Abstract
In this work, a novel method was established to isolate and purify Human plasminogen Kringle 5 (HPK5) as a histidine-tagged fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). This method consisted of sample extraction using a Ni-chelated Sepharose Fast-Flow affinity column, ammonium sulfate salting-out and Sephadex G-75 size-exclusion column in turn. The purity analysis by SDS-PAGE, high-performance size-exclusion and reversed-phase chromatographies showed that the obtained recombinant fusion HPK5 was homogeneous and its purity was higher than 96%; the activity analysis by chorioallantoic membrane model of chicken embryos revealed that the purified recombinant HPK5 exhibited an obvious anti-angiogenic activity under the effective range of 5.0-25.0 µg/mL. Through this procedure, about 19 mg purified recombinant fusion HPK5 can be obtained from 1 L of original fermentation solution. Approximate 32% of the total recombinant fusion HPK5 can be captured and the total yield was approximately 11%.
