Analytical purification of a 60-kDa target protein of artemisinin detected in Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

ABSTRACT: Here we describe the isolation and purity determination of Trypanosoma brucei (T. b.) brucei candidate target proteins of artemisinin. The candidate target proteins were detected and purified from their biological source (T. b. brucei lysate) using the diazirine-free biotinylated probe 5 for an affinity binding to a streptavidin-tagged resin and, subsequently, the labeled target proteins were purified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). We herein showed the electrophoresis gel and the immunoblotting film containing the 60-kDa trypanosomal candidate target protein of artemisinin as a single band, which was visualized on-gel by the reverse-staining method and on a Western blotting film by enhanced chemiluminescence. The data provided in this article are related to the original research article "Biotinylated probes of artemisinin with labeling affinity toward Trypanosoma brucei brucei target proteins", by Konziase (Anal. Biochem., vol. 482, 2015, pp. 25-31. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ab.2015.04.020).
