A peptide tag system for facile purification and single-molecule immobilization.

ABSTRACT: A peptide fusion tag and accompanying recombinant capture reagents have been developed on the basis of the peptide-PDZ domain interaction and affinity clamps, a new class of affinity reagent. This system allows for single-step purification under mild conditions and stable capture of a tagged protein. The subnanomolar affinity, high force resistance (>30 pN), small size ( approximately 25 kDa, approximately one-sixth of the size of IgG), and monomeric nature of the affinity clamp are all superior features for many applications, in particular single-molecule measurements.

Novel affinity tag system using structurally defined antibody-tag interaction: application to single-step protein purification.

Project description:Biologically important human proteins often require mammalian cell expression for structural studies, presenting technical and economical problems in the production/purification processes. We introduce a novel affinity peptide tagging system that uses a low affinity anti-peptide monoclonal antibody. Concatenation of the short recognition sequence enabled the successful engineering of an 18-residue affinity tag with ideal solution binding kinetics, providing a low-cost purification means when combined with nondenaturing elution by water-miscible organic solvents. Three-dimensional information provides a firm structural basis for the antibody-peptide interaction, opening opportunities for further improvements/modifications.

Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy with the Fluorescence-Activating and Absorption-Shifting Tag (FAST) System.

Project description:We develop and employ the Fluorescence-Activating and absorption-Shifting Tag (FAST) system for super-resolution (SR) imaging and single-molecule tracking based on single-molecule localizations. The fast off rate of fluorogen binding, combined with its spatially well-separated labeling of the densely expressed FAST fusion proteins, allowed single-molecule measurements to be performed in both living and fixed cells. The well-separated fluorescence localization density was achieved by either reversibly controlling the fluorogen concentration or by irreversibly photobleaching the FAST-fluorogen complex. The experimentally determined resolution of 28 nm allowed us to resolve Ensconsin-labeled microtubules and to track single molecules in mitochondria. Our results demonstrate that FAST is well-suited for single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). The small size and the availability of spectrally distinct fluorogens present unique advantages of the FAST system as a potential orthogonal labeling strategy that could be applied in conjunction with existing super-resolution dyes and photoactivatable proteins in versatile imaging applications.

Single-molecule peptide fingerprinting.

Project description:Proteomic analyses provide essential information on molecular pathways of cellular systems and the state of a living organism. Mass spectrometry is currently the first choice for proteomic analysis. However, the requirement for a large amount of sample renders a small-scale proteomics study challenging. Here, we demonstrate a proof of concept of single-molecule FRET-based protein fingerprinting. We harnessed the AAA+ protease ClpXP to scan peptides. By using donor fluorophore-labeled ClpP, we sequentially read out FRET signals from acceptor-labeled amino acids of peptides. The repurposed ClpXP exhibits unidirectional processing with high processivity and has the potential to detect low-abundance proteins. Our technique is a promising approach for sequencing protein substrates using a small amount of sample.

RIEDL tag: A novel pentapeptide tagging system for transmembrane protein purification.

Project description:Affinity tag systems are an essential tool in biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology. Although several different tag systems have been developed, the epitope tag system, composed of a polypeptide "tag" and an anti-tag antibody, is especially useful for protein purification. However, almost all tag sequences, such as the FLAG tag, are added to the N- or C-termini of target proteins, as tags inserted in loops tend to disrupt the functional structure of multi-pass transmembrane proteins. In this study, we developed a novel "RIEDL tag system," which is composed of a peptide with only five amino acids (RIEDL) and an anti-RIEDL monoclonal antibody (mAb), LpMab-7. To investigate whether the RIEDL tag system is applicable for protein purification, we conducted the purification of two kinds of RIEDL-tagged proteins using affinity column chromatography: whale podoplanin (wPDPN) with an N-terminal RIEDL tag (RIEDL-wPDPN) and human CD20 with an internal RIEDL tag insertion (CD20-169RIEDL170). Using an LpMab-7-Sepharose column, RIEDL-wPDPN and CD20-169RIEDL170 were efficiently purified in one-step purification procedures, and were strongly detected by LpMab-7 using Western blot and flow cytometry. These results show that the RIEDL tag system can be useful for the detection and one-step purification of membrane proteins when inserted at either the N-terminus or inserted in an internal loop structure of multi-pass transmembrane proteins.

