Description

Method for purifying affinity tagged acidic proteins containing host nucleic acids
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of protein purification, and in particular to a method for purifying an affinity tagged acidic protein containing a host nucleic acid.
Background
The recombinant protein product is widely applied to the fields of scientific research, biochemical analysis or medical treatment, a large amount of Host nucleic acid (HCD) residues are associated in the process of extracting and purifying the recombinant protein, particularly in molecular experiments, the Host nucleic acid can interfere with the analysis and judgment of experimental results, and the residual HCD in the biological medicinal product can bring cancerogenic and infection risks, so that the purified recombinant protein with low HCD residues has important significance.
To achieve high purity, low residual affinity tagged proteins, the first purification is usually affinity chromatography to enrich the protein; the second step of ion chromatography improves purity and reduces impurity residues. However, the acid protein with high requirement for HCD residue (the acid protein described in the patent refers to the protein with negative total surface net charge in the purified solution), the HCD content is difficult to be effectively reduced to below 100pg/mg after affinity-ion chromatography, and the ion chromatography method cannot effectively separate the acid protein from the HCD because the acid protein and the HCD surface are negatively charged, which greatly increases the purification difficulty and the process cost of the acid protein.
PEI (Polyethylenimine) is a molecular polymer with higher water solubility, is also currently known cationic organic high molecular material with the largest charge density, and has the advantages of high adhesiveness, high adsorptivity, high cationicity, high reactivity, low cytotoxicity and the like. In the industry, a PEI precipitation method is generally adopted to remove HCD, but the method has the problems of large protein loss, incomplete nucleic acid removal and PEI residue on acidic proteins. Thus, new techniques are needed to solve the HCD residue problem of proteins.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for purifying an affinity tagged acidic protein containing a host nucleic acid, the method comprising the steps of: step 1: loading an affinity tagged acidic protein solution containing host nucleic acids onto an affinity chromatography column, wherein the acidic protein specifically binds to ligands on the affinity chromatography column; step 2: rinsing the affinity chromatographic column with an equilibrium solution after loading is completed; step 3: after step 2, rinsing the affinity chromatography column with PEI solution, wherein PEI is washed with nucleic acid in the rinsing process, and the acidic protein is still bound on the affinity chromatography column; step 4: rinsing the affinity chromatographic column with an equilibrium solution, and eluting the acidic protein from the affinity chromatographic column with an eluent after rinsing; and, step 5: and after the eluted protein is replaced to a low-salt system, purifying by using a cationic chromatographic column, eluting the acidic protein with low salt, or purifying by using an anionic chromatographic column, removing PEI possibly remained with low salt, eluting the acidic protein with high salt, and separating the acidic protein and PEI according to the difference between the PEI and the acidic protein on the ion column, thereby obtaining the purified acidic protein.
In one embodiment, the PEI rinse volume in step 2 is not less than 5 volumes and PEI volume concentration is not less than 0.003%.
In one embodiment, the PEI rinse volume in step 2 is no greater than 9 column volumes and the PEI volume concentration is no greater than 0.004%.
In one embodiment, the PEI rinse volume in step 2 is 8 column volumes and the PEI volume concentration is 0.004%.
In one embodiment, the acidic protein is a molecular enzyme.
In the present invention, after the protein solution is on the affinity column, the protein is specifically bound with the affinity ligand on the chromatography column to form a ligand-protein complex; for certain specific proteins such as molecular enzymes (molecular enzymes in this application refer to enzymes whose substrates are nucleic acids and which can bind to nucleic acids), ligand-molecular enzyme-nucleic acid complexes are formed, from which nucleic acids are difficult to separate by conventional purification means, but the method of the invention can perfectly solve the separation problem. When PEI rinses the affinity column, the PEI has positive charges with high density, the nucleic acid is negatively charged, the PEI wraps the nucleic acid in the affinity column, the nucleic acid is forcedly peeled off from the protein to form PEI-nucleic acid complex, and the ionic acting force between molecules is generally smaller than the affinity, so that the protein is still combined on the chromatographic column in the rinsing process, and the nucleic acid is wrapped and eluted by the PEI.
When PEI rinses the affinity column, PEI forms PEI-nucleic acid complex by coating nucleic acid in the affinity column due to PEI with cations and nucleic acid with anions, and the PEI is rinsed with nucleic acid in the rinsing process and protein is still bound on the chromatography column due to the fact that intermolecular ionic forces are generally smaller than affinities.
The acidic protein solution eluted from the affinity column may have PEI residue, and under low salt conditions the acidic protein may flow through the cation chromatography column or the anion chromatography column, but under low salt conditions the PEI may flow through the anion chromatography column or the cation chromatography column, and the acidic protein and PEI may be separated according to the difference between the PEI and the acidic protein on the ion column.
The method has the advantages that the process is simple, the HCD in the obtained acidic protein is thoroughly removed, the HCD removal rate is more than 99%, the minimum HCD content can be reduced to 10pg/mg, and the protein loss is less than 10%. The method solves the problems of relatively complex process, overlarge protein loss and higher nucleic acid residue of the existing acid protein with the affinity tag in the HCD removal technology.
According to the invention, one step of PEI rinsing is added in the original affinity chromatography step, and the HCD residue problem is effectively solved by optimizing the PEI rinsing concentration and volume.
