Embodiment 1
[0499] Example 1: Recombinant expression and purification of GLP-1 protein
[0500] The GLP-1 proteins listed in Table 1 were produced using a BL21(DE3) derived strain, produced by a bacterial E. coli expression system. DNA encoding the GLP-1 precursor was codon optimized for E. coli expression, synthesized de novo and subcloned into a PET-derived expression vector (Novagen). Amino acid substitutions are accomplished by modifying the corresponding genetic code. Overexpression of GLP-1 precursor was induced with 0.5 mM isopropyl β-d-thiogalactoside (IPTG) when the cell density reached an OD600 of 2.0 in Terrific broth (TB) medium. Cells were harvested after protein induction for 20-22 hours at 37°C. Cells were harvested and lysed by a cell crusher (900 bar, twice) in 20 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.15 M NaCl buffer. Soluble fractions containing GLP-1 protein were collected by centrifugation (8,000 xg, 30 min). After removal of the tag by protease, the protein was purified by reverse...
Embodiment 2
[0501] Example 2: Incorporation of non-protein amino acids into recombinant proteins
[0502] The N-terminal His-Aib-Glu-Gly tetrapeptide or His-Aib dipeptide was dissolved in an organic solvent and added to a solution of GLP-1 protein dissolved in an organic solvent. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Piperidine was then added to the reaction solution to remove the Fmoc protecting group.
Embodiment 3
[0503] Example 3: Preparation of GLP-1 Compounds with CRM
[0504] To the NaOH solution of GLP-1 protein was added dropwise a solution of CRM reagent (ie HOOC-(CH2)16-CO-gGlu-2XADO) in organic solvent. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Subsequently, the product was applied to reverse phase chromatography. This gave the compounds listed in Table 1 as shown above.
