Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of mortalities worldwide. The search for new therapeutic targets is of utmost importance for improved treatment. Altered expression of HDAC1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its requirement for liver formation in zebrafish, suggest that it may regulate key events in liver carcinogenesis and organogenesis. However, molecular mechanisms of HDAC1 action in liver carcinogenesis are largely unknown. The present study was conducted to identify HDAC1 interacting proteins in HepG2 cells using modified SH-double-affinity purification coupled with liquid mass spectrophotemetery. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells were transfected with a construct containing HDAC1 with a C-terminal strepIII-HA tag as bait. Bait proteins were confirmed to be expressed in HepG2 cells by western blotting and purified by double affinity columns and protein complexes for analysis on a Thermo LTQ Orbitrap XL using a C18 nano flow ESI liquid chromatography system. Results: There were 27 proteins which showed novel interactions with HDAC1 identified only in this study, while 14 were among the established interactors. Various subunits of T complex proteins (TCP1) and prefoldin proteins (PFDN) were identified as interacting partners that showed high affinity with HDAC1 in HepG2 cells. Conclusions: The double affinity purification method adopted in this study was very successful in terms of specificity and reproducibility. The novel HDAC1 complex identified in this study could be better therapeutic target for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Homogeneous human deoxycytidine kinase was purified in one step from a variety of spontaneous human leukemic cells (T-ALL, B-ALL, B-CLL, AML, CML), and from cultured T-lymphoblast cells (MOLT-4) using the newly developed affinity medium, $dCp_4$-Sepharose. Starting with an ammonium sulfate fraction, purification was achieved in one step with the kinase being eluted from a column by the end product inhibitor, dCTP. The purified deoxycytidine kinase from T-ALL cells phosphorylated deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine, as well as deoxycytidine. The enzyme purified from T-ALL and B-CLL cells yielded one major band with a molecular weight of 52 kDa determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. AML and CML cells yielded one 52 kDa band and an extra band of 30 kDa molecular weight. On the other hand, B-ALL and MOLT-4 cells showed a low molecular weight band of 30 kDa only. However, the electrophoretic mobilities of enzymatic activity in 12% non-denaturing gels were identical for the dCyd kinase from all different kinds of leukemic cell lines, except that the B-ALL, B-CLL, and MOLT-4 cell preparations had an extra minor peak, all at the same position. dAdo and dCyd phosphorylating activities comigrated indicating that these activities are all associated with the same protein. Two new methods, a disk implantation method and a nitrocellulose powder method were used with a small amount of enzyme protein to raise polyclonal antibodies against dCyd kinase purified from T-ALL cells.

An $\alpha$-D-galactosidase ($\alpha$-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3. 2. 1. 22) from earthworm was purified by affinity chromatography using N-$\varepsilon$-aminocaproyl-$\alpha$-D-galactopyranosylamine coupled to sepharose and its properties were examined. The specific activity of the purified enzyme, tested with p-nitrophenyl-$\alpha$-D-galactopyranoside as substrate, was 314 units/mg protein, representing an 122-fold purification of the original crude extract. The final preparation obtained from by Sephadex G-25 chromatography showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be 48,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified galactosidase was showed maximum activity at pH 4.5 and 4$0^{\circ}C$, and was stable in the pH and temperature ranges from 4.0 to 5.5 and 30 to 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Zn2+, Hg2+ and Co2+. When the purified $\alpha$-galactosidase treated to guar gum for 6 hour, gel-promoting property was increased. It was clear that enzymatic elimination of galactose from guar gum by purified $\alpha$-galactosidase would lead to a significant increase in gelation ability.

A single chain variable fragment (scFv) specific towards B. pseudomallei exotoxin had previously been generated from an existing hybridoma cell line (6E6AF83B) and cloned into the phage display vector pComb3H. In this study, the scFv was subcloned into the pComb3X vector to facilitate the detection and purification of expressed antibodies. Detection was facilitated by the presence of a hemagglutinin (HA) tag, and purification was facilitated by the presence of a histidine tag. The culture was grown at 30$^{\circ}C$ until log phase was achieved and then induced with 1 mM IPTG in the absence of any additional carbon source. Induction was continued at 30$^{\circ}C$ for five h. The scFv was discerned by dual processes-direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and Western blotting. When compared to E. coli strains ER2537 and HB2151, scFv expression was observed to be highest in the E. coli strain Topl0F'. The expressed scFv protein was purified via nickel-mediated affinity chromatography and results indicated that two proteins a 52 kDa protein, and a 30 kDa protein were co-purified. These antibodies, when blotted against immobilized exotoxin, exhibited significant specificity towards the exotoxin, com-pared to other B. pseudomallei antigens. Thus, these antibodies should serve as suitable reagents for future affinity purification of the exotoxin.

