Embodiment 1

[0079] Example 1 Class analysis of different glycosylation variants contained in hCG

[0080] Sample processing: hCG protein is a commercially available product produced by Merk Serono (Switzerland) (imported drug registration number: S20130091). Concentrate the hCG protein to 1 mg / ml and divide it into two groups. Group 1 (non-reduced) is directly injected for the following (RP-HPLC method, SDS-PAGE method, CE-SDS method) detection; Group 2 (reduced) is added with 5 % β-mercaptoethanol, heated in a water bath at 70°C for 10 minutes, and then injected for the following detection.

[0081] Subunit preparation: large-volume injection of reduced and non-reduced samples, and post-column collection of the peaks of each component of the sample, and then the collected fractions were centrifuged and concentrated under reduced pressure for 3 hours, and finally used a molecular weight cut-off of 3KD The ultrafiltration tube is concentrated, and the replacement solvent is water.

[0128] Example 2 Preparation method of hCG β1 subunit

[0129] The hCG β1 subunit can be prepared by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE. The source of the hCG protein sample is the same as in Example 1.

[0130] RP-HPLC preparation hCG β1 subunit, the method is as follows:

[0131] The hCG sample was concentrated to 1-2 mg / mL, added 5% β-mercaptoethanol, heated in a water bath at 70°C for 10 minutes and cooled to room temperature, and injected into RP-HPLC. The RP-HPLC chromatographic conditions can adopt the conditions of Example 1. details as follows:

[0132] Chromatographic column: C18 bonded phase, 5μm, 4.6×250mm;

[0133] Mobile phase: A. Water + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid + 0.01% heptafluorobutyric acid; B. Acetonitrile + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid + 0.01% heptafluorobutyric acid;

[0143] Example 3 Determination of β1 content (or β1:β2 ratio) by CE-SDS method

[0144] Through the analysis of hCG molecules in Example 1, the (reduction) CE-SDS method can be used to measure the content of hCG β1 or the ratio of β1:β2. This method can be carried out by using the CE-SDS method in Example 1. details as follows:

[0145] Sample preparation: hCG samples were concentrated to 1-2 mg / mL, added with 5% β-mercaptoethanol, heated in a water bath at 70°C for 10 minutes and cooled to room temperature.

[0146] Instrument initial settings: set the capillary temperature to 20°C, and the sample tray temperature to 10°C. The PDA wavelength is 220nm and the bandwidth is 10nm.

[0147]Capillary balance: Before the instrument is tested every day, the balance of the capillary and gel solution is required. The settings are as follows in turn, use alkali washing solution to rinse at 20psi for 10min, pickling solution at 20psi for 5min, ultrapure water at 20psi for 2min, SD...

Abstract

The invention discloses a glycosylated variant hCG beta 1 of a human chorionic gonadotropin hCG beta subunit. An amino acid sequence of the hCG beta subunit is shown as SEQ ID No:1, the glycosylated variant hCG beta 1 produces glycosylation at a locus N30 of the hCG beta subunit and does not produce glycosylation at a locus N13. The invention further discloses human chorionic gonadotropin hCG including a specific amount of glycosylated variant hCG beta 1.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the glycosylation modification of human chorionic gonadotropin hCG beta subunit. Specifically, the present invention relates to the glycosylation modification of hCG β subunit, the obtained new glycosylation variants, and their effects on the biological activity of hCG. Background technique [0002] Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is composed of α subunit and β subunit through non-covalent dimerization, wherein the molecular weights of α subunit and β subunit are 10.2kD and 15.5kD, respectively. hCG is a highly complex protein molecule. Diversified post-translational modifications, such as methionine oxidation, N-terminal truncation, sialylation, glycosylation, etc., are the main reasons for the heterogeneity of hCG molecules. Among them, the oxidation of methionine can lead to changes in the molecular spatial structure, and the variants produced by the oxidation of key sites will affect the activity; N-terminal tru...
