J Biosci Bioeng 2023; 136:423-429. [PMID: 37805288 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2023.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
Several fusion tags have been developed for non-chromatographic fusion protein purification. Previously, we identified that human annexin A1 as a novel N-terminal purification tag was used for purifying the fusion proteins produced in Escherichia coli through precipitation in 10 mM Ca2+ buffer, and redissolution of the precipitate in 15 mM EDTA buffer. In this work, we selected four metal-dependent enzymes including E. coli 5-aminolevulinate dehydratase, yeast 3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase, maize serine racemase and copper amine oxidase for investigating the annexin A1 tag applicability. Fusion of the His6-tag or the enzyme changed the behavior of precipitation-redissolution. The relatively high recovery yields of three tagged enzymes with the improved purities were obtained through two rounds of purification, whereas low recovery yield of the annexin A1 tagged maize amine oxidase was prepared. The added EDTA displayed different abilities to redissolve the fusion proteins precipitates in two precipitation-redissolution cycles. It inactivated three enzymes and obviously inhibited the activity of the fused maize serine racemase. Based on current findings, we believe that four enzymes could be applied for evaluating applicability of the proteins or peptides as affinity tags for chromatographic purification in a calcium dependent manner.

Opportunities and challenges of the tag-assisted protein purification techniques: Applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Biotechnol Adv 2020; 45:107653. [PMID: 33157154 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2020.107653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Revised: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Tag-assisted protein purification is a method of choice for both academic researches and large-scale industrial demands. Application of the purification tags in the protein production process can help to save time and cost, but the design and application of tagged fusion proteins are challenging. An appropriate tagging strategy must provide sufficient expression yield and high purity for the final protein products while preserving their native structure and function. Thanks to the recent advances in the bioinformatics and emergence of high-throughput techniques (e.g. SEREX), many new tags are introduced to the market. A variety of interfering and non-interfering tags have currently broadened their application scope beyond the traditional use as a simple purification tool. They can take part in many biochemical and analytical features and act as solubility and protein expression enhancers, probe tracker for online visualization, detectors of post-translational modifications, and carrier-driven tags. Given the variability and growing number of the purification tags, here we reviewed the protein- and peptide-structured purification tags used in the affinity, ion-exchange, reverse phase, and immobilized metal ion affinity chromatographies. We highlighted the demand for purification tags in the pharmaceutical industry and discussed the impact of self-cleavable tags, aggregating tags, and nanotechnology on both the column-based and column-free purification techniques.

Abstract
The area of fluorinated amino acid synthesis has seen rapid growth over the past decade. As reports of singly fluorinated natural amino acid derivatives have grown, researchers have turned their attention to develop methodology to access complex proteinogenic examples. A variety of reaction conditions have been employed in this area, exploiting new advances in the wider synthetic community such as photocatalysis and palladium cross-coupling. In addition, novel fluorinated functional groups have also been incorporated into amino acids, with SFX and perfluoro moieties now appearing with more frequency in the literature. This review focuses on synthetic methodology for accessing complex non-proteinogenic amino acids, along with amino acids containing multiple fluorine atoms such as CF3, SF5 and perfluoroaromatic groups.

Abstract
The development of small protein tags that exhibit bioorthogonality, bond stability, and reversibility, as well as biocompatibility, holds great promise for applications in cellular environments enabling controlled drug delivery or for the construction of dynamic protein complexes in biological environments. Herein, we report the first application of dynamic covalent chemistry both for purification and for reversible assembly of protein conjugates using interactions of boronic acid with diols and salicylhydroxamates. Incorporation of the boronic acid (BA) tag was performed in a site-selective fashion by applying disulfide rebridging strategy. As an example, a model protein enzyme (lysozyme) was modified with the BA tag and purified using carbohydrate-based column chromatography. Subsequent dynamic covalent "click-like" bioconjugation with a salicylhydroxamate modified fluorescent dye (BODIPY FL) was accomplished while retaining its original enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Fusion expression provides an effective means for the biosynthesis of longer peptides in Escherichia coli. However, the commonly used fusion tags are primarily suitable for laboratory scale applications due to the high cost of commercial affinity resins. Herein, a novel approach exploiting hirudin as a multipurpose fusion tag in combination with tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease cleavage has been developed for the efficient and cost-effective production of a 43-amino acid model peptide lunasin in E. coli at preparative scale. A fusion gene which allows for lunasin to be N-terminally fused to the C-terminus of hirudin through a flexible linker comprising a TEV protease cleavage site was designed and cloned in a secretion vector pTASH. By cultivation in a 7-L bioreactor, the fusion protein was excreted into the culture medium at a high yield of ~380 mg/L, which was conveniently recovered and purified by inexpensive HP20 hydrophobic chromatography at a recovery rate of ~80%. After polishing and cleavage with TEV protease, the finally purified lunasin was obtained with ≥95% purity and yield of ~86 mg/L culture medium. Conclusively, this hirudin tagging strategy is powerful in the production of lunasin and could be applicable for the production of other peptides at preparative scale.