A single amino acid Gly-tag enables metal-free protein purification.

Project description:Analytically pure proteins are indispensable for diverse applications, including therapeutics. Here, we report a methodology where a single amino acid, glycine, enables metal-free protein purification. This robust platform is enabled by a Gly-tag resin for site-specific capture, enrichment, and release through chemically triggered C-C bond dissociation by resonance-assisted electron density polarization.

Purification and in situ immobilization of papain with aqueous two-phase system.

Project description:Papain was purified from spray-dried Carica papaya latex using aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). Then it was recovered from PEG phase by in situ immobilization or preparing cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). The Plackett-Burman design and the central composite design (CCD) together with the response surface methodology (RSM) were used to optimize the APTS processes. The highly purified papain (96-100%) was achieved under the optimized conditions: 40% (w/w) 15 mg/ml enzyme solution, 14.33-17.65% (w/w) PEG 6000, 14.27-14.42% (w/w) NaH2PO4/K2HPO4 and pH 5.77-6.30 at 20°C. An in situ enzyme immobilization approach, carried out by directly dispersing aminated supports and chitosan beads into the PEG phase, was investigated to recover papain, in which a high immobilization yield (>90%) and activity recovery (>40%) was obtained. Moreover, CLEAs were successfully used in recovering papain from PEG phase with a hydrolytic activity hundreds times higher than the carrier-bound immobilized papain.

Facile construction of fluorescent peptide microarrays: One-step fluorescent derivatization of sub-microscale peptide aldehydes for selective terminal immobilization.

Project description:In this note, we demonstrate the utility of bifunctional fluorescent linkers to facilitate the construction of peptide microarrays with either an N- or a C-terminal alkylamine for directionally preferred peptide immobilization. Significantly, these small tags facilitate high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profiling while limiting interference with antigen-antibody interactions after peptide immobilization. In a model peptide-antibody binding assay, a sequence-dependent orientation effect of antibody binding to a series of peptide ligands was demonstrated. This approach provides a strategy that can be applied to a variety of peptide microarray-based detection systems.

Arabidopsis HY5 protein functions as a DNA-binding tag for purification and functional immobilization of proteins on agarose/DNA microplate.

Project description:Protein microarray is considered to be one of the key analytical tools for high-throughput protein function analysis. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis HY5 functions as a novel DNA-binding tag (DBtag) for proteins. We also demonstrate that the DBtagged proteins could be immobilized and purified on a newly designed agarose/DNA microplate. Furthermore, we show three applications using the microarray: (1) detection of autophosphorylation activity of DBtagged human protein kinases and inhibition of their activity by staurosporine, (2) specific cleavage of DBtagged proteins by a virus protease and caspase 3, and (3) detection of a protein-protein interaction between the DBtagged UBE2N and UBE2v1. Thus, this method may facilitate rapid functional analysis of a wide range of proteins.

Development of RAP Tag, a Novel Tagging System for Protein Detection and Purification.

Project description:Affinity tag systems, possessing high affinity and specificity, are useful for protein detection and purification. The most suitable tag for a particular purpose should be selected from many available affinity tag systems. In this study, we developed a novel affinity tag called the "RAP tag" system, which comprises a mouse antirat podoplanin monoclonal antibody (clone PMab-2) and the RAP tag (DMVNPGLEDRIE). This system is useful not only for protein detection in Western blotting, flow cytometry, and sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, but also for protein purification.

Dual-Functional-Tag-Facilitated Protein Labeling and Immobilization.

Project description:An important strategy in the construction of biomimetic membranes and devices is to use natural proteins as the functional components for incorporation in a polymeric or nanocomposite matrix. Toward this goal, an important step is to immobilize proteins with high efficiency and precision without disrupting the protein function. Here, we developed a dual-functional tag containing histidine and the non-natural amino acid azidohomoalanine (AHA). AHA is metabolically incorporated into the protein, taking advantage of the Met-tRNA and Met-tRNA synthetase. Histidine in the tag can facilitate metal-affinity purification, whereas AHA can react with an alkyne-functionalized probe or surface via well-established click chemistry. We tested the performance of the tag using two model proteins, green fluorescence protein and an enzyme pyrophosphatase. We found that the addition of the tag and the incorporation of AHA did not significantly impair the properties of these proteins, and the histidine-AHA tag can facilitate protein purification, immobilization, and labeling.
