Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a process for the purification of the protein AlpA with Helicobacter, which has the characteristics required for implementation on an industrial scale.
- Helicobacter is a bacterial genus characterized by gram-negative spiral bacteria. Several species colonize the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. We cite in particular H. pylori, H. heilmanii, H. felis and H. mustelae. Although H. pylori is the species most commonly associated with human infections, in some rare cases, H. heilmanii and H. felis have been isolated from humans. A Helicobacter type bacterium, Gastrospirillum hominis has also been described in humans.
- Helicobacter infects more than 50% of the adult population in developed countries and almost 100% of that in developing countries; making it one of the predominant infectious agents worldwide.
- H. pylori is found exclusively to date on the surface of the stomach lining in humans and more particularly around crater lesions of gastric and duodenal ulcers. This bacterium is currently recognized as the etiological agent of antral gastritis and appears as one of the cofactors required for the development of ulcers. Furthermore, it seems that the development of gastric carcinomas may be associated with the presence of H. pylori.
- the lipoprotein AlpA Adhesin-like lipoprotein A
- AlpA and the gene encoding it were originally disclosed in WO 96/41880. It therefore remained to develop a production and purification process which made it possible to produce batches of pharmaceutical quality.
- the main objective of the present invention is to provide a simple and robust process which can be implemented on an industrial scale. This process must in particular make it possible to produce a large quantity of antigen without having to make costly investments.
- E. coli is par excellence the bacterium used as a host organism to produce all kinds of heterologous proteins by the recombinant route. When these proteins are not soluble or somehow excreted, they can accumulate as inclusion bodies. These inclusion bodies are intra-cytoplasmic corpuscles specific to E. coli. The appearance of these inclusion bodies is favored by a high level of expression (over-expression). The purification of the recombinant proteins from the inclusion bodies requires in particular that these inclusion bodies be dissolved beforehand. This solubilization is obtained in the usual way with a chaotropic agent (urea, guanidine) or a detergent.
- a chaotropic agent urea, guanidine
- the recombinant protein rAlpA deliberately produced in a non-lipid form in E. coli, still retains a high hydrophobicity. This strong intrinsic hydrophobicity makes its purification difficult by conventional means.
- the rAlpA protein is found in the inclusion bodies of E. coli and the presence of a chaotropic agent at high concentration is almost compulsory throughout the purification.
- hydrophobic interaction chromatographies are commonly used in order to purify proteins having a marked hydrophobic character.
- a protein occurs in a medium with a high concentration of guanidine
- the use of this type of chromatography becomes very problematic because the presence of guanidine must normally prevent adsorption.
- a very large number of proteins capable of being adsorbed under conventional conditions on a CIH support would be eluted at a high concentration of guanidine.
- AlpA we have now found that there is a narrow guanidine concentration window which allows both the maintenance of AlpA in soluble form and its adsorption on a CIH support. This window is between approximately 2.5 and 3.5 M.
- the subject of the invention is a method of purifying the adhesin-like protein A (AlpA) from Helicobacter eg H. pylori, according to which (i) a preparation containing AlpA and 2.5 to 3.5 M of guanidine with a hydrophobic interaction chromatography material so that AlpA is adsorbed on the material and (ii) AlpA is eluted with a solution containing 3.5 to 4.5 M of guanidine.
- AlphaA adhesin-like protein A
- the preparation brought into contact with the chromatography material contains 3 M of guanidine and AlpA is eluted with 4 M of guanidine at neutral pH (6 - 8; e.g. 6.5 - 7.5).
- a preparation containing AlpA in the presence of guanidine can in particular be obtained from a production process according to which (a) a Gram-negative bacterium, in particular E. coli, is capable of expressing AlpA in recombinant form, (b) the bacterial cells from the culture are recovered and lysed, (c) the bodies of inclusions contained in the cells are recovered, they are washed and solubilized, and (d) optionally, they are precipitated the inclusion bodies, the supernatant is removed and the precipitate is solubilized.
- a Gram-negative bacterium in particular E. coli
- the bacteria harvested after culture are first lysed.
- Cell lysis can be carried out in various ways, in particular by microfluidization.
- the cells can also be treated with benzonase during the lysis, so that the DNA of E. coli be digested.
