An application of diagonal electrophoresis to the selective purification of serine phosphate peptides. Serine phosphate peptides from ovalbumin.

ABSTRACT: A diagonal-electrophoresis method for the selective purification of serine phosphate peptides was applied to tryptic, chymotryptic and peptic digests of oxidized ovalbumin. This method is based on the release of the phosphate group bound to serine by treatment with alkaline phosphatase on paper. The identified serine phosphate peptides were purified by paper electrophoresis at pH6.5 and 2.0, dephosphorylation with bacterial alkaline phosphatase, and paper electrophoresis at pH2.0 again, in that order. The presence of two groups of serine phosphate peptides was apparent from the amino acid composition. One group contained no lysine, cysteic acid, proline, leucine or isoleucine (sequence 1) and the other had all those amino acids (sequence 2). Further degradation with subtilisin of those peptides and ;dansyl'-Edman sequence analysis established their partial sequences. The proposed sequences are as follows (with ;SerP' representing serine phosphate): sequence 1, -Ala-Gly-Arg-Glu-Val-Val-Gly-SerP-Ala-Glu-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val-Ala-Ala-Ser-(Val,Glx(2),Ser,Phe)-Arg-; sequence 2, -Asp-Lys-Leu-Pro-Gly-Phe-Gly-Asp-SerP-Ile-Glx-Ala-Glx-CySO(3)H-Gly-(Thr,Ser,Val)-(Asp,His,Val)-. The partial sequence of one of the phosphopeptides, Asp-(Glu,Ile,SerP), reported by Flavin (1954) was used to establish the proposed sequence 2.

A diagonal electrophoretic method for selective purification of methionine peptides.

Project description:1. A method is described that selectively purifies methionine peptides from enzymic digests of a protein. The peptides, after paper electrophoresis, are treated on paper with iodoacetamide at acid pH. This specifically converts methionine residues into their sulphonium salts. When the paper is submitted to electrophoresis at right angles to the original direction, the carbamoylmethylmethionine peptides emerge from an undifferentiated diagonal. 2. Heating at neutral pH converts carbamoylmethylmethionine into homoserine and thereby specifically cleaves the peptides. 3. The effect of the modifications on amino acid composition and sequence analyses of the peptides was studied. 4. When the method was applied to a tryptic digest of S-aminoethyl-chymotrypsinogen A, two peptides were selectively purified that had the expected amino acid sequence.

Genetic incorporation of 4-fluorohistidine into peptides enables selective affinity purification.

Project description:Due to the lowered pKa of 4-fluorohistidine relative to histidine, peptides and proteins containing this amino acid are potentially endowed with novel properties. We report here the optimized synthesis of 4-fluorohistidine and show that it can efficiently replace histidine in in vitro translation reactions. Moreover, peptides containing 6×-fluorohistidine tags are able to be selectively captured and eluted from nickel resin in the presence of his-tagged protein mixtures.

Selective purification of the thiol peptides of myosin.

Project description:1. A method for selective purification of thiol peptides is described. Thiol groups in a protein are treated with radioactive cystine by disulphide-thiol interchange. The labelled cystine peptides in a digest can then be fractionated for peptide ;maps'. Performic acid oxidation of paper strips containing the radioactive peptides followed by further ionophoresis yields the purified cysteic acid peptides. 2. The thiol peptides in a peptic digest of cystine-exchanged myosin were purified in this way, and their amino acid sequences were determined. 3. The conclusion that myosin contains at least 16, and probably between 20 and 22, unique thiol sequences indicates that the molecule consists of two chemically equivalent components.

Selective purification of recombinant neuroactive peptides using the flagellar type III secretion system.

