The affinity ligand is constructed on the basis that the structure of NpuDnaE-N, namely, IN is transformed, wherein cysteine is additionally arranged at the C terminal of IN to be used for being covalently bonded with chromatography microspheres, mutated Cys1Ala is introduced into a first amino acid located at the N terminal of natural IN so as to avoid a fracture reaction of the N terminal, and His-tag is arranged at the N terminal of an IN segment to be used for purifying a ligand segment. Accordingly, construction is completed by depending on the fracture reaction of intein, and therefore not only is the cost reduced, but also contamination to target protein can be prevented; the fracture rate of 3h is still high in the presence of a reducing agent, and the constructed affinity purification medium has the good purification effect and the high repeated utilization rate.

Description

Affinity ligand, construction method, affinity chromatography medium, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of protein purification, and relates to a modified NpuDnaE-N-terminal splicing structural domain (I)N) The formed affinity ligand and a chromatography medium for protein affinity purification are constructed by covalently crosslinking the C end of the affinity ligand and chromatography microspheres. The target protein only needs to be constructed on the molecular level ICC terminal of (A) andCfusion expression by in vitro ICAnd INThe target protein can be purified by affinity binding and condition-induced fragmentation control.
Background
The application of the purification tag greatly simplifies the process of recombinant protein purification, and has immeasurable application value to modern biotechnology. However, the affinity purification tag introduced in the target protein must be removed by treatment with a proteolytic or chemical cleavage reagent. Therefore, in large-scale production, the problem of removing the purification tag restricts the wide application of the purification tag. To solve this problem, an intein-mediated spontaneous fragmentation purification tag without the use of proteases was invented.
Inteins are a segment of polypeptide chain in a precursor immature protein, and can be cut from the precursor protein through a series of autocatalytic reactions such as rearrangement, transesterification and cyclization, and the protein polypeptide chains at two ends (protein exteins) are connected through a natural peptide bond. The split intein is structurally N-terminal (I)N) And a C-terminal region (I)C) An intein isolated from each other. When I isNAnd ICAfter the two fragments are connected and the structure is restored, splicing of the two-end exteins can be completed according to a standard intein splicing approach. The splicing activity of the split intein is via INAnd ICThe two have strong mutual recognition capability, which is the basis of the application of intein in an affinity purification system.
In general, inteins spontaneously undergo N-/C-terminal cleavage in the presence of a reducing agent, cleaving the target protein at one end. Since this series of reactions can proceed spontaneously in vitro without the action of enzymes, purification of protein expression by cleavage of intein pathway can remove purification tags as well as purification efficiently.
Although the cleavage of inteins is certainly worthwhile in protein purification, there are some disadvantages in their use. First, INIs immobilized to the chromatographic microspheres by affinity adsorption between the purification tag and the medium upon a change in solution conditions(pH, temperature or reducing agent), the affinity tag is likely to fall off from the medium, and secondary pollution of the target protein is caused; in addition, there are problems with the rate of cleavage reaction of inteins and with the control of the rate of cleavage reaction. The cleavage reaction rate of some inteins is slow (more than 12 h), which prolongs the purification process and reduces the purification efficiency. However, effective inhibition of the cleavage reaction by rapidly cleaved inteins such as NpuDnaE is problematic, which may result in loss of the target protein during the process of washing away the foreign proteins, and thus, decrease in purification efficiency.
By study I, Zhilei Chen et alNAnd ICThe mode of interaction between them has found that steric hindrance between the target protein and the mediator may affect the cleavage activity of the cleaved intein. According to the principle of steric hindrance, the experimental studies of the present invention have found that the purification of the affinity ligand fragment INAnd ICThe location of the His-tag of the fusion expression fragment with the protein of interest also affects the rate of the cleavage reaction. For the cleavage intein-mediated affinity purification system, the key to improving the purification efficiency of the system is not only to increase the rate of the cleavage reaction, but also to inhibit the cleavage reaction during the loading and washing of the hetero-protein. It was found that Zn is present only when the first amino acid of NpuDnaE is Cys2+Can bind to a specific site in the intein NpuDnaE to inhibit the cleavage reaction. Therefore, the invention adds Zn in the stages of loading and washing the heteroprotein without mutating the first amino acid of the NpuDnaE2+Effectively inhibits the premature fracture, thereby improving the purification efficiency of the system.

After the elution of the target protein was completed, Buffer D (0.5M NaCl, 50mmol/L Na) was added as a regeneration Buffer2HPO4NaOH, pH 11.4) binding to the affinity mediaCThe fractions were eluted, washed with 20% ethanol and stored at 4 ℃.
Repeating the purification of the target protein several times according to the above procedure, test IN *The purification efficiency of the affinity chromatographic column is not obviously reduced when the number of times of recycling is more than 40 times.
Packing the affinity chromatography medium into a column; with a Zn content of 1mmol/L2+The PBS buffer solution is used for balancing; will contain the protein of interest ICLoading the crude fusion protein sample; with no Zn content2+Washing with PBS buffer solution; washing the chromatography medium with a fragmentation buffer solution containing 50mmol/L DTT, and standing at room temperature for 3 h; eluting the fractured target protein by using an elution buffer solution and collecting; i isN *Regenerating the affinity chromatographic column.
As can be seen, I is expressed by the present inventionN *The affinity chromatography filler prepared by the affinity ligand has the following advantages:
(1) compared with the traditional affinity chromatography, the invention does not need any protease to cut the target protein, and is completed by the cleavage reaction of the intein, thereby reducing the cost and preventing the pollution to the target protein.
(2) Compared with some existing fragmentation intein purification systems, the affinity ligand fragment I is used in the inventionNThe C-terminal of (a) is linked to the medium while moving the position of His-tag to INThe N terminal of (1). By lowering INAnd ICThe steric hindrance in the process of mutual recognition and combination improves the fracture activity, and the fracture rate of 3h in the presence of a reducing agent reaches 95%.
(3) Zn realized by the invention2+Effectively control the fracture reaction and improve the purification efficiency of the system. However, the absence of mutation in the first amino acid results in an N-terminal cleavage reaction that cannot be prevented, which in turn leads to a splicing reaction. The splicing reaction of the intein can make the N-terminal extein sequence connect with the C-terminal extein sequence, i.e. adding the I-site at the N-terminal of the target protein GFPNAdditional amino acid sequence at the N-terminus of the fragment. In practical application of constructing intein affinity purification systemNThe fragments are covalently linked to the medium as affinity ligands and are used repeatedly, so that the phenomenon of adding amino acids to the N-terminus of the target protein occurs mostly in the first purification. Since the Asp118 mutation makes the C-terminal cleavage reaction independent of the N-terminus, it is theorized that I is the site ofNAfter all the amino acids at the N-terminal are transferred to the N-terminal of the target protein, the target protein GFP without additional amino acids can be generated. The fragmentation combination is carried out in a practical affinity purification systemFor commercial application, the product may be purified once to remove INThe additional amino acid at the N-terminus can then be used as a normal purification medium.
(4) In addition, the invention changes the traditional immobilization of I through affinity binding between Tag and mediumNFragment, replacing Tag with Cys and fixing affinity ligand I by covalent cross-linking of Cys and chromatographic microsphereN *. Experiments prove that the single target protein band is obtained by analyzing the purification result of the novel affinity purification medium-mediated purification system through SDS-PAGE, and the purification efficiency is 50.9 percent by protein concentration determination and calculation. The purification efficiency of the affinity purification medium is not obviously reduced after the affinity purification medium is repeatedly used for 40 times, which shows that the affinity purification medium constructed by the invention has better purification effect and higher repeated utilization rate.
