    Highly efficient purification of protein complexes from mammalian cells using a novel streptavidin-binding peptide and hexahistidine tandem tag system: Application to Bruton’s tyrosine kinase Yifeng Li,1 Sarah Franklin,1 Michael J.

Vondriska1,2,3* 1Department of Anesthesiology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 2Department of Medicine/Cardiology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 3Department of Physiology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, CA Received 2 June 2010; Revised 9 September 2010; Accepted 27 October 2010 DOI: 10.1002/pro.546 Published online 15 November 2010 proteinscience.org Abstract: Tandem affinity purification (TAP) is a generic approach for the purification of protein complexes. The key advantage of TAP is the engineering of dual affinity tags that, when attached to the protein of interest, allow purification of the target protein along with its binding partners through two consecutive purification steps. The tandem tag used in the original method consists of two IgG-binding units of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus (ProtA) and the calmodulin- binding peptide (CBP), and it allows for recovery of 20–30% of the bait protein in yeast. When applied to higher eukaryotes, however, this classical TAP tag suffers from low yields. To improve protein recovery in systems other than yeast, we describe herein the development of a three-tag system comprised of CBP, streptavidin-binding peptide (SBP) and hexa-histidine. We illustrate the application of this approach for the purification of human Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk), which results in highly efficient binding and elution of bait protein in both purification steps (>50% recovery).

  • Analysis of Proteins by Immunoprecipitation
    Laboratory Procedures, PJ Hansen Laboratory - University of Florida Analysis of Proteins by Immunoprecipitation P.J. Hansen1 1Dept. of Animal Sciences, University of Florida Introduction Immunoprecipitation is a procedure by which peptides or proteins that react specifically with an antibody are removed from solution and examined for quantity or physical characteristics (molecular weight, isoelectric point, etc.). As usually practiced, the name of the procedure is a misnomer since removal of the antigen from solution does not depend upon the formation of an insoluble antibody-antigen complex. Rather, antibody-antigen complexes are removed from solution by addition of an insoluble form of an antibody binding protein such as Protein A, Protein G or second antibody (Figure 1). Thus, unlike other techniques based on immunoprecipitation, it is not necessary to determine the optimal antibody dilution that favors spontaneously-occurring immunoprecipitates. Figure 1. Schematic representation of the principle of immunoprecipitation. An antibody added to a mixture of radiolabeled (*) and unlabeled proteins binds specifically to its antigen (A) (left tube). Antibody- antigen complex is absorbed from solution through the addition of an immobilized antibody binding protein such as Protein A-Sepharose beads (middle panel). Upon centrifugation, the antibody-antigen complex is brought down in the pellet (right panel). Subsequent liberation of the antigen can be achieved by boiling the sample in the presence of SDS. Typically, the antigen is made radioactive before the immunoprecipitation procedure, either by culturing cells with radioactive precursor or by labeling the molecule after synthesis has been completed (e.g., by radioiodination to iodinate tyrosine residues or by sodium [3H]borohydride reduction to label carbohydrate).

Introduction: Protein G is a cell wall protein produced by group G streptococcus. Like protein A, this bacteria-derived protein binds with high affinity & specificity to the Fc portion of most mammalian immunoglobulins. Therefore, Protein G has been widely used for IgG purification. BioVision’s Protein G (Cat. # 6510) is a genetically engineered protein containing three Ig-binding regions of native Protein G. The cell wall binding region, albumin binding region and other non-specific regions have been eliminated from the recombinant Protein G to ensure the maximum specific IgG binding. The coupling technique is optimized to give a higher binding capacity for IgG & minimum leaching of recombinant Protein G. In addition, Protein G-Sepharose beads display high chemical & physical stability as well as high flow rate, hydrophilicity & high gel strength.

