Angiostatin is a potent anti-angiogenic protein. To examine the angiostatin-interacting proteins, we used the display-cloning method with a T7 phage library presenting human cDNAs. The specific T7 phage clone that bound to the immobilized angiostatin was isolated, and a novel gene encoding the displayed polypeptide on the isolated T7 phage was identified. The displayed angiostatin-binding sequence was expressed in E. coli as a soluble protein and purified to homogeneity. This novel angiostatin-binding region interacted specifically to angiostatin with a dissociation constant of $3.4{\times}10^{-7}\;M$. A sequence analysis showed that the identified sequence was a part of the large ORF of 1,998 amino acids, whose function has not yet been characterized. A Northern analysis indicated that the gene containing the angiostatin-binding sequence was expressed differentially in the developmental stages or cell types.

Rapid production of therapeutic proteins such as angiostatin and endostatin angiogenic inhibititors has been highly demanded for cancer treatment. In this regard, recombinant human angiostatin and endostatin were successfully expressed as soluble forms by maltose binding protein (MBP)-mediated fusion expression in Escherichia coli. PCR amplified, angiostatin and endostatin genes from human placenta cDNA library were inserted into an expression vector pMAL-c2e to construct prokaryotic expression vectors, pMAL-c2e/AS and pMAL-c2e/ES, respectively. Recombinant angiostatin and endostatin were efficiently expressed in E. coli origami (DE3) after IPTG induction and protein expression were confirmed by SDS-PAGE analyses. The expressed recombinant proteins were purified near homogenity using an amylose affinty column chromatography. In contrast that previous E. coli expressions were all insoluble, our results first time demonstrated that MBP fused human angiostatin and endostatin were soluble in E. coli.

Kringle 5 (K5), located outside of angiostain (K1-4) in human plasminogen, displays more potent antiangiogenic activity on endothelial cell proliferation than angiostatin itself. Using a yeast two-hybrid system in vivo, we have recently identified Rgl2 (guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator (RalGDS)-like factor 2) as a binding protein of human K5. In order to confirm in vitro protein interaction between K5 and Rgl2, we developed bacterial recombinant expression systems for them. K5 and Rgl2 proteins were expressed in high yields and purified into pure forms with His tags and GST fusion, respectively. GST-pull down experiments clearly demonstrated that K5 interacts specifically with Rgl2 in vitro. These results indicate that Rgl2 functions as a receptor protein for K5 in vitro as well as in vivo, leading to anti-angiogenesis through regulating Ras signaling pathways.

재조합 대장균에서 내포체 형태로 발현시킨 LK68을 생물학적 활성을 가진 native한 단백질로 재생시키기 위해서 PBA 크로마토그래피와 EBA 크로마토그래피를 이용한 고체상 재접힘을 수행하였다. 내포체와 세포파쇄액을 시작물질로 하여 재접힘 공정을 수행하였으며 총 단백질 회수율과 재접힘 수율을 비교한 결과, EBA 공정이 기존의 액상 재접힘이나 PBA를 이용한 재접힘 공정에 비하여 우수함을 확인하였다. 또한 Iysine binding, RP-HPLC, SEC-HPLC, Ellman method 등을 사용하여 분석한 결과 재접힘된 LK68이 native LK68와 동등함을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 EBA 크로마토그래피를 이용한 재접힘 방법은 재접힘 단계의 수율을 향상시킬 뿐 아니라 공정 단계, 시간 등을 감소시켜 공정 성능을 전체적으로 향상시킬 수 있음을 제시하였다.
