A major cysteine proteinase (CPB) of Leishmania mexicana, that is predominantly expressed in the form of the parasite that causes disease in mammals, has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified from inclusion bodies to apparent homogeneity. The CPB enzyme, CPB2.8, was expressed as an inactive pro-form lacking the characteristic C-terminal extension (CPB2.8∆CTE). Pro-region processing was initiated during protein refolding and proceeded through several intermediate stages. Maximum enzyme activity accompanied removal of the entire pro-region. This was facilitated by acidification. Purified mature enzyme gave a single band on SDS/PAGE and gelatin SDS/PAGE gels, co-migrated with native enzyme in L. mexicana lysates, and had the same N-terminal sequence as the native enzyme. The procedure yielded > 3.5 mg of active enzyme per litre of E. coli culture.

In order to obtain large quantities of broadly selective receptor as one diagnose agent to detect amantadine residue, the M2 protein gene with a His-tag was ligated into pET11a and transferred into E. coli BL21 (DE3) cell. The recombinant E. coli was cultured in liquid LB culture. SDS-PAGE result showed the recombinant M2 protein (rM2) was expressed as insoluble inclusion bodies with about 18KDa in molecular size. rM2 protein was further recognized by Western blot and purified by Ni Sepharose 6 Fast Flow and then refolded. The equilibrium dialysis result showed the rM2 protein had the binding constant of 1.1×105, and stoichiometry of 4.2. The above result showed the rM2 has the potential as biological diagnose agent to the detection of amantadine residue.

First Time

N-Acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) is the first committed intermediate in sialic acid metabolism. Thus, the mechanisms that control intracellular ManNAc levels are important regulators of sialic acid production. In prokaryotic organisms, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) 2-epimerase and GlcNAc-6-P 2-epimerase are two enzymes capable of generating ManNAc from UDP-GlcNAc and GlcNAc-6-P, respectively. We have purified for the first time native GlcNAc-6-P 2-epimerase from bacterial source to apparent homogeneity (1 200 fold) using Butyl-agarose, DEAE-FPLC and Mannose-6-P-agarose chromatography. By SDS/PAGE the pure enzyme showed a molecular mass of 38.4 +/- 0.2 kDa. The maximum activity was achieved at pH 7.8 and 37 degrees C. Under these conditions, the K(m) calculated for GlcNAc-6-P was 1.5 mM. The 2-epimerase activity was activated by Na(+) and inhibited by mannose-6-P but not mannose-1-P. Genetic analysis revealed high homology with bacterial isomerases. GlcNAc-6-P 2-epimerase from E. coli K92 is a ManNAc-inducible protein and is detected from the early logarithmic phase of growth. Our results indicate that, unlike UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, which promotes the biosynthesis of sialic acid, GlcNAc-6-P 2-epimerase plays a catabolic role. When E. coli grows using ManNAc as a carbon source, this enzyme converts the intracellular ManNAc-6-P generated into GlcNAc-6-P, diverting the metabolic flux of ManNAc to GlcNAc.

Stimulating Factor

Background: The recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor con-jugated with polyethylene glycol (PEGylated GCSF) has currently been used as an efficient drug for the treatment of neutropenia caused by chemotherapy due to its long circulating half-life. Previous studies showed that Granulocyte Colony Stimula-ting Factor (GCSF) could be expressed as non-classical Inclusion Bodies (ncIBs), which contained likely correctly folded GCSF inside at low temperature. Therefore, in this study, a simple process was developed to produce PEGylated GCSF from ncIBs. Methods: BL21 (DE3)/pET-GCSF cells were cultured in the LiFlus GX 1.5 L bioreactor and the expression of GCSF was induced by adding 0.5 mM IPTG. After 24 hr of fermentation, cells were collected, resuspended, and disrupted. The insoluble fraction was obtained from cell lysates and dissolved in 0.1% N-lauroylsarcosine solution. The presence and structure of dissolved GCSF were verified using SDS-PAGE, Native-PAGE, and RP-HPLC analyses. The dissolved GCSF was directly used for the con-jugation with 5 kDa PEG. The PEGylated GCSF was purified using two purification steps, including anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. Results: PEGylated GCSF was obtained with high purity (~97%) and was finally demonstrated as a form containing one GCSF molecule and one 5 kDa PEG molecule (monoPEG-GCSF). Conclusion: These results clearly indicate that the process developed in this study might be a potential and practical approach to produce PEGylated GCSF from ncIBs expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Adhesive Factor

