AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This method achieves a significant increase in the purity of histidine-tagged proteins, with purification efficiencies ranging from 1-fold to 100-fold, reducing hemoglobin contamination to less than 5% and enabling high-throughput purification of proteins from hemoglobin-containing materials.

Problems solved by technology

It is therefore difficult to separate his-tagged proteins from material containing heme proteins to obtain a preparation of his-tagged proteins of acceptable purity without a significant amount of contaminating heme proteins.
However, because reticulocyte lysate includes large concentrations of hemoglobin, and because of the difficulties associated with separating hemoglobin from his-tagged proteins, reticulocyte lysate expression systems have not been fully exploited for expressing his-tagged proteins.

Preparation of Zinc- or Cobalt-charged Nitrilotriacetic Acid-modified Magnetic Silica Particles

[0039] Siliceous oxide-coated magnetic particles were modified with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) to produce 3-[[[bis(carboxymethyl)amino]acetyl]amino]-propyl magnetic silica particles (NTA-modified magnetic silica particles), as described in U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 689,176, filed Oct. 20, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0040] Zinc-charged particles were prepared as follows. Particles in a 4-ml aliquot of NTA-modified particles (10% w / v in water) were separated from the liquid using magnetization and the liquid discarded. The particles were contacted with 4 ml of ZnCl (100 mM) and rocked on a horizontal shaker (5-10 rpm) for 15 minutes. The particles were separated from the liquid using magnetization and the liquid discarded. The particles were contacted with a fresh 4-ml aliqout of ZnCl (100 mM), rocked on a horizontal shaker (5-10 rpm) for 15 minutes, and t...

Expression of His-tagged Proteins in Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate Using Coupled Transcription / translation

[0042] An expression vector encoding his-tagged Renilla luciferase was expressed using TNT® T7 Quick Coupled Transcription / Translation System, Cat# L1170TNT (Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Purification of His-tagged Proteins from Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate

[0043] His-tagged Renilla luciferase, prepared as described in Example 2, was purified from the coupled transcription / translation reaction mixture as follows. A 50-μl aliquot of the reaction mixture was combined with 150-μl binding buffer A (sodium phosphate buffer 100 mM, imidazole 20 mM, and NaCl 400 mM) buffered at a pH in the range of 6.0 to 8.0, and combined with 30 μl (3 mg) of zinc charged particles, prepared as described in Example, for 15-15 minutes at room temperature. The particles were separated from the solution (“flowthrough solution”) using magnetization, and the particles were washed with 200 μl binding buffer three to five times. Proteins were eluted by thoroughly mixing the particles with 100 μl elution buffer (HEPES 100 mM (pH 7.5) and imidazole 500 mM), separating the particles from the elution buffer by magnetization, and collecting the eluted proteins.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 502,544, filed Sep. 12, 2003, that application being incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. INTRODUCTION [0003] Histidine-tagged proteins are recombinant proteins designed to include a polyhistidine tail (his-tag) that facilitates purification of the proteins from in vitro expression systems. The preferential binding of the his-tag to metal chelating resins has been exploited in purifying his-tagged proteins from undesired contaminating proteins using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Metal chelating resins typically include a transition metal such as Ni or Co. [0004] Like his-tagged proteins, heme proteins (e.g., hemoglobin or myoglobin) bind to metal chelating resins. When both his-tagged proteins and heme proteins are applied to a metal ch...