Abstract
Bottom-up fabrication of nanoscale materials has been a significant focus in materials science for expanding our technological frontiers. This assembly concept, however, is old news to biology — all living organisms fabricate themselves using bottom-up principles through a vast self-organizing system of incredibly complex biomolecules, a marvelous dynamic that we are still attempting to unravel. Can we use what we have gleaned from biology thus far to illuminate alternative strategies for designer nanomaterial manufacturing? In the present review article, new synthetic biology efforts toward using bacterial biofilms as platforms for the synthesis and secretion of programmable nanomaterials are described. Particular focus is given to self-assembling functional amyloids found in bacterial biofilms as re-engineerable modular nanomolecular components. Potential applications and existing challenges for this technology are also explored. This novel approach for repurposing biofilm systems will enable future technologies for using engineered living systems to grow artificial nanomaterials.

Abstract
The introduction of a mannose residue on carbon 3 of lithocholic acid gives rise to an asymmetric and rigid bolaamphiphilic molecule, which self-assembles in water to form elongated tubular aggregates with an outer diameter of about 20 nm. These tubular structures display a temporal evolution, where the average tube diameter decreases with time, which can be followed by time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering experiments. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy images collected as a function of time show that at short times after preparation tubular scrolls are formed via the rolling of layers, after which a complex transformation of the scrolls into single-walled tubules takes place. At long time scales, a further evolution occurs where the tubules both elongate and become narrower. The observed self-assembly confirms the tendency of bile acids and their derivatives to form supramolecular aggregates with an ordered packing of the constituent molecules. It also demonstrates that scrolls can be formed as intermediate structures in the self-assembly process of monodisperse single-walled tubules.

Abstract
The purification of recombinant proteins by affinity chromatography is one of the most efficient strategies due to the high recovery yields and purity achieved. However, this is dependent on the availability of specific affinity adsorbents for each particular target protein. The diversity of proteins to be purified augments the complexity and number of specific affinity adsorbents needed, and therefore generic platforms for the purification of recombinant proteins are appealing strategies. This justifies why genetically encoded affinity tags became so popular for recombinant protein purification, as these systems only require specific ligands for the capture of the fusion protein through a pre-defined affinity tag tail. There is a wide range of available affinity pairs "tag-ligand" combining biological or structural affinity ligands with the respective binding tags. This review gives a general overview of the well-established "tag-ligand" systems available for fusion protein purification and also explores current unconventional strategies under development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional fluorescent proteins, such as GFP, its derivatives and flavin mononucleotide based fluorescent proteins (FbFPs) are often used as fusion tags for detecting recombinant proteins during cultivation. These reporter tags are state-of-the-art; however, they have some drawbacks, which can make on-line monitoring challenging. It is discussed in the literature that the large molecular size of proteins of the GFP family may stress the host cell metabolism during production. In addition, fluorophore formation of GFP derivatives is oxygen-dependent resulting in a lag-time between expression and fluorescence detection and the maturation of the protein is suppressed under oxygen-limited conditions. On the contrary, FbFPs are also applicable in an oxygen-limited or even anaerobic environment but are still quite large (58% of the size of GFP). RESULTS As an alternative to common fluorescent tags we developed five novel tags based on clustered tryptophan residues, called W-tags. They are only 5-11% of the size of GFP. Based on the property of tryptophan to fluoresce in absence of oxygen it is reasonable to assume that the functionality of our W-tags is also given under anaerobic conditions. We fused these W-tags to a recombinant protein model, the anti-CD30 receptor single-chain fragment variable antibody (scFv) Ki-4(scFv) and the anti-MucI single-chain fragment variable M12(scFv). During cultivation in Microtiter plates, the overall tryptophan fluorescence intensity of all cultures was measured on-line for monitoring product formation via the different W-tags. After correlation of the scattered light signal representing biomass concentration and tryptophan fluorescence for the uninduced cultures, the fluorescence originating from the biomass was subtracted from the overall tryptophan signal. The resulting signal, thus, represents the product fluorescence of the tagged and untagged antibody fragments. The product fluorescence signal was increased. Antibodies with W-tags generated stronger signals than the untagged construct. CONCLUSIONS Our low-molecular-weight W-tags can be used to monitor the production of antibody fragments on-line. The binding specificity of the recombinant fusion protein is not affected, even though the binding activity decreases slightly with increasing number of tryptophan residues in the W-tags. Thus, the newly designed W-tags offer a versatile and generally applicable alternative to current fluorescent fusion tags.