The mannose-resistant hemagglutinating factor (HAF) was extracted and purified from a diffuse adherent Escherichia coli (DAEC) strain belonging to the classic enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) serotype (0128). The molecular weight of HAF was estimated to be 18 KDa by SDS-PAGE and 66 KDa by Sephadex G100, suggesting that the native form of HAF consists of 3-4 monomeric HAF. Gold immunolabeling with specific HAF antiserum revealed that the HAF is not a rigid structure like fimbriae on the bacterial surface. The immunofluorescence test using purified HAF on HeLa cells, in addition to the fact that the HAF is distributed among serotypes of EPEC, suggests that HAF is a possible adhesive factor of DAEC strains

Two major classes of protease are shown to occur in germinating winged-bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) seeds, by assaying extracts at pH 8.0 and pH 5.1 with [14C]gelatin as substrate. At pH 8.0, the activity profile of the enzyme shows a steady rise throughout the period of germination, whereas the activity at the acidic pH is very low up to day 5 and then increases sharply reaching a peak on day 11, followed by an equally sharp decline. The winged-bean acidic protease (WbAP) has been purified to apparent homogeneity, as attested by a single protein band on both PAGE and SDS/PAGE. WbAP is a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 35 kDa and a pH optimum of 6.0. It is a thiol protease that does not belong to the papain family and it has tightly bound Ca2+ as shown by 45Ca2+-exchange studies. Besides gelatin and casein, it hydrolyses a 29 kDa winged-bean protein, indicating a prospective physiological role for it in storage-protein mobilization. Immunoblot analysis shows that it occurs only in the seeds and sprouting tubers of this plant and also that it is synthesized in developing seeds just before desiccation. It appears that the newly synthesized enzyme is inactive, and activation takes place around day 6 of germination. However, neither the mechanism of activation nor the signal that triggers it is clearly understood.

Summary 6-Pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase is involved in the synthesis of pteridine eye pigments in Drosophila. The purple gene which was known to be one of the target loci of the suppressor mutation su(sj2 has been identified to encode the enzyme, and its cDNA has been cloned recently. The cDNA encoding the 19.3 kDa subunit of the 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase was expressed as fusion proteins in E. coli. The recombinant protein was shown to be active and purified from the E. coli crude extract by metal-chelation chromatography. The fused metal-chelating oilgopeptide was removed by thrombin for further characterization. Apparent Km for the substrate dihydroneopterin triphosphate was determined to be 590 IlM, which was slightly higher than the value of the native enzyme. The isoelectric point of 6.4 was also different from the known value of 4.3 determined by the native enzyme. Heat stability and the stimulatory effect of reducing agents were similar to the native enzyme. The modification of cysteine residues in the recombinant enzyme, one of which is known to be conserved in human and rat enzymes, by iodoacetamide inhibited its activity by up to 80%.

Soluble Trail

Abstract As a potential anti-tumor protein, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has drawn considerable attention. This report presented the purification and characterization of soluble TRAIL, expressed as inclusion bodies in E. coli. sTRAIL inclusion bodies were solubilized and refolded at a high concentration up to 0.9 g/L by a simple dilution method. Refolded protein was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a single-step immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The purified sTRAIL had a strong cytotoxic activity against human pancreatic tumor cell line 1990, with ED50 about 1.5 mg/L. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectrum analysis showed that the refolded sTRAIL had a structure similar to that of native protein with β-sheet secondary structure. This efficient procedure of sTRAIL renaturation may be useful for the mass production of this therapeutically important protein.
