Abstract

Tandem immunoaffinity and conventional high-performance liquid chromatography columns, coupled with a switching valve, were used for the analysis of single and multicomponent antigen samples. Immunoaffinity columns were prepared by hydrophobic adsorption or covalent immobilization of poly- or monoclonal antibodies on macroporous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) packing materials. Capacities of these columns were constant through at least 77 cycles. Macromolecular antigens were analyzed at submicrogram levels. Antigens bound to the immunoaffinity column were desorbed and concentrated on a conventional analytical column. Gradient elution on the analytical column separated the desorbed antigen(s) from interfering species and permitted the analysis of all species which bound to the immunoaffinity column. Immunological-chromatographic analysis was useful for purification and discrimination of polypeptides of similar three dimensional structures, such as several lysozyme variants.

Carbohydrate-recognition domains of galectin-9 are involved in intermolecular interaction with galectin-9 itself and other members of the galectin family.

Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a tandem-repeat-type member of the galectin family associated with diverse biological processes, such as apoptosis, cell aggregation, and eosinophil chemoattraction. Although the detailed sugar-binding specificity of Gal-9 has been elucidated, molecular mechanisms that underlie these functions remain to be investigated. During the course of our binding study by affinity chromatography and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis, we found that human Gal-9 interacts with immobilized Gal-9 in the protein-protein interaction mode. Interestingly, this intermolecular interaction strongly depended on the activity of the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), because the addition of potent saccharide inhibitors abolished the binding. The presence of multimers was also confirmed by Ferguson plot analysis of result of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). Moreover, this intermolecular interaction was observed between Gal-9 and other galectin members, such as Gal-3 and Gal-8, but not Gal-1. Because such properties have not been reported yet, they may explain an unidentified mechanism underlying the diverse functions of Gal-9.

Effects of salts on protein-surface interactions: applications for column chromatography.

Development of protein pharmaceuticals depends on the availability of high quality proteins. Various column chromatographies are used to purify proteins and characterize the purity and properties of the proteins. Most column chromatographies require salts, whether inorganic or organic, for binding, elution or simply better recovery and resolution. The salts modulate affinity of the proteins for particular columns and nonspecific protein-protein or protein-surface interactions, depending on the type and concentration of the salts, in both specific and nonspecific manners. Salts also affect the binding capacity of the column, which determines the size of the column to be used. Binding capacity, whether equilibrium or dynamic (under an approximation of a slow flow rate), depends on the binding constant, protein concentration and the number of the binding site on the column as well as nonspecific binding. This review attempts to summarize the mechanism of the salt effects on binding affinity and capacity for various column chromatographies and on nonspecific protein-protein or protein-surface interactions. Understanding such salt effects should also be useful in preventing nonspecific protein binding to various containers.

Optimization of phosphopeptide elution conditions in immobilized Fe(III) affinity chromatography.

While immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) has been widely used for affinity purification of phosphopeptides, the technique suffers from insufficient specificity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for IMAC optimization to yield the selectivity and sensitivity that is required for more challenging analyses. Recently, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and phosphoric acid mixture has been reported as an efficient IMAC eluant. The disadvantage of DHB is that is not suitable for electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. While further developing the IMAC elution protocol to overcome this problem, we noticed that DHB is not necessary and found a novel combination of phosphoric acid and acetonitrile to be more efficient. The purification efficacy of the novel protocol is superior to all previously described methods, while still being compatible with the most commonly used mass-spectrometric techniques in phosphoproteomics.
