  2. Overview of Biochemical Experiments (characterization) Immunochemistry Antibody production Physicochemical characterization: MW (electrophoresis=EP, mass), size (EP, gel-filtration, centrifuge), purity (EP, chromatography), concentration (Bradford assay, spectroscopy), PI: electrofocusing (Partially) Purified biological materials Functional assay Identification (2D EP, Western, mass), enzymatic assay & kinetic study (EP, UV-Vis, fluorescence, isotope), P-P binding assay (EP, pull-down, migration assay, ITC, Biacore, gel-filtration, blotting), P-D binding assay (bandshift assay, footprinting assay), Chemical modification Structure study 2nd structure (CD, IR), 3rd structure (EM, X-ray, NMR), distance (fluorescence), conformational change (fluorescence, CD, UV-VIS, IR)

  3. Why do you need proteins? (amount & purity) • How are you going to prepare the large amount of protein? • - from tissue or using a recombinant system. • How are you going to purify protein? • - using their biochemical and biophysical characters. • How are you going to maintain their function (activity): keep their fold in native state. • What do you need to know? • Protein, what is it? • Structure & folding • Biochemical and biophysical characters • Function : binding & catalytic activity • What factors affect the structure and function of protein?

  4. Purpose? Antibody production Function study Structure study Antibody production Production Synthesis (protein or peptide) Recombinant protein Endogenous protein Purity Partially purified > 95 % Short term storage Medium term storage Maintenance Long term storage

  11. Expression systems

  12. Heterologous Protein Expression (host, vector) • Bacteria: E. coli, Bacillus etc (plasmid) • Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris (plasmid) • Insect cell: Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf), Trichoplusia ni TN-368 (High 5) (Baculovirus) • Animal cell: CHO cells, 293 cells etc (virus or plasmid) • In vitro translation: E. coli extract, wheat germ extract, rabbit recticulocyte (transcription & translation, plasmid) • Plant

  13. Prokaryotic expression - Why E. coli? Simple and inexpensive. (total 50 % of E.coli proteins can be the heterologous proteins. - Why other systems? expressed proteins might not be active (folding problem). - Components * Regulatory elements for transcription control (promoter) => strong, tightly regulated, induction * Translation initiation and termination => RBS or Shine-Dalgarno sequence (must be located optimally from the start codon) => TAA is preferred as a stop codon (less prone to read-through) * MCS site for insertion * Marker for selection Marker Ori

  14. Prokaryotic expression: low expression level or insoluble protein - Vector and host selection * protease-deficient host * rare codon t-RNA * secondary structure of RNA near translation initiation site * copy numbers of plasmid * promoter selection - Expression condition: * growth temperature * inducer concentration * secretion (concentration and disulfide bond), * co-expression with chaperone - Fusion protein (+detection and purification)

  15. pET system (unique features) • - Tight control of basal expression level • (DE3, pLysS, pLysE) • -Host selection • -Various fusion tags for purification (Novagen Catalogue)

  25. General consideration for purification 1. Maximize the yield and minimize the cost and time 2. Separate proteins using their physicochemical characters 3. Remove major impurity first 4. Use the most effective method first 5. Use the most expensive method last 6. Make your protein active

  26. Protein handling: 1. Principle: keep protein active and stable 2. Factors: contamination, denaturation, preteolytic digestion, chemical modification, adsorption 3. Methods: - Mild condition (pH, temp. surface) – avoid the denaturation - Concentration (avoid low and high conc.) - Stability and degradation (low temp., protease inhibitor, sodium azide, short exposure to high temp.) - Stabilizing agent such as glycerol - Reducing condition - No freeze & thaw

  27. Protein Purification – general scheme Protein overexpression or raw materials Cell Paste Cell disruption and debris separation Crude extract Partially purified (1st) protein Partially purified (2nd) protein Purified protein Function studies Pretreatment of samples or low-resolution chromatography Protein separation using chromatography Purity < 95 % Protein separation using high-resolution chromatography

  28. Chromatography • Principle : samples can be interact with a mobile phase (gas or liquid) & a stationary phase (column) • Chromatography – separate the molecules by adsorption, partition and/or path (charge) differences • - Preparation and analytical chromatograpies

  29. Resolution 1. Factors: size and rigidity of resin, packing, low diffusion, protein concentration, selection of resin, optimal flow rate, capacity 2. Performance: High & Low - pump & resin (pressure) HPLC (High performance Liquid Chromatography) 3. For high resolution column chromatography - Homogeneous small beads (homogenous packing) - high resistance to liquid flow (high pressure operation) - short theoretical plate height (high resolution) - decreasing diffusion (no line broadening, improving resolution) - porous bead – high capacity, size independent experiment (big enough for the penetration of proteins or large molecules) - smaller volume

  30. General procedures of column chromatography • (Packing the column) • Pre-equilibrium • Loading the column • Washing the column • Eluting the column • Collecting the eluting components • Detecting the eluting components

  31. General considerations for the column chromatographic separation 1. Sample volume, amount of protein. resolution, time, 2. Column size & packing, flow rate & chromatographic system must be considered for maximum resolution in a short time 3. Resin (matrix) - Condition: rigidity, nonspecific interaction, chemical stability, open pore, small and regular size - Cellulose, dextran, agrose, polyacrylamide or their mixture

  32. Column chromatography • Chromatography on the basis of the physical property of proteins : • gel-filtration • Chromatography on the basis of chemical property of proteins: ion-exchange, hydrophobic, reverse-phase, charge-transfer • Chromatography on the basis of the biochemcal activity of proteins : affinity

  33. Gel-filtration • - Principle: separate proteins using the size difference • Consideration: size of protein, column (height/width of column), sample volume, media, pore size & buffer (solubility of protein & non-specific interaction) • Choice: Gel-filtration & desalting together, choice for the next or previous step of ion-exchange • - Elution: buffer

  34. Gel-filtration Matrics

  35. Applications of gel-filtration columns • Separation • Desalting: change the buffer • 3. Size determination

  36. Ion-exchange • - Principle: separate proteins using the charge difference • - Consideration: Matrix, functional residues - cation (CM, SP, S) or anion (DEAE, QAE, Q), buffer pH & salt in buffer, PI of proteins • Choice: usually used for the first step after initial treatment, however high resolution ion exchange columns are also recommended in the final stage • Elution: salt elution or pH elution

  37. Effect of pH on surface charge

  38. Elution
