Large-scale recovery and purification ofl-asparaginase fromErwinia carotovora

A large-scale process was developed to purify gram quantities of a therapeutic enzyme,L-asparaginase, from submerged cultures ofErwinia carotovora. Cells were harvested from 150 L of fermentation broth and washed. A cellular acetone powder was prepared and extracted with pH 9.5 borate buffer. After continuous centrifugation and filtration to remove cell debris, the acetone powder extract was adjusted to pH 7.7 and adsorbed onto a 16-L CM-Sepharose Fast Flow column, with a precolumn packed with Cell Debris Remover. The enzyme was desorbed from the catin-exchange column at pH 9.0 and further purified with an affinity column ofl-asparagine Sepharose CL-4B. After dialysis-concentration to remove buffer salt, the enzyme was depyrogenated, formulated, sterile filled, and lyophilized as a single-dose final product. the final-product evaluation included analysis of the content of protein, sodium chloride, glycine, sodium, glucose hydrate, phosphate, and endotoxin, as well as reconstitution, potency, pH, specific activity, uniformity of fill, and sterility. The product was further subjected to visual examination, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, native gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, amino acid analysis,N-terminal sequencing, peptide mapping, and immunological comparison.     

两步柱色谱法分离纯化重组猪β2-肾上腺素能受体

β2-肾上腺素能受体是细胞表面受体的一种,它能通过偶联异源三聚体G蛋白将信号转导引入到细胞内部。本实验在成功克隆、表达β2-肾上腺素能受体的基础上,建立了一种两步柱色谱分离纯化目的蛋白质的方法。首先利用Ni2+螯合的高分辨纯化的预带电荷介质Sepharose High Performance与含有六聚组氨酸标签的蛋白质特异结合的性质,对目的蛋白质进行初步分离,接着运用快流速Q琼脂糖凝胶(Quaternary Sepharose Fast Flow)对其进行进一步的分离纯化。采用该方法得到的β2-肾上腺素能受体蛋白质经十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)和高效凝胶排阻色谱检测其纯度约为95%。结果表明该方法可以对重组猪β2-肾上腺素能受体进行有效的分离纯化。     

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography for the separation of photosystems I and II from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) of solubilized, photosystem II (PS II) enriched particles from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus was studied. A chelating Sepharose Fast Flow column was charged with various metal ions (Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Co2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+) and their affinity to photosystem I (PS I) and PS II was examined. Among all the metal ions tested, only copper was able to bind the two protein complexes. For elution of the column, a pH gradient, a pH step gradient and gradients of imidazole, amino acids, organic acids and various other eluents were tested; only the pH step gradient, which selectively eluted PS II at a pH between 6 and 5, was useful for the separation of PS I and PS II. All other gradients proved to be inappropriate for the separation of these two photosystems. Mechanisms of protein elution by these compounds are discussed. Alternatively, a separation of PS I and PS II at pH 7.5 could be achieved when an IMAC column was used on which the free coordination positions of the bound copper ions were occupied by imidazole. When solubilized photosystems were loaded on to this column, PS I replaced imidazole and remained bound on the column, whereas PS II was highly enriched in the effluent.     

Preparation of immunoaffinity mini-columns for the analysis of platelet activating factor (PAF) in biological samples.

Using an antibody to BN 52719, an analogue of platelet activating factor (PAF), immunoaffinity mini-columns for the separation of PAF from biological samples were prepared. Rabbits were immunized with BN 52719 and immunoglobulin G (IgG) from the antiserum was coupled with Sepharose 4B. The resulting suspension of the IgG-coated Sepharose 4B in 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.9) was poured into a plastic mini-column (bed volume 2.0 x 0.8 cm). Stepwise elution of the column with methanol revealed that lyso-PAF is eluted with 20-30% methanol in water whereas PAF is eluted with 50-80% methanol. For the determination of PAF in biological samples, it is recommended that lipids are extracted from the samples and the extract, reconstituted in 20% methanol, is loaded on the column. The column is then washed with 50% methanol followed by elution of PAF with 80% methanol. A small amount of [3H]PAF is added to the samples for measurement of the recoveries of PAF during the procedures of extraction and elution. The PAF is then quantified by radioimmunoassay or bioassay. Employing the immunoaffinity mini-column and radioimmunoassay, the contents of PAF in macrophages and conditioned medium after stimulation with calcium ionophore A23187, or tumor promoters such as TPA and thapsigargin, were measured.     

