Description

Method for purifying polypeptide containing cysteine
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for purifying polypeptide, in particular to a method for purifying polypeptide containing cysteine.
Background
By chemical synthesis, one can not only insert unnatural amino acids other than the 20 natural amino acids into any position of the sequence, but also achieve posttranslational modification of the protein at a specific site. In the disulfide bond modification of polypeptide, the synthesis of a pair of disulfide bonds in molecules or between molecules is generally easier, the reaction conditions have various choices, such as air oxidation, DMSO oxidation and other mild oxidation processes, and H can also be adopted2O2,I2Mercury salts, etc. The most classical method in polypeptide synthesis is the formation of disulfide bonds by an air oxidation method, which generally comprises the steps of dissolving a polypeptide with a reduced sulfhydryl group in water, and reacting for more than 24 hours under a near-neutral or weakly alkaline condition (pH value of 6.5-10) to form a target disulfide bond. However, during the synthesis and preparation of cysteine-containing polypeptides, non-target disulfide bonds, i.e., impurities, may form within or between molecules, thus increasing the difficulty of subsequent purification. In the prior art, three methods are generally adopted for preparation and purification to control or remove impurities, firstly, impurities are controlled by controlling the liquid concentration of a crude product (or purified fraction), and when the liquid concentration is low, effective components in a solution can fully contact with air and are easily oxidized to generate new impurities; when the concentration is higher, the effective components in the solution can generate molecular bonds to form rings and can also generate new impurities; secondly, removing the generated non-target disulfide bond or dimer impurities by adopting multiple purification, namely removing the impurities by multiple purification of the crude product; thirdly, cysteine with protective group is selected and used in the synthesis to protect the reactive group, such as cysteine with TRT protection, namely Cys (TRT), cysteine with Acm protection, namely Cys (Acm), or cysteine with CAM protection, namely Cys (CAM) and the like.
With the above three approaches, there are the following disadvantages: 1. the distillate liquid has no fixed concentration, is easy to generate new impurities, is not beneficial to production and cannot control the quality; 2. the purification is carried out for many times, so that the sample loss is large, the yield is low, the time consumption is long, and the large-scale production is not facilitated; 3. the cysteine with protection is adopted, the purity of the synthesized polypeptide crude product is low, and due to the protection group, the solubility is poor, and the later purification and the scale-up production are not facilitated.
The invention provides a method for purifying polypeptide containing cysteine, which can overcome the defects of low purity, time and labor waste of the three prior art, is convenient to operate, greatly improves the yield and the product purity, and is easy to amplify production.
