Here we describe a protocol for a one-step purification of a soluble form of human FAD synthase (isoform 2; hFADS2), overexpressed as a 6-His-tagged fusion protein in Escherichia coli, with a yield of about 15 mg from 1 L of transformed bacterial culture.Following a desalting procedure, the protein is obtained in its FAD-bound form (about 0.8 molecules of FAD per 1 protein monomer). A simple method is also proposed here, for the rapid estimation of the [FAD ]/[protein monomer] ratio, starting from the typical flavoprotein spectrum of the purified protein fraction.The procedure described gives the protein at a quite high grade of purity (about 95%) and in its bifunctional (2.7.7.2/3.6.1.18) enzymatically active form, useful for further kinetical and molecular characterization.
在这里,我们描述了一种一步法纯化可溶性人 FAD 合酶(同种型 2;hFADS2)的方案,该酶以 6-His 标记的融合蛋白形式在大肠杆菌中过表达,从 1 升转化细菌培养物中约可获得 15 毫克。经过脱盐处理后,该蛋白以其结合 FAD 的形式获得(每个蛋白单体约有 0.8 个 FAD 分子)。本文还提出了一种简单的方法,可从纯化蛋白部分的典型黄素蛋白光谱出发,快速估算 [FAD]/[蛋白单体]比值。所描述的方案可提供相当高纯度的蛋白(约 95%),并保持其双功能(2.7.7.2/3.6.1.18)酶活性形式,可用于进一步的动力学和分子特征分析。
