Abstract: | The metal-binding site of a Helicobacter pylori ATPase 439 (heli(WT)-tag) was successfully used as a new fusion peptide for immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). It produced higher yields than the frequently used his6-tag. Due to stronger binding of the peptide to metal ions, harsher elution conditions were, however, necessary. This undesired side-effect was overcome by modifying the heli(WT)-tag by polymerase chain reaction-directed mutagenesis. The modified tags were screened by an automated high-throughput IMAC system, leading to a heliM14-tag peptide that could be eluted under conditions similar to those of the his6-tag but at the same time produced 20% higher yields of the desired protein. |
