A poly-Lys tag was fused to the Lucina pectinata hemoglobin I (HbI) coding sequence and purified using an efficient and fast process. HbI is a hemeprotein that binds hydrogen sulfide (H2S) with high affinity and it has been used to understand physiologically relevant reactions of this signaling molecule. The (Lys)6-tagged rHbI construct was expressed in E. coli and purified by immobilization on a cation exchange matrix, followed by size-exclusion chromatography. The identity, structure, and function of the (Lys)6-tagged rHbI were assessed by mass spectrometry, small and wide X-ray scattering, optical spectroscopy, and kinetic analysis. The scattering and spectroscopic results showed that the (Lys)6-tagged rHbI is structurally and functionally analogous to the native protein as well as to the (His)6-tagged rHbI. Kinetics studies with H2S indicated that the association (k on) and dissociation (k off) rate constants were 1.4 × 10(5)/M/s and 0.1 × 10(-3)/s, respectively. This results confirmed that the (Lys)6-tagged rHbI binds H2S with the same high affinity as its homologue.
将一个聚赖氨酸标签融合到紫扇贝血红蛋白I(HbI)的编码序列上,并通过高效快速的方法进行纯化。HbI是一种血红素蛋白,能与硫化氢(H₂S)高亲和力结合,已被用于了解这种信号分子的生理相关反应。带有(Lys)₆标签的重组HbI构建体在大肠杆菌中表达,并通过固定在阳离子交换基质上,随后进行尺寸排阻色谱法进行纯化。通过质谱、小角和广角X射线散射、光谱学以及动力学分析对带有(Lys)₆标签的重组HbI的身份、结构和功能进行了评估。散射和光谱学结果表明,带有(Lys)₆标签的重组HbI在结构和功能上与天然蛋白以及带有(His)₆标签的重组HbI相似。对H₂S的动力学研究表明,结合(k on)和解离(k off)速率常数分别为1.4×10⁵/M/s和0.1×10⁻³/s。这一结果证实,带有(Lys)₆标签的重组HbI与硫化氢结合的亲和力与其同源物相同。
