The present invention relates to separation of polypeptides or proteins or removal of metal ions, and to 5 chromatographic agents suitable therefor.
Chromatographic agents for use in various separation processes are well known in the art. However, there has been a tremendous need for chromatographic agents with a specific affinity for proteins. A few proteins such as 10 lectins and protein A are used as ligands for affinity separation. However, their use is limited: lectins can be used only for the isolation and purification of glycoproteins, and protein A only for the isolation and purification of immunoglobulins.
The applicants have discovered that immobilised phosvitin and modified phosvitin act as excellent chromatographic agents for the separation of polypeptides and proteins, especially those that have a high affinity for phospho-serine clusters.
2 0 It is known that phosvitin has a high affinity for metal ions. The applicants have found also that this property is also exhibited by immobilised phosvitin,
which can be utilised in a system working on the principles of metal-chelate chromatography. Metal ions 25 such, for example, as Fe3+, Fe2+, Ca2 + , Mg2 + , Mn2+, Cu2+, Co2+ and Zn2+ are all biologically very important becaus^ K
2-38
(followed by page 2a)
of their involvement in a variety of catalytic processes.
Accordingly, the present invention provides the use of phosvitin or a modified phosvitin for the preparation of a chromatographic agent for the separation and/or 5 purification of polypeptides and proteins or for the removal of metal ions from biological material.
The present invention also provides phosvitin or a modified phosvitin immobilised and coupled to a suitable matrix, for use in the separation and/or purification of 10 polypeptides and proteins.
As used herein, the terms "phosvitin" and "modified phosvitin" are defined by reference to structure: phosvitin carries clusters of phosphorylated serine residues, and the term "modified phosvitin" is used to 15 denote a modified structure that retains phosphorylated serine residues; the terms are not limited to products obtained in particular ways. Thus, phosvitin may be of natural origin or produced synthetically, and modified phosvitin, similarly, is not restricted to its method of 20 production; for example, it is not restricted to a product prepared from phosvitin itself. Thus, each of phosvitin and modified phosvitin may be obtained by chemical, proteolytic or recombinant procedures. In the case of a modified phosvitin, for example, the modified 25 molecule itself may be produced by recombinant DNA
technology, or recombinant phosvitin may be produced and then modified.

A modified phosvitin may have, for example, one or more of the following modifications while still preserving binding ability: removal of some or all of the 5 carbohydrate; removal of one or more amino acids;
addition of one or more amino acids; modification at one or more individual amino acid residues; replacement of one or more individual amino acid residues, for example of aspartic acid by glutamic acid or lysine by arginine;
appropriate physical change to the molecule.

If desired, the phosvitin or modified phosvitin may be in the form of a metal chelate complex.
The phosvitin or modified phosvitin may be used in the isolation of polypeptides and proteins, for the 5 separation of various individual polypeptides and proteins from their impurities, and for the purification of polypeptides and proteins. Thus, for example, the chromatographic agent may be used for the resolution of a mixture of proteins or polypeptides from a broth or an 10 extract, and/or it may be used to obtain a protein or polypeptide in a substantially pure (homogeneous) form.
A non-chelated phosvitin or modified phosvitin may also be used for the removal of metal ions from biological material, especially from physiological fluids, for 15 example from blood, serum or plasma.
The present invention further provides a process for the separation and/or purification of a polypeptide or a protein, or for the removal of metal ions from biological material, wherein there is used as chromatographic agent 20 phosvitin or a modified phosvitin, immobilised and coupled to a suitable matrix.
Phosvitin is rich in phosphorylated serine residues and these normally occur in clusters in that protein. The applicants have found by examination of X-ray 25 crystallography data, in relation to proteins having serine clusters, that the configuration of those clusters varies greatly from protein to protein, implying, the
Z3&5B&
believe, that the amino acids in proximity to the flusters dictate the configuration those serine clusters can assume.
The applicants have also discovered that proteins 5 such as, for example, cytochrome-C, lysozyme, EcoR^ and human Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH) have an extremely high affinity for the phospho-serine residues of phosvitin in its immobilised form. These proteins such as cytochrome-C and lysozyme carry charge clusters 10 near their C-terminal regions, and the applicants believe that charge cluster regions which complement certain phospho-serine cluster domains on phosvitin are involved in the observed affinity phenomenon for these proteins.
It is considered that the binding effects observed 15 are not merely the result of a generalised electrostatic interaction between the polyanionic phosvitin molecule and a polycationic protein or polypeptide. It is believed that it is the particular structure and configuration of the phosvitin molecule at and in the region 20 of the phosphoserine clusters that leads to a specific interaction with certain particular proteins and polypeptides that have a complementary structure and configuration at and in the region of charge clusters.
Accordingly, also, we believe, suitable modified 25 phosvitins are those retaining the important phosphorylated serine residues, that is those in which some or all, preferably the majority, of the clusters of
%
/I k r *>\
,W

