Abstract
Dye-ligand-based chromatography has become popular after Cibacron Blue, the first reactive textile dye, found application for protein purification. Many other textile dyes have since been successfully used to purify a number of proteins and enzymes. While the exact nature of their interaction with target proteins is often unclear, dye-ligands are thought to mimic the structural features of their corresponding substrates, cofactors, etc. The dye-ligand affinity matrices are therefore considered pseudo-affinity matrices. In addition, dye-ligands may simply bind with proteins due to electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions. Because of their low cost, ready availability, and structural stability, dye-ligand affinity matrices have gained much popularity. The choice of a large number of dye structures offers a range of matrices to be prepared and tested. When presented in the high-throughput screening mode, these dye-ligand matrices serve as a formidable tool for protein purification. One could pick from the list of dye-ligands already available or build a systematic library of such structures for use. A high-throughput screen may be set up to choose the best dye-ligand matrix as well as ideal conditions for binding and elution, for a given protein. The mode of operation could be either manual or automated. The technology is available to test the performance of dye-ligand matrices in small volumes in an automated liquid handling workstation. Screening a systematic library of dye-ligand structures can help establish a structure-activity relationship. While the origins of dye-ligand chromatography lie in exploiting pseudo-affinity, it is now possible to design very specific biomimetic dye structures. High-throughput screening will be of value in this endeavor as well.

Discriminatory protein binding by a library of 96 new affinity resins: a novel dye-affinity chromatography tool-kit. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2009; 877:3610-8.

Abstract
Initial acceptance of Cibacron Blue 3G-A based matrices has made dye-ligand affinity chromatography an attractive proposition. This prompted the synthesis and search for new dye structures. A systematic library of 96 affinity resins was generated using novel analogs of Cibacron Blue 3G-A and also by varying spacer lengths for immobilization. The library was tested in a batch binding and elution mode using seven different proteins--four Aspergillus enzymes namely, NADP-glutamate dehydrogenase, laccase, glutamine synthetase and arginase, bovine pancreatic trypsin and the two serum proteins human serum albumin and immunoglobulin G. Unique binding patterns were observed for each of them indicating that the library displayed discriminatory interactions. The significance of spacer length in the interaction with proteins was discernable. Trypsin interacted best with affinity resins that had no spacer. It was possible to resolve IgG and HSA from a mixture using a combination of resins. There was a good spread of HSA binding capacity in the 96 affinity resins. While some showed better HSA binding capacity than the commercial CB3GA-based matrix, a few with lower capacity were also observed. Subsequent to an initial screen, one affinity resin (CR-017) could be used to enrich Aspergillus terreus NADP-GDH from crude cell extracts. The efficacy of this dye-affinity resin was rationalized by characterizing NADP-GDH inhibition kinetics with the corresponding free dye ligand. In the sum, the library provides a set of dye-ligand affinity matrices with a potential for use in high throughput screening for protein purification.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2007; 848:108-15.

Abstract
The use of a dye-ligand chromatography for the purification of monoclonal antibody (MAb) from cell culture and other feed streams has been largely overlooked in large scale production. Cibracon Blue dye (CB), a polycyclic anionic ligand, interacts with protein through a specific interaction between the dye, acting as a mimic of NAD+ and NADP+, or through non-specific electrostatic, hydrophobic, and other forces. In this paper, a CB resin was used to effectively and efficiently separate an IgG4 MAb from host and process impurities following the capture of the MAb on a Protein-A (PA) column. The CB unit operation, challenged at </=180 g MAb/L of resin with the PA eluate, reduced BSA (1-2 log), host cell protein (HCP; 2-3 log), MAb oligomer (31-85%), fragment (from approximately 0.8% to <0.1%), and other undesired MAb species. Purity, as measured by non-reducing (NR) SDS-PAGE, was improved 33-85%, to 92-99.5% overall (>99% by reducing SDS-PAGE). A facile three column scalable production scheme, employing CB as the second column in the process was used to generate highly purified MAb from cell culture harvest derived from two media of very different compositions. Free CB dye was </=1 ng/mg in MAb preparations purified through the three column process and then concentrated and buffer exchanged into the appropriate buffer using tangential flow filtration (TFF).

Abstract
Cells of the actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica grown on glucose possess only a single, exclusively PP(i)-dependent phosphofructokinase (PP(i)-PFK) (A. M. C. R. Alves, G. J. W. Euverink, H. J. Hektor, J. van der Vlag, W. Vrijbloed, D.H.A. Hondmann, J. Visser, and L. Dijkhuizen, J. Bacteriol. 176:6827-6835, 1994). When this methylotrophic bacterium is grown on one-carbon (C(1)) compounds (e.g., methanol), an ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (ATP-PFK) activity is specifically induced, completely replacing the PP(i)-PFK. The two A. methanolica PFK isoenzymes have very distinct functions, namely, in the metabolism of C(6) and C(1) carbon substrates. This is the first report providing biochemical evidence for the presence and physiological roles of PP(i)-PFK and ATP-PFK isoenzymes in a bacterium. The novel ATP-PFK enzyme was purified to homogeneity and characterized in detail at the biochemical and molecular levels. The A. methanolica ATP-PFK and PP(i)-PFK proteins possess a low level of amino acid sequence similarity (24%), clearly showing that the two proteins are not the result of a gene duplication event. PP(i)-PFK is closely related to other (putative) actinomycete PFK enzymes. Surprisingly, the A. methanolica ATP-PFK is most similar to ATP-PFK from the protozoon Trypanosoma brucei and PP(i)-PFK proteins from the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and Treponema pallidum, both spirochetes, very distinct from actinomycetes. The data thus suggest that A. methanolica obtained the ATP-PFK-encoding gene via a lateral gene transfer event.