Evaluation of an immunoaffinity extraction column for enrichment of adducts between human serum albumin and hexahydrophthalic anhydride in plasma

An immunoaffinity extraction (IAE) column was prepared for extraction of adducts between human serum albumin (HSA) and hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA). HHPA is a strong sensitizer inducing immunoglobulin E antibodies in vivo. Polyclonal antibodies from a rabbit immunized with keyhole limpet hemocyananin-HHPA conjugate were purified using a Protein A Sepharose gel. To obtain antibodies with optimal affinity towards HHPA-protein adducts, HHPA-specific antibodies were selected using an N-hydroxysuccinimide-Sepharose column coupled with albumin-HHPA conjugate. Antibodies eluted from this column at pH 2.2 were selected to prepare the IAE column. The column was evaluated using 2 mL plasma spiked with HSA-HHPA conjugate. The column was eluted with glycine buffer at pH 2.0. The conjugates in the eluate were hydrolyzed to the corresponding HHP acid and quantified by mass spectrometry. The average recovery of HHPA adducts in 11 experiments was 68% with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 7%. The column's capacity to bind protein-HHPA adducts was found to be linear in the range of 0.15-1.2 nmol conjugate. The evaluation showed that the IAE column had adequate affinity towards the HHPA adducts and that the adducts could be extracted with good recovery and precision from a large volume of plasma.

Affinity Chromatography of Mushroom Tyrosinase

Abstract

The purification by column chromatography of a phenol-oxidizing enzyme, mushroom tyrosinase, was investigated using solid phase adsorbents designed to have specific affinity for the enzyme. Sepharose 4B, aminophenyl-bearing porous glass, and p-aminobenzylcellulose were chemically modified to introduce phenolic, catecholic, or benzoic groups on the polymer surface. The resulting preparations were tested for their effectiveness in separating tyrosinase from an impure protein mixture. The phenolic and benzoic polymers displayed no specific affinity for tyrosinase. Aminophenyl glass, with or without an attached phenolic group, adsorbed appreciable quantities of protein nonspecif-ically, thus complicating studies of its tyrosinase affinity properties. Dopamine, a dihydroxyphenyl derivative, was bound to Sepharose and was found to be effective in retaining tyrosinase at pH 5.5; elution of the enzyme by washing at pH 8.8 resulted in its purification by a factor of 10 to 14. Enzymatic oxidation of the adsorbent limited the number of purification cycles which could be carried out on a single column.

Post-column derivatization capillary electrochromatography for detection of biogenic amines in tuna-meat

A system to perform post-column derivatization capillary electrochromatography (CEC) was developed for the first time. The system mainly included a 4-microm (O.D.) silica packed column (200 mm effective length x 0.1 mm inner diameter I.D.) with micro-magnetic particles (MMPs) frits, a T-junction connector, an in-line fluorescence detector and a high-voltage power supply. The system was evaluated by using histamine (HA) as a standard biogenic amine for this study. A 5 microM HA solution was loaded at the anodic site of the capillary column by applying 3 kV for 5s. Then, HA was electrophoretically eluted with a 20mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) by applying 3 kV, and was derivatized with 3mM o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)/N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in 100 mM borate (pH 10), which was continuously delivered through the reagent-loading capillary tube by gravity into the T-junction connector. HA derivative was finally detected with the in-line fluorescence detector (lambda(Ex)=340 nm, lambda(Em)=450 nm) at 9.7 min after sample loading. To test the utility of this system, it was next employed for its ability to detect the presence of HA and other kinds of biogenic amines, including cadaverine (Cad), spermidine (Spm) and tyramine (Tyr) in tuna-meat, once the validity of the method had been confirmed.     

Production, Purification, and Biochemical Characterization of a Fibrinolytic Enzyme from Thermophilic Streptomyces sp. MCMB-379

Production of the fibrinolytic enzyme was carried out using 2.5-L glass fermentor, culture of thermophilic Streptomyces sp., and glucose yeast extract peptone medium of pH 8.0. Five successive batches were carried out under controlled fermentation conditions viz., agitation 140 rpm, aeration 0.5 vvm, 55 °C, and 18 h. The total protein extracellularly produced in the cell-free broth was ~300-500 mg/L. The enzyme belongs to serine endopeptidase type. Studies on the fibrin degradation indicate that the enzyme degrades the fibrin into small molecular weight products as seen from HPLC profile. Phase-contrast microscopic structure of fibrin showed that enzyme cleaves the fibrin filaments. The ex vivo activity of the actinokinase was compared with 500 IU of urokinase and 350 IU of streptokinase. The ex vivo clot lysis was found to be faster as compared to the commercial available enzymes.

