Protein adsorption on solid state media is important for the industrial affinity chromatography of biotherapeutics and for preparing materials for self-interaction chromatography where fundamental protein solution thermodynamic properties are measured. The adsorption of three model proteins (lysozyme, catalase and BSA) and two antibodies (a monoclonal and a polyclonal antibody) have been investigated on commercial affinity chromatography media with different surface functionalities (Formyl, Tresyl and Amino). Both the extent of protein immobilised (mg protein/ml media) and the reaction kinetics are reported for a range of reaction conditions, including pH, differing buffers as well as the presence of secondary reactants (glutaraldehyde, sodium cyanoborohydride, EDC and NHS). Compared to the reaction conditions recommended by manufacturers as well as those reported in previous published work, significant increases in the extent of protein immobilisation and reaction kinetics are reported here. The addition of glutaraldehyde or sodium cyanoborohydride was found to be especially effective even when not directly needed for the adsorption to happen. For mAb and pIgG, immobilisation levels of 50 and 31 mg of protein/ml of resin respectively were achieved, which are 100% or more than previously reported. Enhanced levels were achieved for lysozyme of 120 mg/ml with very rapid reaction kinetics (< 1 h) with sodium cyanoborohydride. It can be concluded that specific chromatography resins with Tresyl activated support offered enhanced levels of protein immobilisation due to their ability to react to form amine or thio-ether linkages with proteins. Additionally, glutaraldehyde can result in higher immobilisation levels whilst it can also accelerate immobilisation reaction kinetics.
(1) The structural elements necessary for phosphoinositide sensitivity of photoreceptor CNG channels appear to reside in CNGA3 and CNGA1 (not CNGB3 and CNGB1) subunits. (2) The carboxyl-terminal region of CNGA3 is necessary for a PIP 3-or PIP 2-dependent increase in cAMP efficacy. (3) Regulation of CNGA3 channels by PIP 3 exhibits two components, one of which is unmasked either by assembly with CNGB3 subunits or by deletion of the C-terminal region of CNGA3. Presumably, an interaction between Nand C-terminal regions (intra-or inter-subunit) controls the nature of PIP 3 sensitivity. (4) The N-terminal region of CNGA3 can bind PIP 3 in vitro. (5) Regulation of heteromeric CNGA3+CNGB3 channels by PIP 3 depends on N-and C-terminal regions of CNGA3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
