Expression, Isolation, and Purification of Soluble and Insoluble Biotinylated Proteins for Nerve Tissue Regeneration

Abstract: Recombinant protein engineering has utilized Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression systems for nearly 4 decades, and today E. coli is still the most widely used host organism. The flexibility of the system allows for the addition of moieties such as a biotin tag (for streptavidin interactions) and larger functional proteins like green fluorescent protein or cherry red protein. Also, the integration of unnatural amino acids like metal ion chelators, uniquely reactive functional groups, spectroscopic probes, and… Show more

“…[25] The amino acid sequence was optimized for E. coli expression (Genscript) and inserted into a pET28a vector. Myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (CaNMT) inserted into a pET11c vector was generously obtained from Dr. Edward Tate (Imperial College London).…”

“…CaNMT and azIFN- γ were co-expressed within E. coli and purified as previously described. [11, 25] Briefly, BL21 (DE3) E. coli cultures were grown in 1.8 L of 47.6 mg/mL Terrific Broth (EMD) with 8 mL/L glycerol (Sigma-Aldrich), 200 μ g/mL ampicillin (Chem-Impex), and 50 μ g/mL kanamycin (Chem-Impex). After the cultures reached an optical density of 0.7, 500 μ M 12-ADA was added (for no azide tag controls, 12-ADA was omitted) and expression of both proteins induced by 1 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG, Chem-Impex) and maintained at 37 °C for 4 h. The culture medium was centrifuged and stored at −80°C until isolation.…”

“…Recombinant Protein Expression and Purification : Growth factors (IFN‐γ, PDGF‐AA) were expressed, biotinylated, and purified as described in previous studies . Briefly, active sequences for each protein were selected from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI; IFN‐γ: NP_620235 AA23‐156; PDGF‐AA: AAH61731.1, AA87‐211).…”

“…The cytokine IFN-c was recombinantly expressed and purified in house as described in previous studies. 43,44 To encourage cell attachment and to increase the local growth factor functional efficiency within the hydrogel, IFN-c protein and laminin were reacted with azide-PEG4-NHS ester at a molar ratio of 1:20 for 3 h to add azide groups to the proteins to create azide-INF-c and azide-laminin ( Figure 1). This nonspecific form of modification targets primary amine containing amino acid residues.…”
