岛素在疏水界面上的折叠与复性进行了研究.结果表明,采用普通流动相时,对还原胍变胰岛素的复性效果较差,而采用氧化型流动相可使其复性效率提高到66%,并用反相色谱(RPLC)、紫外吸收光谱、荧光光谱及MALDI-TOF对其复性效果进行了验证.同时与体积排阻色谱(SEC)和稀释法对还原胍变胰岛素的复性结果进行了比较.结果表明,SEC根本无法使还原胍变胰岛素复性,而稀释法的复性效率仅有2%.这进一步表明HPHIC是变性蛋白复性的有效工具,变性蛋白在疏水界面折叠过程中,蛋白质与固定相之间的疏水相互作用对蛋白折叠起着关键性的作用,是蛋白折叠的主要驱动力.     

HPHIC固定相对脲变α-糜蛋白酶复性的影响

依据计量置换保留理论所得到的参数lgI, 来测定不同构象态α-糜蛋白酶(α-Chy)在两种不同高效疏水相互作用色谱(HPHIC)固定相表面的折叠自由能, 发现脲变α-Chy在HPHIC固定相表面获取的折叠自由能比溶液中的高很多, 不同HPHIC固定相表面为脲变α-Chy提供不同的折叠自由能, 且都随变性剂脲浓度的增大而增大;通过对不同HPHIC色谱柱后复性α-Chy的比活测定, 还发现脲变α-Chy的复性效率与其从固定相表面的折叠自由能有关, 同一构象的α-Chy从固定相表面得到的折叠自由能越高越有利于其折叠成天然蛋白质.     

多方法组合分析脲诱导的淀粉液化芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶去折叠和重折叠过程的构象转化

以变性和非变性电泳、体积排阻色谱、内源荧光发射光谱、荧光相图、荧光猝灭以及活性测定等组合分析方法,研究了脲诱导的淀粉液化芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子的去折叠和重折叠过程。结果表明,在脲诱导的芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子的去折叠和重折叠过程中,芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子始终以单分子形式存在,不会形成分子间的聚集体或聚集体沉淀。当变性液或复性液中脲浓度约为4.0mol/L时,芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子的去折叠和重折叠过程中均出现一个部分折叠中间体,两个过程均符合"三态模型"。脲诱导的芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子重折叠过程的复性曲线几乎与芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子去折叠过程的残余活性率曲线重合。通过这些结果,并结合盐酸胍诱导的芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子的去折叠和重折叠过程,推断脲和盐酸胍诱导的芽孢杆菌α-淀粉酶分子的去折叠和重折叠过程分别是相互可逆的。     

体积排阻色谱法研究变性溶菌酶分子复性过程中集聚体的形成

在体积排阻色谱柱上研究了还原剂存在时脲和盐酸胍变性的3种溶菌酶溶液的复性和分离过程。当变性液中原始溶菌酶浓度大于10 g/L时,变性溶菌酶在体积排阻色谱柱上除了复性为与未变性溶菌酶出峰时间相同的复性态溶菌酶分子外,还形成了溶菌酶折叠中间体的二分子集聚体。这个结果得到了用稀释法复性时溶菌酶的蛋白电泳检测结果的支持。与稀释法复性相比较,用体积排阻色谱法复性时所形成的折叠中间体二分子集聚体的量要远远低于用稀释法所形成的集聚体的量。     

荧光相图法研究猪胰腺α-淀粉酶在脲和盐酸胍溶液中的去折叠过程

用荧光相图法分别研究了脲和盐酸胍诱导的猪胰腺α-淀粉酶的去折叠过程。实验结果表明,当脲作为变性剂时,无论变性体系中有无还原剂2-巯基乙醇存在,猪胰腺α-淀粉酶的去折叠过程均只出现一个部分折叠中间体,符合“三态模型”;当盐酸胍作为变性剂时,若变性体系中存在还原剂2-巯基乙醇,猪胰腺α-淀粉酶的去折叠过程符合“三态模型”,而若变性体系中不存在还原剂2-巯基乙醇,猪胰腺α-淀粉酶的去折叠过程会出现两个部分折叠中间态,此过程符合“四态模型”。     