Abstract
The Aspergillus niger D-xylulose kinase encoding gene has been cloned by complementation of a strain deficient in D-xylulose kinase activity. Expression of xkiA was observed in the presence of L-arabinose, L-arabitol and D-xylose. Expression of xkiA is not mediated by XLNR, the xylose-dependent positively-acting xylanolytic regulator. Although the expression of xkiA is subject to carbon catabolite repression, the wide domain regulator CREA is not directly involved. The A. niger D-xylulose kinase was purified to homogeneity, and the molecular mass determined using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry agreed with the calculated molecular mass of 62816.6 Da. The activity of XKIA is highly specific for D-xylulose. Kinetic parameters were determined as Km(D-xylulose) = 0.76 mM and Km(ATP) = 0.061 mM. Increased transcript levels of the genes encoding arabinan and xylan degrading enzymes, observed in the xylulose kinase deficient strain, correlate with increased accumulation of L-arabitol and xylitol, respectively. This result supports the suggestion that L-arabitol may be the specific low molecular mass inducer of the genes involved in arabinan degradation. It also suggests a possible role for xylitol in the induction of xylanolytic genes. Conversely, overproduction of XKIA did not reduce the size of the intracellular arabitol and xylitol pools, and therefore had no effect on expression of genes encoding xylan and arabinan degrading enzymes nor on the activity of the enzymes of the catabolic pathway.

Abstract
Using a combination of dye adsorption and affinity elution we purified Aspergillus niger citrate synthase to homogeneity using a single column and characterised the enzyme. An A. niger citrate synthase cDNA was isolated by immunological screening and used to clone the corresponding citA gene. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high similarity to other fungal citrate synthases. After processing upon mitochondrial import, the calculated M(r) of A. niger citrate synthase is 48501, which agrees well with the estimated molecular mass of the purified protein (48 kDa). In addition to an N-terminal mitochondrial import signal, a peroxisomal target sequence (AKL) was found at the C-terminus of the protein. Whether both signals are functional in vivo is not clear. Strains overexpressing citA were made by transformation and cultured under citric acid-producing conditions. Up to 11-fold overproduction of citrate synthase did not increase the rate of citric acid production by the fungus, suggesting that citrate synthase contributes little to flux control in the pathway involved in citric acid biosynthesis by a non-commercial strain.

Abstract
Pyrococcus furiosus uses a modified Embden-Meyerhof pathway involving two ADP-dependent kinases. Using the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the previously purified ADP-dependent glucokinase, the corresponding gene as well as a related open reading frame were detected in the genome of P. furiosus. Both genes were successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding highly thermoactive ADP-dependent glucokinase and phosphofructokinase. The deduced amino acid sequences of both kinases were 21.1% identical but did not reveal significant homology with those of other known sugar kinases. The ADP-dependent phosphofructokinase was purified and characterized. The oxygen-stable protein had a native molecular mass of approximately 180 kDa and was composed of four identical 52-kDa subunits. It had a specific activity of 88 units/mg at 50 degrees C and a pH optimum of 6.5. As phosphoryl group donor, ADP could be replaced by GDP, ATP, and GTP to a limited extent. The K(m) values for fructose 6-phosphate and ADP were 2.3 and 0.11 mM, respectively. The phosphofructokinase did not catalyze the reverse reaction, nor was it regulated by any of the known allosteric modulators of ATP-dependent phosphofructokinases. ATP and AMP were identified as competitive inhibitors of the phosphofructokinase, raising the K(m) for ADP to 0.34 and 0.41 mM, respectively.

Abstract
All methods of protein separations can be applied to proteases. Some emphasis is put in this review on a powerful technique specific to proteases purification: cyclic peptide antibiotics may be seen as general affinity ligands for proteases. Also, some examples of affinity chromatography of proteases on ligands with narrower specificity are given. The special interest of hydrophobic interaction chromatography for proteases purification is discussed. The merits of immobilized dye chromatography for proteases purification and the interest in empirically screening many immobilized dyes, as well as several eluents are discussed.