On-line purification of His-tag enhanced green fluorescent protein taken directly from a bioreactor by continuous ultrasonic homogenization coupled with immobilized metal affinity expanded bed adsorption

Protein refolding at high concentrations always leads to aggregation, which limits commercial application. An ion-exchange chromatography process with gradient changes in urea concentration and pH was developed to refold denatured lysozyme at high concentration. After adsorption of the denatured protein onto an ion-exchange medium, elution was carried out in combination with a gentle decrease in urea concentration and elevation of pH. Protein would gradually refold along the column with high activity yield. Denatured and reduced lysozyme at 40 mg/ml was loaded into a column filled with SP Sepharose Fast Flow, resulting in 95% activity recovery and 98% mass yield within a short period of time.

Expression of a Hybrid Human Superoxide Dismutase with a High Affinity for Heparin

IntroductionCopper,zinc- superoxide dismutases(SODs;EC.1.15 .1.1) are essential plasmic enzymes which cat-alyze the dismutation of highly reactive superoxideradical anions to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen so thatthe generation and clearance of oxygen free radicalsare regulated[1— 3 ] . The studies show that oxygen freeradicals play important roles in aging and the regula-tion of nitrogen monoxide[4,5] .The failure of the prop-er regulation will lead to inflammation,ischemicreperfusion injury…     

PHOTOSENSITIVE PHENOMENA OF NITRILE HYDRATASE OF Rhodococcus sp. N-771

Abstract— When the washed cells of Rhodococcus sp. N-771 were incubated at 5°C in the dark under aerobic condition, their nitrile hydratase was inactivated after several days. Most of this activity was recovered by light irradiation. The speed of inactivation in the dark was affected by incubation temperature and amount of oxygen supply. Under anerobic conditions, however, this reversible dark inactivation was not observed; the photoirradiation of the cells irreversibly inactivated the initial cell activity by about 15%. The enzyme activity of the cell-free extract of the inactivated cells can also be recovered when photoirradiated. This process did not require oxygen, and was not prevented by dialysis. However, the enzyme of the cell-free extract could not be inactivated by dark, aerobic incubation nor by photoirradiation after dark anaerobic incubation.     

Detection of Sulfamethazine Residues in Milk by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A simple high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure for the detection of sulfamethazine residues in milk is described. Milk is extracted with chloroform, the extract evaporated to dryness and then redissolved in potassium phosphate buffer (pH 5.0). The chloroform extract, in buffer, is passed through a cyclobond I solid phase extraction (SPE) column. The SPE column is washed with 10 ml potassium phosphate buffer and then sulfamethazine is eluted with 2 ml aqueous (50%) methanol. The eluent is directly analyzed by HPLC with uv detection at 265 nm. The recoveries ranged from 83.2% to 88.2% in samples fortified between 5 to 40 ppb levels.     

Chromatography of beta-glucuronidase from bovine liver. A study of the enzyme binding sites of prepared adsorbents.

beta-Glucuronidase from bovine liver was adsorbed to the adsorbents prepared with CH-Sepharose 4B and either the competitive inhibitor or its analogs such as p-aminophenyl 1-thio-beta-D-glucuronic acid, -glucoside, -galactoside, and N-acetyl glucosaminide. The adsorbed enzyme was eluted at 0.1 or 0.5 M NaCl by a stepwise gradient. Chromatography of the enzyme was also performed by using the adsorbents prepared with Epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B and amine compounds or other compounds. In order to see whether the hydroxyl groups of the sugar parts in the ligand are necessary for the adsorption of the enzyme, chromatography was performed by using the adsorbents prepared with sugar derivatives as the ligand. As a result, it was found that beta-glucuronidase had an affinity for adsorbents prepared with either acetyl derivatives or methoxy derivatives of glycosides and CH-Sepharose 4B. From the results of elution of the enzyme with NaCl from adsorbents having amide bonding, it was clarified that the affinity of the enzyme for adsorbents without glycosides in the ligands correlated with acidity of the amide in the adsorbents. Hydrogen bond chromatography was performed with the prepared adsorbents. The enzyme was adsorbed under a high concentration of ammonium sulfate, and the elution of the adsorbed enzyme from adsorbents was examined by the degradation of salt. The enzyme was most easily eluted from aminoethyl 1-thio-beta-D-glucuronic acid-CH Sepharose 4B at 0.9 M ammonium sulfate and at 0.5 M concentration of the salt with p-aminophenyl 1-thio-beta-D-glucuronic acid-CH Sepharose 4B.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