Project description:UNLABELLED:The structure, assembly, and function of the bacterial flagellum involves about 60 different proteins, many of which are selectively secreted via a specific type III secretion system (T3SS) (J. Frye et al., J. Bacteriol. 188:2233-2243, 2006). The T3SS is reported to secrete proteins at rates of up to 10,000 amino acid residues per second. In this work, we showed that the flagellar T3SS of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium could be manipulated to export recombinant nonflagellar proteins through the flagellum and into the surrounding medium. We translationally fused various neuroactive peptides and proteins from snails, spiders, snakes, sea anemone, and bacteria to the flagellar secretion substrate FlgM. We found that all tested peptides of various sizes were secreted via the bacterial flagellar T3SS. We subsequently purified the recombinant ?-conotoxin SIIIA (rSIIIA) from Conus striatus by affinity chromatography and confirmed that T3SS-derived rSIIIA inhibited mammalian voltage-gated sodium channel Na(V)1.2 comparably to chemically synthesized SIIIA. IMPORTANCE:Manipulation of the flagellar secretion system bypasses the problems of inclusion body formation and cellular degradation that occur during conventional recombinant protein expression. This work serves as a proof of principle for the use of engineered bacterial cells for rapid purification of recombinant neuroactive peptides and proteins by exploiting secretion via the well-characterized flagellator type III secretion system.

Serine-Selective Bioconjugation.

Project description:This Communication reports the first general method for rapid, chemoselective, and modular functionalization of serine residues in native polypeptides, which uses a reagent platform based on the P(V) oxidation state. This redox-economical approach can be used to append nearly any kind of cargo onto serine, generating a stable, benign, and hydrophilic phosphorothioate linkage. The method tolerates all other known nucleophilic functional groups of naturally occurring proteinogenic amino acids. A variety of applications can be envisaged by this expansion of the toolbox of site-selective bioconjugation methods.

Single-Step Purification of Ovalbumin from Egg White Using Aqueous Biphasic Systems.

Project description:The ability of aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) composed of polyethylene glycols of different molecular weights (PEG 400, 600 and 1000) and buffered aqueous solutions of potassium citrate/citric acid (pH = 5.0 - 8.0) to selectively extract ovalbumin from egg white was here investigated. Phase diagrams, tie-lines and tie-line lengths were determined at 25ºC and the partitioning of ovalbumin in these systems was then evaluated. Aiming at optimizing the selective extraction of ovalbumin in the studied ABS, factors such as pH, PEG molecular weight and amount of the phase-forming components were initially investigated with pure commercial ovalbumin. In almost all ABS, it was observed a preferential partitioning of ovalbumin to the polymer-rich phase, with extraction efficiencies higher than 90%. The best ABS were then applied in the purification of ovalbumin from the real egg white matrix. In order to ascertain on the ovalbumin purity and yield, sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) analyses were conducted, confirming that the isolation/purification of ovalbumin from egg white was completely achieved in a single-step with a recovery yield of 65%. The results obtained show that polymer-salt-based ABS allow the selective extraction of ovalbumin from egg white with a simpler approach and better performance than previously reported. Finally, it is shown that ovalbumin can be completely recovered from the PEG-rich phase by an induced precipitation using an inexpensive and sustainable separation platform which can be easily applied on an industrial scale.

Purification, Characterization, and Application for Preparation of Antioxidant Peptides of Extracellular Protease from Pseudoalteromonas sp. H2.

Project description:The study reported on the isolation of a metalloprotease named EH2 from Pseudoalteromonas sp. H2. EH2 maintained more than 80% activity over a wide pH range of 5-10, and the stability was also nearly independent of pH. Over 65% activity was detected at a wide temperature range of 20-70 °C. The high stability of the protease in the presence of different surfactants and oxidizing agents was also observed. Moreover, we also investigated the antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates generated from porcine and salmon skin collagen by EH2. The results showed that salmon skin collagen hydrolysates demonstrated higher DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) (42.88% ± 1.85) and hydroxyl radical (61.83% ± 3.05) scavenging activity than porcine skin collagen. For oxygen radical absorbance capacity, the hydrolysates from porcine skin collagen had higher efficiency (7.72 ± 0.13 ?mol·TE/?mol). Even 1 nM mixed peptides could effectively reduce the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species. The two types of substrates exerted the best antioxidant activity when hydrolyzed for 3 h. The hydrolysis time and type of substrate exerted important effects on the antioxidant properties of hydrolysates. The hydrolyzed peptides from meat collagens by proteases have good antioxidant activity, which may have implications for the potential application of marine proteases in the biocatalysis industry.