Abstract
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is a key technique for protein separation and purification. Different methodologies to estimate the hydrophobicity of a protein are reviewed, which have been related to the chromatographic behavior of proteins in HIC. These methodologies consider either knowledge of the three-dimensional structure or the amino acid composition of proteins. Despite some restrictions; they have proven to be useful in predicting protein retention time in HIC.

Abstract
High-throughput screening assays of native and recombinant proteins are increasingly crucial in life science research, including fields such as drug screening and enzyme engineering. These assays are typically highly parallel, and require minute amounts of purified protein per assay. To address this need, we have developed a rapid, automated microscale process for isolating specific proteins from sub-microlitre volumes of E. Coli cell lysate. Recombinant proteins are genetically tagged to drive partitioning into the PEG-rich phase of a flowing aqueous two-phase system, which removes approximately 85% of contaminating proteins, as well as unwanted nucleic acids and cell debris, on a simple microfluidic device. Inclusion of the genetic tag roughly triples recovery of the autofluorescent protein AcGFP1, and also significantly improves recovery of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST), from nearly zero recovery for the wild-type enzyme, up to 40% with genetic tagging. The extraction process operates continuously, with only a single step from cell lysate to purified protein, and does not require expensive affinity reagents or troublesome chromatographic steps. The two-phase system is mild and does not disrupt protein function, as evidenced by recovery of active enzymes and functional fluorescent protein from our microfluidic process. The microfluidic aqueous two-phase extraction forms the core component of an integrated lab-on-a-chip device comprising cell culture, lysis, purification and analysis on a single device.

Abstract
Two-component triblock magnetic nanorods with gold end blocks and nickel interior blocks have been synthesized and used as affinity templates for the simultaneous and efficient separation of a three-component protein mixture. The gold blocks were selectively functionalized with 11-amino-1-undecanethiol, and then glutaraldehyde was used to covalently attach nitrostreptavidin to them. His-tagged proteins bind to the nickel block and biotin-tagged proteins bind to the functionalized gold ends, allowing one to separate a mixture of three proteins with a single material. Each surface-bound protein can be released selectively using imidazole for the His-tagged protein and biotin for the biotinylated protein.

Abstract
This paper reports an improvement in the purification of thioredoxin (Trx) expressed from E. coli by inverse transition cycling (ITC) using cationic elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs). Two ELP libraries having 2% and 5% lysine residues and molecular weights ranging from 4 to 61.1 kDa showed greater salt sensitivity in their inverse transition behavior than purely aliphatic ELPs. Expression yield of Trx-ELP fusions was an unpredictable function of guest residue composition, but reducing the molecular weight of the ELP tag generally increased Trx yield. A cationic 4.3 kDa ELP is the shortest ELP used to purify any protein by ITC to date. A 15.9 kDa ELP with a guest residue composition of K:V:F of 1:7:1 was found to be the optimal cationic tag to purify Trx, as it provided 50% greater Trx yield and only required one-fifth the added NaCl for purification of Trx as compared to previously used aliphatic ELP tags.

Abstract
This paper gives a summary of different aspects for predicting protein behaviour in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). First, a brief description of HIC, hydrophobic interactions, amino acid and protein hydrophobicity is presented. After that, several factors affecting protein chromatographic behaviour in HIC are described. Finally, different approaches for predicting protein retention time in HIC are shown. Using all this information, it could be possible to carry out computational experiments by varying the different operating conditions for the purification of a target protein; and then selecting the best conditions in silico and designing a rational protein purification process involving an HIC step.

