Abstract
The formation of inclusion bodies in bacterial hosts poses a major challenge for the large-scale recovery of bioactive proteins. The process of obtaining bioactive protein from inclusion bodies is labor intensive, and the yields of recombinant protein are often low. Here, we describe a novel method for the renaturation and purification of inclusion bodies. This method combines a scFv-oligopeptide chaperoning system and an on-column refolding system to help refold human muscle creatine kinase (HCK) inclusion bodies. This method could significantly increase the activity recovery of denatured HCK inclusion bodies and provides an effective method for the production of bioactive proteins from inclusion bodies.

Abstract
Placenta specific -1 (PLAC1) has been recently introduced as a small membrane-associated protein mainly involved in placental development. Expression of PLAC1 transcript has been documented in almost one hundred cancer cell lines standing for fourteen distinct cancer types. The presence of two disulfide bridges makes difficult to produce functional recombinant PLAC1 in soluble form with high yield. This limitation also complicates the structural studies of PLAC1, which is important for prediction of its physiological roles. To address this issue, we employed an expression matrix consisting of two expression vectors, five different E. coli hosts and five solubilization conditions to optimize production of full and truncated forms of human PLAC1. The recombinant proteins were then characterized using an anti-PLAC1-specific antibody in Western blotting (WB) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Structure of full length protein was also investigated using circular dichroism (CD). We demonstrated the combination of Origami™ and pCold expression vector to yield substantial amount of soluble truncated PLAC1 without further need for solubilization step. Full length PLAC1, however, expressed mostly as inclusion bodies with higher yield in Origami™ and Rosetta2. Among solubilization buffers examined, buffer containing Urea 2 M, pH 12 was found to be more effective. Recombinant proteins exhibited excellent reactivity as detected by ELISA and WB. The secondary structure of full length PLAC1 was considered by CD spectroscopy. Taken together, we introduced here a simple, affordable and efficient expression system for soluble PLAC1 production.

Abstract
Anionic tobacco peroxidase (TOP) is extremely active in chemiluminescence reaction of luminol oxidation without addition of enhancers and more stable than horseradish peroxidase under antibody conjugation conditions. In addition, recombinant TOP (rTOP) produced in Escherichia coli is known to be a perfect direct electron transfer catalyst on electrodes of various origin. These features make the task of development of a high-yield reactivation protocol for rTOP practically important. Previous attempts to reactivate the enzyme from E. coli inclusion bodies were successful, but the reported reactivation yield was only 14%. In this work, we thoroughly screened the refolding conditions for dilution protocol and compared it with gel-filtration chromatography. The impressive reactivation yield in the dilution protocol (85%) was achieved for 8 μg/mL solubilized rTOP protein and the refolding medium containing 0.3 mM oxidized glutathione, 0.05 mM dithiothreitol, 5 mM CaCl2, 5% glycerol in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 9.6, with 1 μM hemin added at the 24th hour of incubation. A practically important discovery was a 30-40% increase in the reactivation yield upon delayed addition of hemin. The reactivation yield achieved is one of the highest reported in the literature on protein refolding by dilution. The final yield of purified active non-glycosylated rTOP was ca. 60 mg per L of E. coli culture, close to the yield reported before for tomato and tobacco plants overexpressing glycosylated TOP (60 mg/kg biomass) and much higher than for the previously reported refolding protocol (2.6 mg per L of E. coli culture).

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is an important factor in the progression
of inflammatory responses in vivo. To develop a new
anti-inflammatory drug to block the biological activity of ICAM-1, we produced a
monoclonal antibody (Ka=4.19×10−8 M) against human
ICAM-1. The anti-ICAM-1 single-chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) was expressed
at a high level as inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli. We refolded
the scFv (Ka=2.35×10−7 M) by ion-exchange chromatography,
dialysis, and dilution. The results showed that column chromatography refolding by
high-performance Q Sepharose had remarkable advantages over conventional dilution and
dialysis methods. Furthermore, the anti-ICAM-1 scFv yield of about 60 mg/L was higher
with this method. The purity of the final product was greater than 90%, as shown by
denaturing gel electrophoresis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cell culture, and
animal experiments were used to assess the immunological properties and biological
activities of the renatured scFv.

Abstract
Precipitation of alpha chymotrypsin in the simultaneous presence of ammonium sulphate and t-butanol (three phase partitioning) resulted in preparations which showed self aggregation of the enzyme molecules. Precipitation with increasing amounts of ammonium sulphate led to increasing size of aggregates. While light scattering estimated the hydrodynamic diameter of these aggregates in the range of 242-1124 nm; Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) gave the value as 130-462 nm. Scanning electron microscopy and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 showed extensive aggregation in these preparations. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the aggregates had irregular shapes. All the aggregates had about 3× higher catalytic activity than the native enzyme. These aggregates did not differ in λ(max) of fluorescence emission which was around 340 nm. However, all the aggregates showed higher fluorescence emission intensity. Far-UV and near-UV circular dichroism also showed no significant structural changes as compared to the native molecule. Interestingly, HPLC gel filtration (on a hydroxylated silica column) gave 14 nm as the diameter for all preparations. Light scattering of preparations in the presence of 10% ethylene glycol also dissociated the aggregates to monomers of 14 nm. Both these results indicated that hydrophobic interactions were the driving force behind this aggregation. These results indicate: (1) Even without any major structural change, three phase partitioning led to protein molecules becoming highly prone to aggregation. (2) Different methods gave widely different estimates of sizes of aggregates. It was however possible to reconcile the data obtained with various approaches. (3) The nature of the gel filtration column is crucial and use of this technique for refolding and studying aggregation needs a rethink.