高效疏水作用色谱法对还原变性溶菌酶的折叠研究

首次用高效疏水相互作用色谱(HPHIC)研究了还原变性溶菌酶(Lys)的复性。对还原变性Lys在3种疏水性不同的色谱柱上的复性情况进行了考察,发现还原变性Lys在疏水性最弱的XDM-GM1型色谱柱上的复性效率最高,当Lys质量浓度为2.0 g/L时,其复性效率可达到94.6%。     

还原变性核糖核酸酶在疏水性液-固界面上的复性

采用疏水相互作用色谱(HIC)对还原变性核糖核酸酶A (RNase A)在疏水性液-固界面上的复性进行了研究。详细讨论了流动相中脲的浓度、还原型谷胱甘肽/氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSH/GSSG)的比例、流动相pH和变性蛋白质浓度对还原变性RNase A复性效率和质量回收率的影响。结果表明,在最优化的复性条件(流动相中含有2.0 mol/L脲,GSH/GSSG的浓度比为8:1,流动相pH为8.0)下,还原变性RNase A能完全复性。当变性蛋白质质量浓度为5.0 mg/mL时,还原脲变性RNase A的活性回收率和质量回收率分别为98.0%和61.9%,还原胍变性RNase A分别为100.1%和66.8%。研究表明HIC是还原变性蛋白质复性的有力工具之一,可为蛋白质复性研究提供新方法和新思路。     

Studies on the refolding of the reduced-denatured insulin with size exclusion chromatography

The refolding of the reduced-denatured insulin from bovine pancreas was investigated with the size exclusion chromatography (SEC). It was shown that the reduced-denatured insulin originally denatured with 7.0 mol·L-1 guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCI) or 8.0 mol·L-1 urea could not be refolded with a non-oxidized mobile phase. Although the oxidized and reduced glutathione (GSSG and GSH) were employed in the oxidized mobile phase, the reduced-denatured insulin still could not be renatured. However, in the presence of 2.0 mol·L-1 urea in the oxidized mobile phase employed, the reduced-denatured insulin can be refolded with SEC, and the aggregation of denatured insulin can be diminished by urea. In addition, the disul-fide exchange of reduced-denatured insulin also can be accelerated with GSSG/GSH in the oxidized mobile phase. The three disulfide bridges of insulin were formed correctly and the reduced-unfolded insulin can be renatured completely. The results were further tested with re-versed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC).     

Refolding of urea‐denatured α‐chymotrypsin by protein‐folding liquid chromatography

An approach for re‐folding denatured proteins during proteome research by protein folding liquid chromatography (PFLC) is presented. Standard protein, α‐chymotrypsin (α‐Chy), was selected as a model protein and hydrophobic interaction chromatography was performed as a typical PFLC; the three different α‐Chy states – urea‐denatured (U state), its folded intermediates (M state) and nature state (N state) – were studied during protein folding. Based on the test by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and bioactivity, only one stable M state of the α‐Chy was identified and then it was prepared for further investigation. The specific bioactivity of the refolded α‐Chy was found to be higher than that of commercial α‐Chy as the urea concentration in the sample solution ranged from 1.0 to 3.0 m ; the highest specific bioactivity at urea concentration was 1.0 m , indicating the possibility for re‐folding some proteins that have partially or completely lost their bioactivity, as a dilute urea solution was employed for dissolving the sample. The experiment showed that the peak height of its M state increased with increasing urea concentration, and correspondingly decreased in the amount of the refolded α‐Chy. When the urea concentration reached 6.0 m , the unfolded α‐Chy could not be refolded at all. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