  • Immunoglobulin Structure and Function | 1
    Jul 25 18 Immunoglobulin structure and function | 1 Immunoglobulins form one branch of the adaptive immune system, recognizing pathogens or foreign material and initiating an immune response. Also known as antibodies, immunoglobulins are a group of glycoproteins present in the serum and tissue fluids of all mammals. Some on the surface of B cells act as antigen-specific receptors, others circulate unbound in the blood and lymph. Though there are wide variations in structure between the different classes of immunoglobulins, which differ in size, charge, amino acid composition, and nature of glycosylation. The robust nature of the archetypal immunoglobulin structure remains common to them all and provides the basis for their diversity in detection and effector function. Each immunoglobulin is bifunctional. The Fab region is responsible for antigen binding, and the Fc region for binding cellular receptors, conferring its effector function. The structure of all* immunoglobulins consists of four chains: two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains make up the recognizable Y shape of the antibody. The chains are held together by inter- chain disulfide bonds and by non-covalent interactions which vary between the different immunoglobulin isotypes. Intra-chain disulfide bonds within each of the polypeptide chains are responsible for the folded nature of the light and heavy chains. These make up the discrete regions called the variable and constant domains. Jul 25 18 Immunoglobulin structure and function | 2 *with the exception of some species such as camelid, find out more here Each light chain consists of a variable and a constant domain, VL and CL. The heavy chains have a variable domain (VH) and, depending on the molecule, may have 2 or more constant domains (CH).

  • Protein G Agarose Beads
    Protocol TD-P Revision 3.0 Creation Date: 4/22/2016 Revision Date: 8/16/2018 Antibody Binding Protocol Utilizing Protein G Agarose Beads Introduction Protein G agarose beads/resins, like Protein A agarose beads/resins, are routinely used in affinity chromatography, an elemental technique in the purification of monoclonal antibodies. Protein G is immobilized by covalent binding to the resin, allowing batch or column purifications of classes, subclasses, and fragments of immunoglobulins (antibodies) from cell culture media and biological fluids. In addition, Protein G, a bacterial cell wall protein first isolated from a G. streptococcal strain (G148), binds fragment crystallizable (Fc) regions and antigen-binding (Fab) fragments in immunoglobulins. Protein G contains 2 immunoglobulin binding sites, an albumin binding site, and a cell surface binding site. Conversely, recombinant Protein G, often made in E. coli , does not contain the albumin-binding domain or the cell wall and cell membrane binding domains ensuring maximum specific IgG binding capacity. Specifically, Protein G does not bind to human IgA, IgD or IgM. Furthermore, recombinant Protein G has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 21.6 kDa, but migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 32 kDa in SDS- PAGE. Importantly, the binding capacity of Protein G Agarose Resin depends on the source of the immunoglobulin. There might be deviations in binding capacities for different immunoglobulins derived from the same species, even if they are of the same subclass. Here, we describe a procedure for packing a column and purification of antibodies using Protein G agarose beads.

  • Stabilizing Capping Motif for Β-Hairpins and Sheets
    Stabilizing capping motif for β-hairpins and sheets Brandon L. Kier, Irene Shu, Lisa A. Eidenschink, and Niels H. Andersen1 Department of Chemistry, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195 Edited by William F. DeGrado, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, and approved April 23, 2010 (received for review December 3, 2009) Although much has been learned about the design of models of β-sheets during the last decade, modest fold stabilities in water and terminal fraying remain a feature of most β-hairpin peptides. In the case of hairpin capping, nature did not provide guidance for solving the problem. Some observations from prior turn capping designs, with further optimization, have provided a generally ap- plicable, “unnatural” beta cap motif (alkanoyl-Trp at the N terminus and Trp-Thr-Gly at the C terminus) that provides a net contribution of 6 þ kJ∕mol to β-hairpin stability, surpassing all other interac- tions that stabilize β-hairpins including the covalent disulfide bond. The motif, made up entirely of natural residues, is specific to the termini of antiparallel β-strands and reduces fraying at the ends of hairpins and other β-sheet models. Utilizing this motif, 10- to 22-residue peptide scaffolds of defined stereochemistry that are greater than 98% folded in water have been prepared. The β-cap can also be used to staple together short antiparallel β-strands connected by a long flexible loop. beta sheets ∣ capping stabilization ∣ peptide hairpins ∣ Trp/Trp interactions apping motifs are well-known features of protein and peptide Fig. 1.
