چکیده

Active eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography, using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that reacts with the highly conserved heptapeptide repeat of the largest subunit. This mAb (designated SWG16) was conjugated to CNBr-activated Sepharose and used to purify RNAP II from wheat germ and calf thymus. The subunit composition of the immunoaffinity-purified enzyme was essentially the same as RNAP II purified by conventional chromatography except that it contained only the form with the unproteolyzed largest subunit. Active enzyme could be eluted from the SWG16-Sepharose, at pH 7.9, with combinations of low molecular weight polyols and nonchaotropic salts. The superior eluting procedure used combinations of ethylene glycol (30-40%) and ammonium sulfate (0.5-0.75 M). Active enzyme also could be eluted with a synthetic peptide containing four repeats of the heptapeptide; however, the peptide was not as effective as the polyol and salt combinations for eluting the enzyme. This mAb should be useful for purifying RNAP II from many eukaryotic species. Because the elution of enzyme from the immunoadsorbent seems to be dependent upon the presence of a polyol, this antibody is referred to as a "polyol-responsive mAb." A procedure that helps to identify a polyol-responsive mAb and to optimize the eluting conditions is described. Polyol-responsive mAbs might have broad applicability to the purification of many labile enzymes by immunoaffinity chromatography.

Development of polyol-responsive antibody mimetics for single-step protein purification.

The purification of functional proteins is a critical pre-requisite for many experimental assays. Immunoaffinity chromatography, one of the fastest and most efficient purification procedures available, is often limited by elution conditions that disrupt structure and destroy enzymatic activity. To address this limitation, we developed polyol-responsive antibody mimetics, termed nanoCLAMPs, base...

Purification of TEM-1 beta-lactamase by immunoaffinity chromatography.

A monoclonal antibody prepared against TEM-1 beta-lactamase was found to compete with penicillins and cephalosporins for binding to the enzyme. The purified antibody preparation was linked to Sepharose 4B and used for immunoaffinity-chromatography purification of TEM-1 beta-lactamase. Elution with either benzylpenicillin or cloxacillin yielded a highly purified, concentrated and active enzyme p...

Isolation and purification of HLA-DR antigen from Daudi cell line by immunoaffinity chromatography

Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...

Antigen-Binding Properties of Monoclonal Antibodies Reactive with EBNA1 and Use in Immunoaffinity Chromatography

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) was overexpressed and purified from Escherichia coli. Mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were prepared that react with EBNA1. Eleven high affinity mAbs were recovered. Nine mAbs are isotype IgG (all subisotype IgG(1)) and two mAbs are isotype IgM. All mAbs react strongly with EBNA1 in an ELISA assay while only one mAb (designated 1EB6) fails to...
