Embodiment 1

[0155] The purification process of ST6GalNAcI was started with a capture chromatography step using an anion exchange column. Subsequent purification steps include affinity chromatography, mixed mode chromatography, ultrafiltration / diafiltration, cation exchange chromatography and Final nanofiltration of membranes. Chromatographic steps are performed using a gradient chromatography system and run automatically. UV absorbance, conductivity, pH, flow rate and back pressure were recorded at each chromatography step using appropriate software.

[0156] The column types and resins used are shown in Table 1:

[0157]

[0158] First column: Anion exchange chromatography (Q-Sepharose FF)

[0159] Anion exchange chromatography with Q-Sepharose Fast Flow resin was used as the first chromatography step to capture ST6GalNAcI in the harvest and for volume reduction.

[0160] ST6GalNAcI was eluted by applying a salt step of 800 mM NaCl in 20 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.6. The eluate was collec...

Embodiment 2

[0181] First column: Anion exchange chromatography (Q-Sepharose FF)

[0182] This process step was used to capture cST6 from a clarified, sterile filtered bioreactor harvest by anion exchange chromatography. 1000 mL of supernatant from the bioreactor was diluted 1:3 in buffer A (20 mM Tris pH 7.6) and loaded onto an omni25 / 150Q Sepharose FF column. cST6 (0-1 M, 20 CV) was eluted by a linear NaCl gradient (0-1 M, 20 CV).

[0183] Second column: Affinity chromatography (CDP affinity matrix)

[0184] This affinity chromatography process step is an intermediate step that is important to increase the purity of cST6. The pool of fractions 9-11 from the Q Sepharose capture step was diluted 1:3 in buffer A (10 mM MES pH 6.8, 25% glycerol) and loaded onto an XK 10 / 55 CDP affinity column. To avoid excessive loading of the CDP column, the load was applied in two identical CDP runs. cST6 (0-1 M, 20 CV) was eluted by a linear NaCl gradient (0-1 M, 10 CV).

[0185] Third column: Anion ...

Embodiment 3

[0188] First column: Anion exchange chromatography (Q-Sepharose FF)

[0189] Anion exchange chromatography with Q-Sepharose Fast Flow resin was used as the first chromatography step to capture ST6GalNAcI in the harvest and for volume reduction. 300 mL of clarified and sterile filtered supernatant from the fed-batch culture bioreactor was purified.

[0190] Chromatographic conditions are summarized in Table 6:

[0191]

[0192] Second column: Intermediate Affinity Chromatography (Blue Sepharose 6FF)

[0193] This affinity chromatography step is an intermediate step that is important to increase the cST6 purity. The eluate of the capture chromatography step (29 mL) was diluted and purified by a Blue Sepharose chromatography step.

[0194] Chromatographic conditions are summarized in Table 7:

[0195] column

Omnifit10, bed height = 7.0cm, CV = 5.5mL

equilibration buffer A

25mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH7.5, 50mM NaCl

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the production and purification of a sialyltransferase polypeptide, in particular a N-Acetylgalactosamine (Gal NAc)-a-2,6-sialyltransferase I (ST6GalNAcI) polypeptide. The method comprises the steps of producing the sialyltransferase polypeptide in a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell and purifying the polypeptide with a combination of chromatography steps. The method results in high yield of sialyltransferase polypeptide which is highly pure and active. The obtained sialyltransferase, especially ST6GalNAcI, can be employed for the glycosylation of therapeutic proteins such as G-CSF.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods for producing and purifying sialyltransferase polypeptides, particularly N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-α-2,6 sialyltransferase I (ST6GalNAcI) polypeptides. The method comprises the steps of producing the sialyltransferase polypeptide in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells and purifying the polypeptide using a combination of chromatographic steps. The method results in high yields of highly pure and enzymatically active sialyltransferase polypeptides. The obtained sialyltransferases, especially ST6GalNAcI, can be used for the glycosylation of therapeutic proteins such as G-CSF. Background of the invention [0002] A variety of oligosaccharide structures and many types of glycopeptides exist in nature, which are synthesized in part by a large number of glycosyltransferases. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the synthesis of glycolipids, glycopeptides, and polysaccharides by transferring activated mono- or oligosac...