Human IgA-binding peptides selected from random peptide libraries: affinity maturation and application in IgA purification.

Project description:Phage display system is a powerful tool to design specific ligands for target molecules. Here, we used disulfide-constrained random peptide libraries constructed with the T7 phage display system to isolate peptides specific to human IgA. The binding clones (A1-A4) isolated by biopanning exhibited clear specificity to human IgA, but the synthetic peptide derived from the A2 clone exhibited a low specificity/affinity (K(d) = 1.3 μm). Therefore, we tried to improve the peptide using a partial randomized phage display library and mutational studies on the synthetic peptides. The designed Opt-1 peptide exhibited a 39-fold higher affinity (K(d) = 33 nm) than the A2 peptide. An Opt-1 peptide-conjugated column was used to purify IgA from human plasma. However, the recovered IgA fraction was contaminated with other proteins, indicating nonspecific binding. To design a peptide with increased binding specificity, we examined the structural features of Opt-1 and the Opt-1-IgA complex using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water. The simulation results revealed that the Opt-1 peptide displayed partial helicity in the N-terminal region and possessed a hydrophobic cluster that played a significant role in tight binding with IgA-Fc. However, these hydrophobic residues of Opt-1 may contribute to nonspecific binding with other proteins. To increase binding specificity, we introduced several mutations in the hydrophobic residues of Opt-1. The resultant Opt-3 peptide exhibited high specificity and high binding affinity for IgA, leading to successful isolation of IgA without contamination.

Application of peptides with an affinity for phospholipid membranes during the automated purification of extracellular vesicles.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes, have garnered increasing interest because of their potential clinical applications that range from diagnostics to therapeutics. The development of an automated and reproducible EV purification platform would therefore aid the introduction of EV biomarkers and therapies into the clinic. Here, we demonstrate that K8- as well as K-16 peptides (containing 8 and 16 lysine residues with dissociation constants of 102 nM and 11.6 nM for phosphatidylserine, respectively) immobilized on magnetic beads can capture small EVs (< 0.2 µm) from culture supernatants of MCF7 human breast cancer cells. Importantly, the bound EVs could be dissociated from the beads under mild conditions (e.g. 0.5 M NaCl), and the isolated EVs had the typical shapes of EVs under SEM and TEM with a mean particle size of 99 nm. Using the peptide-immobilized beads, we adapted a pre-existing bench top instrument for magnetic separation to perform automated EV purification with higher purity and yield than that obtained using the standard ultracentrifugation method.

Thermostabilization of ovalbumin by alkaline treatment: Examination of the possible roles of D-serine residues.

Project description:It was revealed from the crystal structure analysis of S-ovalbumin (S-OVA) formed by alkaline treatment that Ser164, Ser236, and Ser320 take the D-amino acid residue configuration (Yamasaki et al., J Biol Chem 2003; 278:35524-35530). To address the implications of a D-configuration for these Ser residues in S-OVA formation, three mutant OVAs (S164A, S236A, and S320A) were generated to compare their thermostabilities before and after alkaline treatment. Following alkaline treatment, S236A showed a marked increase in melting temperature similar to the wild type (DeltaT(m), +9 degrees C) which corresponded to the formation of S-OVA, whereas the increment in T(m) for both S164A and S320A was only 4.5 degrees C. Furthermore, the T(m) value of the double mutant S164/320A remained unchanged after alkaline treatment, supporting the relevance of Ser164 and Ser320 for thermostabilization of OVA. As Arg142 was predicted to interact with D-Ser164 upon S-OVA formation, it was substituted to Ala to generate R142A. The resulting increment in T(m) of mutant R142A after alkaline treatment was 5.8 degrees C. The double mutant R142/S320A was therefore prepared to eliminate the participation of Ser320 in thermostabilization, and its T(m) value was compared before and after alkaline treatment. As expected, the increase in T(m) for the double mutant was only 1.2 degrees C. Taken together, the data suggest that D-configuration of Ser164 caused by alkaline treatment favors interaction with Arg142 through conformational changes of the side chain. These results strongly supported the participation of the configurational inversion of both Ser164 and Ser320 residues in the formation of S-OVA.