- the inclusion bodies are then subjected to successive washings; preferably in a buffer containing a high concentration of salt in order to eliminate the nucleic acids and to best dissociate rAlpA from the contaminants; suitably, it can be a sodium buffer eg a buffer containing 0.5 M NaCl.
- the inclusion bodies are finally dissolved in highly concentrated guanidine eg guanidine 5.5 to 6.5 M, preferably 6 M.
- the ammonium sulphate is 0.4 to 0.6 M ammonium sulphate, eg 0.5 M.
- the precipitate containing rAlpA is again dissolved in highly concentrated guanidine eg 5.5 to 6.5 M guanidine, preferably 6 M.
- the preparation is diluted with Vz and then loaded onto an appropriate column.
- Chromatography of hydrophobic interactions can be carried out in a conventional manner using supports such as Sepharose TM (Pharmacia) and Fractogel TM (Merck) or else supports equivalent to the latter such as those found at Tosohaas or Biorad .
- the ligand can be butyl, octyl or phenyl.
- the ICIDH makes it possible in particular to separate the AlpA protein from its degradation products.
- the eluate originating from the ICIDH can be concentrated in different ways and in particular by ultrafiltration. It is also advisable to eliminate guanidine which is a toxic product.
- a diafiltration step eg tangential diafiltration, can be implemented, against several volumes of neutral buffer eluate containing urea with a molarity greater than or equal to 4 M, preferably greater than or equal to 6 M, of preferably 8 M urea; urea being present to maintain rAlpA in soluble form.
- 6 to 10 volumes of urea 7.5 to 8.5 M are used.
- a “polishing” can be carried out by ion exchange chromatography, in particular by anion exchange chromatography in order to remove the residual contaminants coming from E. coli.
- this last step is carried out in the presence of 8 M urea.
- the preparation of rAlpA resulting from the diafiltration is then applied to anion exchange chromatography equipment; the contaminants are adsorbed on this material while rAlpA does not adsorb and ends up in the filtrate (also called direct eluate).
- the presence of 8 M urea is essential for the following reasons: AlpA is a positively charged protein (very high pi) and therefore should not normally be adsorbed on anion exchange chromatography equipment. But its hydrophobic character is so marked that it would still be absorbed if 8 M urea was absent from the preparation.
- the invention also relates to a process for the purification of AlpA according to which (i) a preparation containing AlpA and urea 7.5 to 8.5 M, preferably 8 M, is brought into contact with material. anion exchange chromatography so that the contaminants adsorb on this material and (ii) AlpA is recovered in the filtrate.
- Anion exchange chromatography can be carried out in a conventional manner using supports such as Sepharose (Pharmacia) and Fractogel (Merck) or else supports equivalent to the latter such as those found at Tosohaas or Biorad.
- the ligand can be a tertiary amine such as DEAE (diethyleaminoethyl) or quaternary amine such as Q (quaternary, hydroxypropylediethyleaminoethyl) and TMAE (trimethyleaminoethyl).
- DEAE diethyleaminoethyl
- quaternary amine such as Q (quaternary, hydroxypropylediethyleaminoethyl) and TMAE (trimethyleaminoethyl).
- the AlpA protein characterized by a degree of purity greater than or equal to 90% of monomer, as measured by SDS-PAGE, staining with Coomassie blue and reading of densitometry.
- the remaining material other than the monomeric form consists of AlpA protein in multimeric form.
- the overall degree of purity being greater than or equal to 99%.
- this preparation must constitute a batch; that is to say, it was obtained from a single culture and the singular implementation of a purification process.
- the inclusion bodies can be dissolved by replacing guanidine with urea 7.5 to 8.5, preferably 8 M in a buffer with basic pH, preferably greater than or equal at 10.5, eg at pH 11.
- a phosphate buffer is used.
- the invention also relates to a process for the purification of the adhesin-like protein A (AlpA) Hél 'Helicobacter according to which (i) a preparation containing AlpA and 4.5 to 5.5 M is brought into contact. of urea with hydrophobic interaction chromatography equipment such that AlpA is adsorbed on the equipment and (ii) AlpA is eluted with a solution containing 7.5 to 8.5 M of urea.