Abstract
The Aspergillus niger glucokinase gene glkA has been cloned using a probe generated by polymerase chain reaction with degenerate oligonucleotides. The DNA sequence of the gene was determined, and the deduced amino acid sequence shows significant similarity to other eukaryotic hexokinase and glucokinase proteins, in particular to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae glucokinase protein. The encoded protein was purified from a multicopy glkA transformant, and extensively characterised. The protein has a molecular mass of 54536 Da and a pI of 5.2. The enzyme has high affinity for glucose (K(m) 0.063 mM at pH 7.5) and a relatively low affinity for fructose (K(m) 120 mM at pH 7.5), and in vivo fructose phosphorylation by glucokinase is consequently negligible. The configurations at C1 and C4 of the substrate appear to be essential for substrate specificity. The A. niger glucokinase shows non-competitive inhibition by ADP towards ATP and uncompetitive inhibition by ADP towards glucose. The kcal (turnover number) decreases rapidly below pH 7.5 (56% at pH 7.0 and 17% at pH 6.5) and this may have important implications for the in vivo regulation of activity. In addition, proof is provided for the presence of a second hexosephosphorylating enzyme in A. niger. This enzyme is probably a hexokinase, since unlike glucokinase, this activity is inhibited by trehalose 6-phosphate.

Abstract
The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) of Agaricus bisporus, a key enzyme in ammonia assimilation, was purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity with 27% recovery of the initial activity. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was 330 kDa. The enzyme is probably a hexamer, composed of identical subunits of 48 kDa. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was found at pH 4.8. The N-terminus appeared to be blocked. The enzyme was specific for NADP(H). The Km-values were 2.1, 3.2, 0.074, 27.0, and 0.117 mM for ammonia, 2-oxoglutarate, NADPH, L-glutamate, and NADP respectively. The pH optima for the amination and deamination reactions were found to be 7.6 and 9.0, respectively. The temperature optimum was 33 degrees C. The effect of several metabolites on the enzyme's activity was tested. Pyruvate, oxaloacetate, ADP, and ATP showed some inhibitory effect. Divalent cations slightly stimulated the aminating reaction. Antibodies raised against the purified enzyme were able to precipitate NADP-GDH activity from a cell-free extract in an anticatalytic immunoprecipitation test. Analysis of a Western blot showed the antibodies to be specific for NADP-GDH.

Abstract
The actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica was found to employ the normal bacterial set of glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway enzymes, except for the presence of a PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) and a 3-phosphoglycerate mutase that is stimulated by 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Screening of a number of actinomycetes revealed PPi-PFK activity only in members of the family Pseudonocardiaceae. The A. methanolica PPi-PFK and 3-phosphoglycerate mutase enzymes were purified to homogeneity. PPi-PFK appeared to be insensitive to the typical effectors of ATP-dependent PFK enzymes. Nevertheless, strong N-terminal amino acid sequence homology was found with ATP-PFK enzymes from other bacteria. The A. methanolica pyruvate kinase was purified over 250-fold and characterized as an allosteric enzyme, sensitive to inhibition by P(i) and ATP but stimulated by AMP. By using mutants, evidence was obtained for the presence of transketolase isoenzymes functioning in the pentose phosphate pathway and ribulose monophosphate cycle during growth on glucose and methanol, respectively.

Abstract
A number of new cationic ligands have been designed and synthesized for the selective resolution and purification of the trypszin-like proteases. A series of ligands based on 4-[2'-methyl-4'-(2'',4''-dichloro-1'',3'',5''-triazin-6-ylamino ) phenylazo]benzamidine were able to bind to trypsin and the trypsin-like proteases, thrombin and urokinase, but bound pancreatic kallikrein only weakly. Ligands possessing a second cationic group (either 4-aminophenyltrimethylammonium or 4-aminobenzamidine) substituted onto the triazine ring displayed higher affinities than the parent compound for trypsin in solution but bound the enzyme weakly or not at all after immobilization. In contrast, these bis-cationic ligands bound pancreatic kallikrein in solution and following immobilization. The presence of the second cationic group was crucial, since its replacement by neutral or anionic groups led to loss of affinity for pancreatic kallikrein. One of the bis-cationic ligands was used to purify pancreatic kallikrein 9.5-fold from a crude pancreatic extract in 79% yield, to generate a product 99.9% free of contaminating trypsin activity.

Abstract
Dye-ligand chromatography has developed into an important method for large-scale purification of proteins. The utility of the reactive dyes as affinity ligands results from their unique chemistry, which confers both the ability to interact with a large number of proteins as well as easy immobilization on typical adsorbent matrices. Reactive dyes can bind proteins either by specific interactions at the protein's active site or by a range of non-specific interactions. Divalent metals participate in yet another type of protein-reactive dye interactions which involve the formation of a ternary complex. All of these types of interactions have been exploited in schemes for protein purification. Many factors contribute to the successful operation of a dye-ligand chromatography process. These include adsorbent properties, such as matrix type and ligand concentration, the buffer conditions employed in the adsorption and elution stages, and contacting parameters like flowrate and column geometry. Dye-ligand chromatography has been demonstrated to be suitable for large-scale protein purification due to their high selectivity, stability, and economy. Also, the issue of dye leakage and process validation of large-scale dye-ligand chromatography has been discussed. Reactive dyes have also been applied in high performance liquid affinity chromatographic techniques for protein purification, as well as non-chromatographic techniques including affinity partition, affinity membrane separations, affinity cross-flow filtration, and affinity precipitation.