采用不同疏水相互作用色谱柱从包涵体中快速制备重组人干细胞因子

为了提高重组人干细胞因子(rhSCF)的复性效率,改进了高效疏水相互作用色谱(HPHIC)纯化和复性rhSCF的方法。首先将目标蛋白溶解于8.0 mol/L脲中,然后将rhSCF包涵体的提取液直接进样到不同规格的HPHIC柱进行纯化和复性。优化了固定相配基结构和流动相组成等实验条件,结果表明,本方法可以快速地获得高质量回收率和高生物活性的rhSCF,rhSCF在40 min内即可完成复性与纯化,目标蛋白的纯度在95.5%以上,质量回收率高于49.6%。通过体积排阻色谱和基质辅助激光解吸离子化飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF-MS)的分析,确认rhSCF以单体存在。结果进一步证明HPHIC法是同时复性和纯化重组蛋白的有效工具。     

Mechanism of simultaneously refolding and purification of proteins by hydrophobic interaction chromatographic unit and applications

The hydrophobic amino acid residues of a denatured protein molecule tend to react with the particles of the stationary phase of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (STHIC). These hydrophobic interactions prevent the denatured protein molecules from aggregating with each other. The STHIC can provide high enough energy to a denatured protein molecule to make it dehydration and to refold it into its native or various intermediate states. The outcome not only depends on the specific interactions between amino acids, the structure of STHIC, but also depends on the association between the STHIC and mobile phase. The mechanism of protein refolding and the principle of its quality control by HPHIC were also presented. By appropriate selection of the chromatographic condition, several denatured proteins can be refolded and separated simultaneously in a single chromatographic run. A specially designed unit, with diameter much larger than its length, was designed and employed for both laboratory and preparative     

高效疏水相互作用色谱法复性与同时纯化重组人Flt3配体的包涵体蛋白质

Flt3配体(FL)是一类具有促进早期造血功能的细胞因子,在促进造血细胞生长发育及造血动员方面具有重要的临床应用价值。为了用基因工程方法获得大量用于临床和研究的重组人FL(rhFL)蛋白质,本文对在大肠杆菌(E. coli)中表达得到的Flt3配体的包涵体进行回收、洗涤,溶解于8 mol/L脲后在高效疏水相互作用色谱(HPHIC)柱上进行rhFL包涵体的复性与同时纯化,并对其保留特征和复性规律进行了研究。结果表明,在连续进样、变性蛋白质质量浓度为8.51 g/L、固定相选用端基为PEG800、流动相添加4 mol/L脲、1.8 mmol/L 还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和0.3 mmol/L氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSH)、pH 7.0的优化条件下,复性与同时纯化rhFL包涵体的质量回收率为36.9%,纯度达94.5%以上。本文仅用一步HPHIC法成功地复性与同时纯化了rhFL蛋白质,为获得高活性的rhFL产品奠定了一定的工作基础。     

Preparation of a silica‐based high‐performance hydrophobic interaction chromatography stationary phase for protein separation and renaturation

In this work, based on the structural characteristics of bio‐membrane molecules, a novel type of high‐performance hydrophobic interaction chromatography stationary phase was prepared using cholesterol as a ligand. Investigating the separation performance of this stationary phase, the effect of pH and salt concentration of the mobile phase on the retention time, the absorption capacity, and the hydrophobic ability revealed that this stationary phase had a high loading capacity and moderate hydrophobic interactions compared with four different hydrophobic interaction chromatography stationary phase ligands. Five types of standard proteins could be baseline separated with a great selection for protein separation. When 3.0 M urea was added to the mobile phase, it could be refolded with simultaneous purification of denatured lysozyme by one‐step chromatography. The mass recovery of lysozyme reached 89.5%, and the active recovery was 96.8%. Compared with traditional hydrophobic interaction chromatography, this new stationary phase has a good hydrophobic ability and a significant refolding efficiency.     

盐酸胍对疏水色谱中蛋白质保留行为的影响

研究了变性剂酸胍对几种蛋白质在高效疏水色谱中保留行为的影响，用液相色谱中溶质的计量置换保留模型和测流动相表面张力及蛋白质紫外吸收光谱方法研究的结果表明：在低浓度范围内，盐酸胍主要以疏水作用影响蛋白质的保留；而在高浓度区域内，盐酸胍的存在则显著影响蛋白质分子的构象，使其保留行为发生变化。
