Biochemistry: Chromatography

You are trying to separate protein A from four other proteins (B, C, D, E). These proteins have the following properties. (MW is in daltons and charge is at pH 7):

Protein A (GST-tag, MW: 18,000, charge +24)

Protein B (MW: 64,000, charge -10)

Protein C (His-tag, MW: 120,000, charge +6)

Protein D (MW: 84,000, charge 0)

Protein E (MW: 7,000, charge -16)

Below, name three separate techniques you can use to attempt to separate protein A. For each technique, explain what property of protein A the technique is using/ exploiting. Also, for each technique, list the order in which the proteins will elute (from first to last).

Expert Solution

THE 3 SEPARATE TECHNIQUES TO SEPARATE PROTEIN-A :

ION EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
GEL-FILTRATION OR SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY
AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY

Properties of PROTEIN A that the 3 above techniques are using and their order of elution:

ION EXCHANGE - THE NET CHARGE ON THE PROTEIN IS CONSIDERED. ( Here the column is either cationic or anionic. For instance: If the column is cationic ( Positively charged), the elution rate of the above proteins would be PROTEIN-A, PROTEIN-C, PROTEIN-D , PROTEIN-B & PROTEIN-E. This is because, the protein with the same charge would be eluted out first, and the ones with the opposite charge would be eluted out last. Remember Proteins with Opposite charges attract to the column and those with the same charge as the column would be eluted out first.)
GEL FILTRATION/ SIZE EXCLUSION - THE Size- MOLECULAR WEIGHT ON THE PROTEIN IS CONSIDERED. ( Looking at the molecular weight (MW), one can guess the bulkiness of the protein. Thus, the elution rate would be the less bulky proteins come out first and the most bulky proteins come out last. ) Order from 1st to last would be: PROTEIN C, D, B, A & E .
AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY - THE AFFINITY OF THE LIGAND THAT IS ATTCHED ON THE PROTEIN IS CONSIDERED. ( In the above case, since we look to separate PROTEIN A, notice that it has a tag of GST. Thus we need a column that is capable of retaining GST and elute out the remaining 4 proteins.

You are trying to separate proteins using gel filtration. You know that for gel filtration resin 1, the Kav values for your proteins are 0.38, 0.41 and 0.45 while for resin 2 the values of Kav of your proteins are 0.25, 0.45 and 0.6. Which column will give you better separation of the proteins, resin 1 or resin 2, and why?

Protein purification techniques take advantage of the ways that proteins differ from each other with respect to various physical or chemical properties. List five properties of proteins that can be used as basis for their separation and describe a method of separation based on each of these properties. Please explain the physical and/or chemical processes involved for each of the separation techniques you describe.

1. You were trying to produce a hydrophilic protein from E coli, but the protein you produced is inactive (misfolded) due to a disulfide bond formed between two cysteine residues that are not found in the native form. Your professor suggests you to co-express this protein with a folding assistant enzyme to improve its activity. (a) Which enzyme is it? (0.4 pt) (b) What are the functions of this enzyme? Please describe two aspects and indicate which sub-form execute which...

Protein A and Protein B work together to import iron into a living cell. Proteins A and B are both integral membrane proteins that are capable of binding one another and together they reduce Fe (III) to Fe (II) and then import Fe(II) from outside to inside the cell. It has been found that mutations in the gene encoding spectrin can reduce the amount of iron that is imported into the cell. Create a hypothesis to explain this observation
