One-step affinity purification and processing of fusion proteins Philip Bryan
One-step purification: • affinity purification of fusion proteins, • removal of the fusion domain • isolation of the target protein
Target protein is fused onto an engineered pro-region of subtilisin
Precise fusion of target protein onto pro-region Target protein ProR58 Nde I Eco R1 Hind III Sal I Expression Vector pG58
Synthesis of fusion protein Cell extract Fusion protein
Binding of fusion protein to Sbt column Flow-through from column Loading on column
Elution of processed target protein Elution after overnight incubation Processed target protein
Purification of fusion protein Acid elution - No incubation Fusion protein
Pro-domain proR58 stripped from column with 0.1M H3PO4 pH 2.1

Processing activity: • Kd of fusion protein and SBT is < 1nM • Binding of fusion protein to SBT is fast • Processing is a slow, single turn-over reaction • Precise N-terminus of target protein produced. • Kd of processed proR58 and SBT is < 0.1nM • Non-specific cleavage is undetectable
Binding conditions: • pH 5-10 • 0-1M NaCl • 0-2M urea (folding on the column) • 0-1M Gu-HCl
Column is tolerant of: • EDTA • PMSF • Protease inhibitor cocktails • Reducing agents