phosphorylated serine residues are retained. Advantageously, substantially all such clusters are retained.
Further evidence for the postulated involvement of 5 domains in the interaction is given by experiments in which modifications of arginine residues in lysozyme with diacetyl and of lysine residues in cytochrome-C with acetic anhydride were carried out. The applicants have found that these modifications lead to complete loss of 10 the binding property of these proteins to a phosvitin-Sepharose matrix.
Accordingly, polypeptides and proteins that may be separated and/or purified by the non-chelated chromatographic agents according to the invention are especially 15 those having charge clusters, including, for example, various growth factors, DNA binding proteins (those involved in early gene replication and transcription processes) and DNA- and RNA-modifying enzymes. Examples include those given in the following Table 1:

C. DNA-modifying enzymes
D. RNA-modifying enzymes
E. DNA-recombinant fusion protein products:
Since certain domains in proteins such as cytochrome-C and lysozyme have strong affinity for
phosvitin, it is considered that the engineering of the genes corresponding to those domains along with the gene coding for a protein of interest into an organism to produce a fusion protein containing those domains will facilitate their rapid and 20 specific purification using the phosvitin/modified phosvitin chromatographic agent according to the invention.
It has been proposed to use immobilised phosvitin to purify protein kinases, for which enzymes phosvitin can 25 act as a substrate. Such use is, however, limited to that particular class of enzymes, and is not included in the present invention. f\-

The chemical and structural features of phosvitin in unmodified or modified form that make it eminently suitable for use as chromatographic ligand based, it is believed, on the principle of charge cluster interactions 5 also lend themselves to the generation of metal-chelates.
This ability to form metal chelates is of use, not only for removal of metals from biological and non-biological materials, but also for generation of a metal-chelate chromatographic medium, and this may be used in 10 the separation and/or purification of both biological and non-biological material. Thus, we believe that metal-containing proteins and those having high affinity for metal ions may be purified by metal chelate chromatography.
Thus, for example, the applicants have found that a phosvitin-Sepharose matrix with appropriate chelation with zinc results in a complex which exhibits affinity to proteins: for example it exhibited strong binding of at least two proteins from egg white (110 Kd and 120 Kd). 20 Similarly, chelate complexes with Fe3+, Fe2+, Cu2+ and Ca2+ bound to phosvitin may be prepared and used for the purification of metal-dependant enzymes and other proteins, and an iron chelate complex of phosvitin affinity material may be used to remove peroxides from 25 solvents.
The high affinity exhibited by phosvitin in i .
unmodified or modified form towards metal ions indicates
•/ 7*
238588
that the phosvitin matrix may also be used for scavenging excess metal ions from physiological fluids, for example by haemodialysis. For example, in iron-overload states, the phosvitin matrix may be used, for example for iron 5 scavenging from serum in Cooley's anaemia.
Phosvitin is a naturally-occurring protein, found in avian and fish eggs. Phosvitin can be obtained in purified form (electrophoretically homogeneous) by a number of techniques known per se. for example as 10 described in J. Am. Chem. Soc. [1949] 71, 3670. Thus a chromatographic agent used in the present invention has the advantage that it utilises a protein which is naturally abundant and which can be purified with relative ease.
Advantageously, the 6-form of phosvitin may be used;
this has a higher phosphate content than the a-form.
The invention includes also the use of modified forms of phosvitin, whether or not prepared from phosvitin itself, and as well as the possibility of using a 20 modified phosvitin ab initio, the possibility of carrying out one or more modifications at any suitable stage in the preparation of the chromatographic agent may be mentioned. //.J""