Autotaxin(ATX) was originally purified from conditioned media of A2058 human melanoma cells and shown to be a potent cell motility-stimulating factor, possessing a type II nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP2) activity. Recombinant ATX has recently demonstrated that human plasma lysophosholipase D is identical to ATX and uses lysophosphatidylcholine as a substrate to mediate various biological functions including tumor cell growth and motility through G-protein coupled receptor. However, despite pivotal roles of ATX on physiological or pathophysiological states, the production of ATX is solely depends on complicated purification method which employs multiple column steps, but resulted in very poor yield. This limited the use of ATX for extensive analysis. We, therefore, expressed six histidine-tagged recombinant human ATX(His-ATX) in High Five TM insect cells to improve the generation of ATX and to make simple the purification of ATX. The signal sequence of the human ATX gene was truncated and replaced with sequence of insect cell secretion signal within expression vector. In addition, codons for six histidines were added to the C-termini of 120kDa ATX cDNA construct. A simple purification scheme utilizing two-step affinity column chromatography was designed to purify His-ATX to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of transfected insect cells. Homogenous His-ATX was detected and isolated from the concentrated insect cell medium using concanavalin A agarose and nickel affinity chromatography. Purified His-ATX was in full length with ATX capacity. A combination of this expression system and purification scheme would be useful for production and purification of high-quality functional ATX for research and practical application of multiple functional motogen, ATX/NPP-2.

Experimental bioinformatics data obtained from an E. coli cell-based eukaryotic protein purification experiment were analyzed in order to identify any bottleneck as well as the factors affecting the target purification. All targets were expressed as His-tagged maltose-binding protein (MBP) fusion constructs and were initially purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). The targets were subsequently separated from the His-tagged MBP through TEV protease cleavage followed by a second IMAC isolation. Of the 743 total purification trials, 342 yielded more than 3 mg of target proteins for structural studies. The major reason for failure of target purification was poor TEV proteolysis. The overall success rate for target purification decreased linearly as cysteine content or isoelectric point (pI) of the target increased. This pattern of pI versus overall success rate strongly suggests that pI should be incorporated into target scoring criteria with a threshold value.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae로 부터 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase을 신속하고 간편하게 정제하는 과정을 affinity chromatography를 이용하여 개발하였다. 이 효소를 정제하는데 적절한 affinity medium을 조사해 본 결과, $NADP^+ -agarose$와 Affi-gel Blue(Cibacron Blue F3GA)가 Affi-gel Red(Procion Red HE-3B), AMP-agarose, ATP-agarose, 그리고 $NADP^+ -agarose$보다 유용함이 밝혀졌다. 이 두가지 affinity media에 흡착된 효소를 분리 하는데 가장 적합한 elution 조건을 조사하였는데 KCI gradient( (0-1.OM)가 효소의 순도 및 수회율을 가장 높일 수 있는 적합한 방법이었다. 특히 Affi-gel Blue를 사용할 경우, KCI gradient로 효소를 용출시키기 전에 NAD-(15mM)로NAD+에 친화역을 갖는 효소들을 제거하는 것이 enzyme의 순도를 높이는데 매우 효과적이었다. 그 결과 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase를 baker's yeast로 부터 기존의 간단한 정제 과정과 affinity chromatography를 병행한 방식을 샤용하여 분리 하였는데, affinity medium으로 Affi-gel Blue를 사용했을 때는 180배 정도, NADP+-agarose를 사용했을 때는 2,000배 정도로 정제 되었다. 대량으로 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase를 정제하는 경우, Affi-gel Blue를 사용하던 효소의 순도는 NADP+-agarose보다 낮으나, 효소의 회수율은 훨씬 더 높았다. 또한 G-6-P dehydrogenase에 대한 affinity medium의 capacity도 Affi-gel Blue가 NADP+-agarose보다 5배정도 높았으며 더우기 Affi-gel Blue는 여러번 반복적으로 사용될 수 있고, 그 제조 과정도 NADP+-agarose보다 간단하며 경비도 적게 들었다.
