Abstract
His-tagging is the most widespread and versatile strategy used to purify recombinant proteins for biochemical and structural studies. Recombinant DNA methods are first used to engineer the addition of a short tract of poly-histidine tag (His-tag) to the N-terminus or C-terminus of a target protein. The His-tag is then exploited to enable purification of the "tagged" protein by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). In this chapter, we describe efficient procedures for the isolation of highly purified His-tagged target proteins from an Escherichia coli host using IMAC in a bind-wash-elute strategy that can be performed under both native and denaturing conditions.

Proteomics analysis of host cell proteins after immobilized metal affinity chromatography: Influence of ligand and metal ions. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1633:461649. [PMID: 33166743 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2020.461649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Different degrees of protein purity have been observed in immobilized metal affinity chromatography ranging from extremely high purity to moderate and low purity. It has been hypothesized that the host cell protein composition and the metal ligands are factors governing the purity of a protein obtained after immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Ni nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) has become the first choice for facile His-tagged protein purification, but alternative ligands such as iminodiacetic acid (IDA) with other immobilized metal ions such as Zn, Cu and Co are valuable options when the expected purity or binding capacity is not reached. Especially Cu and Zn are very attractive, due to their reduced environmental and safety concerns compared to Ni. Co and Zn are more selective than Ni and Cu. This increased selectivity comes at the cost of weaker binding. In this work, the influence of ligand choice on protein purity after IMAC was evaluated by several methods, including peptide mapping. His-tagged GFP was used as model protein. We found that host cell protein (HCP) content varies drastically between ligands, as IDA eluates generally showing higher HCP concentrations than NTA. The relative content of the key amino acids His, Cys and Trp in the sequence of the co-eluted protein does not suffice to explain co-eluting propensity. The co-elution of HCPs is mostly influenced by metal binding clusters on the protein surface and not by total content or surface concentration of metal interacting amino acids. Prediction of co-elution is not dependent on these clusters alone, due to protein-protein interactions, indicted by a relative low metal binding cluster score but high co-elution propensity and in a lot of cases these proteins are often part of complex such as ribosome and chaperones. The different co-eluting proteins were presented by a heatmap with a dendrogram. Ward's linkage method was used to calculate the distance between groups of co-eluting proteins. Clustering of co-eluting HCPs was observed according to ligand and by metal ions, with Zn and Co forming one cluster and Ni and Cu another. The co-elution of host cell proteins can be explained by clusters of metal interacting amino acids on the protein surface and by protein-protein interactions. While Ni NTA still appears to be highly advantageous, it might not be the cure-all for all applications.

Rapid affinity chromatographic isolation method for LDL in human plasma by immobilized chondroitin-6-sulfate and anti-apoB-100 antibody monolithic disks in tandem. Sci Rep 2019; 9:11235.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered the major risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs). A novel and rapid method for the isolation of LDL from human plasma was developed utilising affinity chromatography with monolithic stationary supports. The isolation method consisted of two polymeric monolithic disk columns, one immobilized with chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S) and the other with apolipoprotein B-100 monoclonal antibody (anti-apoB-100 mAb). The first disk with C6S was targeted to remove chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, and their remnants including intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) particles, thus allowing the remaining major lipoprotein species, i.e. LDL, lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to flow to the anti-apoB-100 disk. The second disk captured LDL particles via the anti-apoB-100 mAb attached on the disk surface in a highly specific manner, permitting the selective LDL isolation. The success of LDL isolation was confirmed by different techniques including quartz crystal microbalance. In addition, the method developed gave comparable results with ultracentrifugation, conventionally used as a standard method. The reliable results achieved together with a short isolation time (less than 30 min) suggest the method to be suitable for clinically relevant LDL functional assays.

Abstract
Affinity monolith chromatography, or AMC, is a liquid chromatographic method in which the support is a monolith and the stationary phase is a biological-binding agent or related mimic. AMC has become popular for the isolation of biochemicals, for the measurement of various analytes, and for studying biological interactions. This review will examine the principles and applications of AMC. The materials that have been used to prepare AMC columns will be discussed, which have included various organic polymers, silica, agarose, and cryogels. Immobilization schemes that have been used in AMC will also be considered. Various binding agents and applications that have been reported for AMC will then be described. These applications will include the use of AMC for bioaffinity chromatography, immunoaffinity chromatography, dye-ligand affinity chromatography, and immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography. The use of AMC with chiral stationary phases and as a tool to characterize biological interactions will also be examined.

Abstract
Affinity monolith chromatography (AMC) is a type of liquid chromatography that uses a monolithic support and a biologically related binding agent as a stationary phase. AMC is a powerful method for the selective separation, analysis, or study of specific target compounds in a sample. This review discusses the basic principles of AMC and recent developments and applications of this method, with particular emphasis being given to work that has appeared in the last 5 years. Various materials that have been used to prepare columns for AMC are examined, including organic monoliths, silica monoliths, agarose monoliths, and cryogels. These supports have been used in AMC for formats that have ranged from traditional columns to disks, microcolumns, and capillaries. Many binding agents have also been employed in AMC, such as antibodies, enzymes, proteins, lectins, immobilized metal ions, and dyes. Some applications that have been reported with these binding agents in AMC are bioaffinity chromatography, immunoaffinity chromatography or immunoextraction, immobilized-metal-ion affinity chromatography, dye-ligand affinity chromatography, chiral separations, and biointeraction studies. Examples are presented from fields that include analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical analysis, clinical testing, and biotechnology. Current trends and possible directions in AMC are also discussed.