example, by chemical and/or enzymatic means, for example proteolysis with the protease trypsin. It is surprising that this proteolysis has proved possible, because it is generally considered that phosvitin is resistant to 5 proteolysis. Phosvitin modified in this way and immobilised on a suitable matrix can have an especially high binding capacity.
Other chemical and/or enzymatic modifications directed at specific amino acid residues are also 10 possible. Furthermore, if the gene for phosvitin is cloned into another organism to produce a recombinant phosvitin, site-directed-mutagenesis may be used to change a particular amino acid, for example aspartic acid to glutamic acid or lysine to arginine. Such modifica-15 tions are well-known in molecular biology. If a resulting recombinant phosvitin or modified phosvitin molecule is not already phosphorylated, a phosphorylation reaction should generally be carried out.

invention may be prepared by methods known per se: see, for example "A new method for the analysis of blood serum glycoproteins using Sepharose coupled Lectins", S.
Thompson and G.A. Turner, in Lectins, edited by T.C. B0g-Hansen and D.L.J. Freed, pp 453-458, published by 15 Sigma Chemical Company, 1988. The phosvitin may be attached directly to the matrix or indirectly, by use of spacer arms.
Thus, a chromatographic agent comprising phosvitin or a modified phosvitin immobilized and coupled to a 20 suitable matrix may be prepared by a process comprising mixing the phosvitin with the matrix in the presence of a buffer so that the pH of the mixture is in the range preferably of from 8.0 to 8.3, washing away the excess ligand of the phosvitin and then blocking the remaining 25 active groups of the matrix by treating the mixture with an amine to produce coupled phosvitin-matrix, washing the resulting product and recovering the coupled phosvitin-* '
The chromatographic agent used according to the
J v £
238588
matrix
The matrix may be, for example, a Sepharose gel. We have used CNBr-activated Sepharose and found that it efficiently couples and immobilises phosvitin and 5 modified phosvitin. Activation of Sepharose with cyanogen bromide and coupling of proteins such as lectins to such activated matrix is well known in the art. In addition to cyanogen bromide-activated-Sepharose, other support media/matrices, such, for example, as agarose, 10 acrylamide, silica and suitable fibres (both synthetic and natural) which are appropriately modified to enable coupling of proteins, may be used. The use of spacer arms usually employed for coupling containing 6 to 12 carbon atoms, for example 6-aminohexanoic acid or 1,4-15 bis(2, 3-epoxypropxy)butane, to increase the binding capacities of the affinity material may provide an additional advantage.
The weight ratio of phosvitin to matrix used may be, for example, substantially 0.005:1. The use of 6 to 2 0 10 mg of phosvitin per ml of swollen activated Sepharose or other matrix is recommended. The maximum amount of coupling we have observed is about 6mg/ml; this range of protein gives an affinity product of sufficient capacity for example for purification of proteins.
Mixing of the phosvitin and matrix may be carried out, for example, at a temperature in the range of from 4 to 25°C, more especially at substantially 4°C.
■i