Abstract
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is an important technique for protein purification, which exploits the separation of proteins based on hydrophobic interactions between the stationary phase ligands and hydrophobic regions on the protein surface. One way of enhancing the purification efficiency by HIC is the addition of short sequences of peptide tags to the target protein by genetic engineering, which could reduce the need for extra and expensive chromatographic steps. In the present work, a methodology for predicting retention times of cutinases tagged with hydrophobic peptides in HIC is presented. Cutinase from Fusarium solani pisi fused to tryptophan-proline (WP) tags, namely (WP)2 and (WP)4, and produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, were used as model proteins. From the simulations, the methodology based on tagged hydrophobic definition proposed by Simeonidis et al. (Phitagged), associated to a quadratic model for predicting dimensionless retention times, showed small differences (RMSE<0.022) between observed and estimated retention times. The difference between observed and calculated retention times being lower than 2.0% (RMSE<0.022) for the two tagged cutinases at three different stationary phases, except for the case of cut_(wp)2 in octyl sepharose-2 M ammonium sulphate. Therefore, we consider that the proposed strategy, based on tagged surface hydrophobicity, allows prediction of acceptable retention times of cutinases tagged with hydrophobic peptides in HIC.

Abstract
Reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has become the method of choice for the purification of peptides and small proteins (M(r) < 10,000 Da) from natural sources. The technique combines high resolution and recovery with ease and speed of operation and is applicable to a wide range of peptides with different physicochemical properties. This protocol describes procedures for (1) the extraction of a biologically active peptide from animal tissue, (2) concentration of the extracts and partial purification on Sep-Pak cartridges, and (3) purification to near homogeneity on a range of silica-based HPLC columns. Standard operating procedures involve acetonitrile as organic modifier, trifluoroacetic acid as ion-pairing reagent and sequential chromatographies on octadecyl (C18), butyl (C4) and diphenyl wide-pore (300 A) columns under gradient elution conditions. The limiting factor in the time taken to isolate a peptide is usually the speed at which assays to detect the peptide can be performed, but purifications can generally be accomplished within 1 or 2 weeks.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-degrading microorganisms express a repertoire of hydrolytic enzymes that act in synergy on plant cell wall and other natural polysaccharides to elicit the degradation of often-recalcitrant substrates. These enzymes, particularly those that hydrolyze cellulose and hemicellulose, have a complex molecular architecture comprising discrete modules which are normally joined by relatively unstructured linker sequences. This structure is typically comprised of a catalytic module and one or more carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) that bind to the polysaccharide. CBMs, by bringing the biocatalyst into intimate and prolonged association with its substrate, allow and promote catalysis. Based on their properties, CBMs are grouped into 43 families that display substantial variation in substrate specificity, along with other properties that make them a gold mine for biotechnologists who seek natural molecular "Velcro" for diverse and unusual applications. In this article, we review recent progress in the field of CBMs and provide an up-to-date summary of the latest developments in CBM applications.

Abstract
The meaning of the word affinity in the context of protein separation has undergone evolutionary changes over the years. The exploitation of molecular recognition phenomenon is no longer limited to affinity chromatography modes. Affinity based separations today include precipitation, membrane based purification and two-phase/three-phase extractions. Apart from the affinity ligands, which have biological relationship (in vivo) with the target protein, a variety of other ligands are now used in the affinity based separations. These include dyes, chelated metal ions, peptides obtained by phage display technology, combinatorial synthesis, ribosome display methods and by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Molecular modeling techniques have also facilitated the designing of biomimetic ligands. Fusion proteins obtained by recombinatorial methods have emerged as a powerful approach in bioseparation. Overexpression in E. coli often result in inactive and insoluble inclusion bodies. A number of interesting approaches are used for simultaneous refolding and purification in such cases. Proteomics also needs affinity chromatography to reduce the complexity of the system before analysis by electrophoresis and mass spectrometry are made. At industrial level, validation, biosafety and process hygiene are also important aspects. This overview looks at these evolving paradigms and various strategies which utilize affinity phenomenon for protein separations.

Abstract
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is an important technique for the purification of proteins. In this paper, we review three different approaches for predicting protein retention time in HIC, based either on a protein's structure or on its amino-acidic composition, and we have extended one of these approaches. The first approach correlates the protein retention time in HIC with the protein average surface hydrophobicity. This methodology is based on the protein three-dimensional structure data and considers the hydrophobic contribution of the exposed amino acid residues as a weighted average. The second approach, which we have extended, is based on the high correlation level between the average surface hydrophobicity of a protein's hydrophobic interacting zone and its retention time in HIC. Finally, a third approach carries out a prediction of the average surface hydrophobicity of a protein, using only its amino-acidic composition, without knowing its three-dimensional structure. These models would make it possible to test different operating conditions for the purification of a target protein by computer simulations, and thus make it easier to select the optimal conditions, contributing to the rational design and optimization of the process.
