Published: February 2006

A strategy for purification of inclusion body-forming proteins is described, in which the positively charged domain Z(basic) is used as a fusion partner for capture of denatured proteins on a cation exchange column. It is shown that the purification tag is selective under denaturing conditions. Furthermore, the new strategy for purification of proteins from inclusion bodies is compared with the commonly used method for purification of His(6)-tagged inclusion body proteins. Finally, the simple and effective means of target protein capture provided by the Z(basic) tag is further successfully explored for solid-phase refolding. This procedure has the inherited advantage of combining purification and refolding in one step and offers the advantage of eluting the concentrated product in a suitable buffer.

Molecular chaperones assist in protein refolding by selectively binding to proteins in their nonnative states. Despite progress in creating artificial chaperones, these designs often have a limited range of substrates they can work with. In this paper, we present molecularly imprinted flexible polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) designed as customizable biomimetic chaperones.

Semaglutide is currently the most promising antidiabetic drug, especially for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, due to its excellent efficacy in glycemic control and weight loss. However, the production of semaglutide remains high cost, and high yield, low cost, and high purity still remains a challenge. Herein, we reported a convenient and high-yield strategy for the preparation of semaglutide through fragmented condensation coupling, involving solid-phase peptide synthesis of tetrapeptide and on-column refolding and on-column enzyme cleavage based inclusion body expression of LysArgGLP-1 (11-37) with fused protein tags in an X-Y-D4K-G pattern.

Synthesis of the extracellular domain of GLP-1R by chemical and biotechnological approaches.

The extracellular domain of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, GLP-1R, is responsible for the binding of GLP-1, and a handful of additional agonists (such as exenatide, lixisenatide, and liraglutide) used daily for treating type II diabetes mellitus. Lead discovery and optimization, however, require binding studies, which, in turn, necessitate the total synthesis of GLP-1R, comprising 108 residues. A protein domain of 10-15 kDa size could be obtained either by expression in or by ligating solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)-made fragments.

Smart Protein Refolding System Based on UCST-Type Ureido Polymers.

Department of Life Science and Technology, Tokyo Institute of Technology, 4259 Nagatsuta-cho, Midori-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 226-8501, Japan.

We have reported that ureido polymers exhibit upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type phase behavior in solution, which is the opposite of lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type behavior. Furthermore, UCST-type ureido polymers undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) upon cooling rather than the liquid-solid phase transition of the typical LCST-type polymers. In this study, ureido polymers with hydrophobic groups were prepared to evaluate the effects of cooling-induced LLPS of UCST-type polymers on refolding of proteins.

In this study, the effects of side-chain configurations of D-Ile residues of a retro-inverso (RI)-type inhibitor on the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) protease containing a hydroxyethylamine dipeptide isostere were clarified. Prior to evaluation using the RI-type inhibitor, the effects of side-chain configurations of Ile residues of the substrate peptide on the HTLV-1 protease were examined to estimate the influence of side-chain configurations on enzyme activity. Based on the estimation of the influence of side-chain configurations on protease affinity, the RI-type inhibitors containing a D-allo-Ile residue in the corresponding substrate sequence, instead of a D-Ile residue, were synthesized via 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-based solid-phase peptide synthesis.