238588
The coupling of the phosvitin to the matrix is carried out in the presence of a suitable buffer. For activated matrices reactive to amine functions, this buffer should preferably be free of primary amines, since 5 if the coupling buffer contains reactive amino groups along with the protein ligand to be coupled, then the extent of protein ligand attachment to the matrix will be reduced, resulting in lower affinity capacity. Any buffer lacking an amino group may be employed, although 10 most preferred are sodium bicarbonate and borate buffers. In general the buffer should provide a pH in the range of from 8.0 to 8.3. Excellent results may be obtained employing sodium bicarbonate buffer containing about 0.5 M NaCl. The use of a 0.1 M NaHC03 buffer having a pH of 15 substantially 8.3 and containing 0.5 M NaCl should especially be mentioned.
After coupling with the matrix, excess ligands are washed away, for example with the buffer used for the coupling, and as soon as practicable thereafter the 20 remaining active groups are blocked, generally with an amine or an amino acid. Primary amines are preferred. Especially good results have been obtained using ethanol-amine. Amino acids may also be used to block excess reactive sites but are less preferred as these would 25 introduce unwanted charges. The amine may be used, for example, in a concentration of from 0.1 to 1.0 M; l M
ethanolamine is especially suitable.
:\
238588
The blocking reaction may be carried out, for example, at a pH of from 7.5 to 9.5, more especially at a pH of substantially 9. It may be carried out, for example, for a period of from 2 to 18 hours, for example 5 for substantially 16 hours. Suitably a temperature in the range of from 4 to 25°C, for example substantially 4°C, is used. Blocking with 1 M ethanolamine at a pH of 9 for 16 hours at a temperature of 4°C should especially be mentioned.
The resulting coupled phosvitin-matrix is then generally washed, to remove non-specifically bound proteins, if any, from the matrix. Usually, two different pHs are used, more especially two or more cycles of alternating pH. The number of cycles is generally three, 15 although the number of such cycles is not critical.
Three washing cycles, for example, may be carried out, each cycle consisting, for example, of 0.1 M acetate buffer pH 4.0 containing 0.5 M NaCl, followed by a wash with 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0 containing 0.5 M NaCl. The 2 0 applicants have found that three such washes generally remove non-specifically bound proteins (if any), from the matrix, as determined by absorbance at 2 80nm. The chromatographic agent may then be recovered by filtration. Washing and recovery procedures used in coupling 2 5 proteins to activated matrices are well known.
Preparation of a chromatography column may then be carried out by known methods. For example, after """

packing a suitable column with the phosvitin matrix, equilibration may be carried out for example with Tris HC1 buffer, suitably with 10 to 50 mM Tris HC1, pH 7.5 to 8.5; a suitable flow rate is 0.25 ml/min.
equilibration may be treated with a suitable buffer containing metal ions; usually the same buffer used for equilibration is used in this step, for example lOmM Tris buffer, pH 7.5, containing, for example, 0.1 M zinc 10 acetate, 0.1 M ferric chloride or 0.1 M calcium chloride. Two to three column volumes of such metal salt-contain-ing buffer is suitably passed through the column, and the column then equilibrated with buffer alone.

purification of proteins/polypeptides or for the removal of metal ions may be carried out according to methods known per se. using set protocols, for example as follows.
A column is prepared and equilibrated as described above. The column is then loaded with the crude material (containing for example 1.0 to 5.0 mg/ml protein or the metal-containing material), centrifuged for example at 10,000 rpm for a period of, for example, 10 to 30 10 minutes, suitably at 4°C. The column is then washed with the equilibration buffer until all non-binding proteins are washed, and the column is eluted, for example with Tris HC1 buffer, suitably with 10 to 50 mM Tris HC1, pH 7.5 to 8.5, with a linear gradient of 0.1M to 2M NaCl. A 15 fraction of suitable volume is collected, the wash and eluants being monitored with absorbance at 280nm. For a metal chelate complex, the pH of the buffer is generally lowered to obtain elution. For scavenging metals, there is generally no elution by salt, although if proteins are 20 bound along with salt elution may be necessary.
Accordingly, the present invention especially provides a process for the separation and/or purification of a polypeptide or protein, especially one having affinity for phospho-serine, which comprises loading the poly-25 peptide or protein onto a chromatographic column containing a chromatographic agent comprising phosvitin or a modified phosvitin, immobilised and coupled to a suitable ' ;

For example, for purification of lysozyme derived 5 from egg white, the equilibrating agent may be 66 mM KH2P04 at a pH of 6.24, and the buffer employed for the elution may be 100 mM KH2P04 at a pH of 6.24 containing 200 mM NaCl.
For purification of a restriction enzyme, the 10 equilibrating agent may be, for example, 10 mM Tris-HCl having a pH of 7.5 and containing 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgS04 and 1 mM DTT, and the salt solution may be, for example 10 mM Tris-HCl having a pH of 7.5 and containing 1.5 M NaCl, 10 mM KCl, 100 Mg/ml BSA and 1 mM DTT. 15 The column operations are suitably performed at 4°C.
In the case of enzymes, activities are determined and for hormones recommended immunoassays are performed.
The following Examples illustrate the invention.

