RESUMO

Bacterially-produced recombinant prion protein (rPrP) is a frequently used model system for the study of the properties of wild-type and mutant prion proteins by biochemical and biophysical approaches. A range of approaches have been developed for the purification and refolding of untagged rPrP expressed as inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli, including refolding by dialysis and simultaneous on-column purification and refolding. In order to perform a higher-throughput analysis of different rPrP proteins, an approach that produces highly pure rPrP with a minimum of purification steps and a high yield per liter of induced bacterial culture is desired. Here, we directly compare purification approaches for untagged bovine rPrP as adapted to rapid, small-scale formats useful for higher-throughput studies. An analysis of protein yield, purity, oxidation, and refolding revealed significant differences between preparative methods as adapted to the small-scale format, and based on these findings we provide recommendations for future purifications. We also describe the utility of a sensitive commercial kit for thiol analysis of these preparations, the pH dependence of dimer formation during refolding of bovine rPrP, and bovine rPrP binding to cobalt affinity resin.
