Research Abstract |
Recently, we have developed the effective renaturation method of denatured and reduced proteins using slow dialysis based on the function of a molecular chaperone. The method was applicable to renature both hen egg-white lysozyme and monoclonal antibody (IgG1/kappa) effectively from their denatured and reduced form. The aim of this project is to investigate whether or not the renaturation method is applicable to renature the denatured and reduced the other proteins. First, since a denatured and reduced monoclonal antibody (IgG1/kappa) effectively renatured to intact by use of the slow dialysis method, I analyzed a renaturation mechanism of the monoclonal antibody from denatured and reduced form in vitro. As a result, intact form was found to form by the favorable interaction between folded heavy chain and light chain. Next, the slow dialysis method was shown to have an advantage in the effective renaturation of denatured and reduced lysozyme, which had been expressed from E.coli or in which methionine residues had been labeled with ^<13>Cnuclei. Moreover, the method was applicable to the effective renaturation of denatured and reduced monomeric protein such as ribonuclease A and Take-amylase A and oligomeric protein such as enolase. For the renaturation of unstable proteins, the addition of glycerol and ammoniumsulfate to the ranturation buffer was also shown to be effective.