kept at 4°C for 18 hours to allow precipitation. The precipitate was dispersed in 70 ml of 0.4 M (NH4)2S04 and the pH was adjusted to 4.0. The dispersion was mixed thoroughly and centrifuged. The supernatant was extrac-5 ted with 3 0 ml of ether and this was repeated three times. After every extraction the aqueous layer was separated. All aqueous fractions were pooled together and treated with (NH4)2S04 to give 95% saturation. The saturated mixture was allowed to stand at 4°C overnight. 10 The precipitated protein was centrifuged and dissolved in water and dialysed against distilled water for 48 hours at 4°c. The water was changed every 8 hours. The dialysed protein solution was lyophilized. Yield:
From 100 gms yolk material 290 mg dry protein were obtained.
The purified phosvitin was then filtered by gel filtration to separate the a and B forms. For this a Sephadex G200 column (104 x 2.5 cm) was equilibrated with 20 100 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 5.0 and the dialysed protein (50 mg) were loaded onto the column. The protein in the eluate was monitored by OD_Qri. From the analysis

Analysis of phosvitin:
1 Phosphate (inorganic): Phosphate estimation for the protein was done using the Ammonium Molybdate Method (Anal. chem. [1956] 28, 1756). The digested protein (H2S04 + HN03 digestion) was subjected to analysis. The 6 form had 10.7 - 11.8% phosphorus.
2 Protein estimation: Lowry's method (J. Biol. Chem. [1951], 193. 265) was used for the protein estimation.
Electrophoretic analysis:
Electrophoresis was done on 10% homogeneous poly-acrylamide gel with Tris-glycine buffer pH 8.3. The purified protein showed a single major band. Subsequent 15 analysis on SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular weight of the purified protein was in the range of 30,000 to 35,000. There were no major impurities associated with this protein.

In order to check the specificity, cytochrome-C was allowed to react with soluble phosvitin and then loaded on to the phosvitin-Sepharose. The loaded mixture did not bind to the column clearly suggesting that the 5 binding domain on the cytochrome-C is already masked by phosvitin.
This established the efficacy of the column material, viz. phosvitin.

Purification of lysozyme from egg white:
A phosvitin-Sepharose 4B column (5 ml bed volume) was used for this purpose. Egg white was diluted in 66 mM KH2P04 pH 6.24 to adjust the 0D28Q to approximately 10 per ml. A total of 10 ml of this diluted egg white was 15 directly loaded onto the phosvitin-Sepharose, previously equilibrated with 66 mM KH2PO4 pH 6.24. The flow rate was maintained at l ml per 3 minutes using a peristaltic pump. After the loading was complete, the column was washed with 66 mM KH2P04 pH 6.24. When the A28Q reading 2 0 was below 0.05 OD, the column was eluted with 100 mM KH2P04 pH 6.24 containing 200 mM NaCl. The fractions (lml vol) were monitored for A28Q absorbance as well as enzyme activity.
The enzyme activity was measured in 66 mM KH2P04 pH 25 6.24 containing the requisite amount of Micrococcus luteus cell suspension at 25°C. One Unit is defined

The column was first eluted 2 0 with 10 mM Tris HCl pH 7.7 containing 1 M NaCl. The wash and salt eluates were assayed for ACTH by radioimmunoassay.

