Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce operation for discarding a protein denaturing agent, by recovering the protein denaturing agent used in operation to denature, solubilize and renature insoluble foreign proteins from a solution containing the foreign proteins for reuse. CONSTITUTION:A protein denaturing agent, such as guanidine salt, urea or thiocyanate, is used to denature, solubilize and renature insoluble foreign proteins. In the process, the protein denaturing agent is separated and recovered from a solution in a stage of denaturing and solubilizing the produced insoluble foreign proteins or solution in a stage of renaturing by a means, e.g., dialysis, and as desired, proteins derived from a low-molecular host cell or other impurities are separated from the resultant solution containing the protein denaturing agent.

Heterologous proteins produced in host cells often accumulate in the host cells as insoluble proteins, such as forming granular masses. These proteins are often folded in a form that does not allow them to express their original activity, and therefore a series of denaturation, solubilization and renaturation (refolding) as shown in JP-A-59-16'1321 is required. operation is required.

(Interlayer point to be solved by the invention) When a heterologous protein is produced as an insoluble heterologous protein in a host cell, an operation for denaturation solubilization and restoration using a protein denaturing agent is required. These substances cannot be disposed of because they are harmful to living organisms. As a result of intensive investigation into this problem, the present inventors have found that by minimizing the amount of protein denaturant used in the operations of denaturing, solubilizing, and restoring insoluble foreign proteins, the amount of protein denaturant-containing solution generated by these operations can be reduced. decrease,
As a result, we have completed a method that reduces the number of operations to discard the denaturing agent. That is, the present invention provides a method for denaturing an insoluble heterologous protein produced in a host cell using a protein denaturing agent, in which the denaturing agent used for denaturation, solubilization, and denaturation of the insoluble heterologous protein is recovered from a heterologous protein-containing solution and used again. The present invention provides a method for restoring an insoluble heterologous protein, which is described in detail below.

There are no particular restrictions on the host microorganism or the heterologous protein to be produced using genetic recombination technology. Conventionally, Escherichia coli is used as a host cell, and as an insoluble heterologous protein produced by Escherichia coli, for example, recovery of a human growth protein denaturing agent is performed using a heterologous protein-containing solution, that is, the produced insoluble heterologous protein is denatured. solution at the solubilized stage,
Alternatively, it may be carried out from the solution at the reconstituted stage.

In order to recover the protein denaturant, it is possible to use a method such as dialysis that can separate the protein denaturant from the heterologous protein produced using genetic recombination technology and solubilized. It is preferable to use an ultrafiltration membrane that is simple and can rapidly process a large amount of solution.

The recovered protein denaturing agent-containing solution can be used again for denaturation, solubilization, and renaturation of the same or other insoluble heterologous proteins without any problems as long as the concentration of the denaturant is higher than the required concentration. . If the concentration of the denaturant in the recovered protein denaturant-containing solution is below the required concentration, for example, if it cannot be used as it is for denaturation and solubilization operations that require a relatively high concentration of protein denaturant, use the protein denaturant. The denaturing agent may be concentrated using an ultrafiltration membrane or the like that does not allow it to pass through.
