  • Title: Kinetic locking-on and auxiliary tactics for bioaffinity purification of NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases using N6-linked immobilized NADP+ derivatives: Studies with mammalian and microbial glutamate dehydrogenases.
    Author: McMahon M, Tynan J, Mulcahy P.
    Journal: Biotechnol Bioeng; 2003 Feb 05; 81(3):356-69. PubMed ID: 12474259.
    Abstract:
    This study is concerned with the development and application of kinetic locking-on and auxiliary tactics for bioaffinity purification of NADP(+)-dependent dehydrogenases, specifically (1) the synthesis and characterization of highly substituted N(6)-linked immobilized NADP(+) derivatives using a rapid solid-phase modular approach; (2) the evaluation of the N(6)-linked immobilized NADP(+) derivatives for use with the kinetic locking-on strategy for bioaffinity purification of NADP(+)-dependent dehydrogenases: Model bioaffinity chromatographic studies with glutamate dehydrogenase from bovine liver (GDH with dual cofactor specificity, EC 1.4.1.3) and glutamate dehydrogenase from Candida utilis (GDH which is NADP(+)-specific, EC 1.4.1.4); (3) the selection of an effective "stripping ligand" for NADP(+)-dehydrogenase bioaffinity purifications using N(6)-linked immobilized NADP(+) derivatives in the locking-on mode; and (4) the application of the developed bioaffinity chromatographic system to the purification of C. utilis GDH from a crude cellular extract. Results confirm that the newly developed N(6)-linked immobilized NADP(+) derivatives are suitable for the one-step bioaffinity purification of NADP(+)-dependent GDH provided that they are used in the locking-on mode, steps are taken to inhibit alkaline phosphatase activity in crude cellular extracts, and 2',5'-ADP is used as the stripping ligand during chromatography. The general principles described here are supported by a specific sample enzyme purification; the purification of C. utilis GDH to electrophoretic homogeneity in a single bioaffinity chromatographic step (specific activity, 9.12 micromol/min/mg; purification factor, 83.7; yield 88%). The potential for development of analogous bioaffinity systems for other NADP(+)-dependent dehydrogenases is also discussed.