It was observed that no elution was obtained with 1 M NaCl, and 1.5 M NaCl was required for eluting PTH from the phosvitin-Sepharose column, indicating strong binding.
It is clear from Examples 7 and 8 that the phosvitin-Sepharose also binds to hACTH and hPTH from serum samples.
EXAMPLES WITH MODIFIED PHOSVITIN Example 9
Modification of Phosvitin
Phosvitin was modified by proteolysis of the native protein with trypsin as follows:

system) was taken up in 2 0 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5 at a concentration of 2 0 mg/ml and was treated with trypsin (in a phosvitin:trypsin ratio [w/w] of 100:1). The mixture was incubated at 37°c for 1 hour. On SDS-PAGE the native 5 protein showed 3 major bands around 28-32kDa. The trypsinised phosvitin showed a major band at 2 6 kDa and two others corresponding to molecular weights of around 8000-14000.
Purification of trypsinised phosvitin:
The trypsinised phosvitin was subjected to Cu(II)
imino di-acetic acid, metal chelation chromatography. For this purpose chelating Sepharose fast flow column (1 ml, Pharmacia) was equilibrated with a solution of 50 mM copper sulphate till the entire column was 15 coloured. The column was then equilibrated with 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.5 containing 0.5 M NaCl and then it was loaded with 200 pi (2 mg) protein solution. The column was developed with a pH gradient generated using 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.5 containing 20 0.5 M NaCl (buffer A) and 200 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 3.5 containing 0.5 M NaCl (buffer B). All operations were performed on the FPLC system (Pharmacia) at 21°C. Some A280 absorbing material (i.e. that absorbing at 280 nm) (peak PI) was eluted in the buffer A wash and 25 later, at the end of the gradient, the pH was continued to be maintained at 3.5 when another protein (peak P2)
was obtained. Analysis of these peaks on SDS-PAGE ^

confirmed that peak P2 represents a truncated version of phosvitin which corresponds to a molecular weight of 26000.
Analytical Results:
Although the molecular weight of truncated phosvitin was less by about 4000-5000, compared to the native protein, their phosphate and carbohydrate content remained essentially similar.
Example 10
Immobilisation of truncated phosvitin
The P2 fraction was dialysed against 5 mM EDTA and then against Milli Q water. The dialysed protein was lyophilized, and covalently attached to CNBr-activated Sepharose (protocol of coupling was the same as described 15 for phosvitin-Sepharose). 1 ml of coupled matrix typically contains 6 mg protein.
The coupled matrix was designated as P2-Sepharose and was tested for its binding characteristics as described below.
Example 11
Affinity of Cvtochrome-C to P2-Sepharose
The matrix (0.5 ml bed volume) was equilibrated with 20 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5. The coliamn was loaded with 200 jxl of 1 mg/ml of horse heart cyrochrome-C (Sigma). The 25 column was washed with the equilibrating buffer till

was nearly zero, and then eluted with 20 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5 containing 1 M NaCl. The salt-eluted fractions showed the soret band at 410 nm. The sodium dithionite reduction which resulted in the appearance of a, B & V 5 bands confirmed the presence of cytochrome-C.
The binding characteristics of cytochrome-C to P2-Sepharose were very similar to those of phosvitin-Sepharose matrix.
Example 12
Affinity of Lysozyme to P2-Seoharose
The 0.5 ml bed volume of P2-Sepharose column was equilibrated with 20 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5. The column was loaded with 500 n 1 of 14 mg/ml lysozyme (Sigma) . The matrix was washed with the equilibration buffer till the 15 A280 was zero, and then eluted with 20 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5 containing 1M NaCl. Virtually no A280 absorbing material appeared either in the breakthough or in the wash fractions. There was essentially total recovery (>85%) of lysozyme in the salt-eluted fractions. The 20 presence of lysozyme in the eluate was confirmed by subjecting the fractions to enzyme assay. P2-Sepharose has a capacity to bind to 13-14 mg of lysozyme per ml of gel bed volume, whereas the equivalent capacity for phosvitin-Sepharose is 5-6 mg/ml.
The column was used for purification of lysozyme from egg white. The crude egg white preparation wa-
238588
diluted to 10 OD (A230)/ml with 20 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5. The P2-Sepharose column (1 ml) was loaded with 50 OD of crude protein. The breakthrough protein did not show any appreciable lysozyme activity, whereas the 20mM Tris 5 HCl pH 7.5 containing 1.0 M NaCl eluates showed very high specific activity.
In one experiment 7.5 mg of lysozyme could be purified with specific activity of 425 u/mg protein (Unit definition: 1 unit of lysozyme causes A450 change of 10 0.1/min at 25°C at pH 6.24).
