Abstract

The purification of recombinant proteins is an important stage in biopharmaceutical research. A commonly used technique is immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). One of the main advantages of this type of chromatography is that the column can easily be regenerated for subsequent purification work. The mechanism of IMAC is based on bonding between metal ions immobilized on a matrix with a specific amino acid. Because of the strong interactions of the electron donor group on the imidazole ring, histidine is often used in the IMAC purification system. Two types of commercial IMAC resin use a nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) matrix: a nickel-based (Ni-NTA) and cobalt-based (Co-NTA), better known as TALON. This study was aim to investigate the effect of the metal ions Ni2+ and Co2+ to purify recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) expressed in yeast system Pichia pastoris. The results indicated that both Ni-NTA and Co-TALON gave almost the same level of protein purity; however, Ni-NTA has a higher binding affinity than Co-TALON might be due to the higher stability complex of Ni+. The average amount of protein bound by Ni-NTA and Co-TALON was 183.5 and 38.7 µg/mL, respectively.

Abstract

A molecular docking study demonstrates the interaction between naringin, a citrus flavonoid, with SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD. Nevertheless, in vitro investigation of the inhibitory effect of naringin on SARS-CoV-2 entry and syncytia models has yet to be carried out. We synthesized VSV∆G-GFP/Spike* pseudovirus (PSV) as a SARS-CoV-2 model by pseudotyping VSV∆G-GFP/S* in BHK-21 cells overexpressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. In the SARS-CoV-2 PSV entry assay, we utilized CHO-K1 cells transfected with hACE2 plasmid, which were then treated with naringin and SARS-CoV-2 PSV/naringin. After 16-18 h incubation, PSV internalization represented by the GFP signal was observed under a fluorescence microscope. Immunofluorescence staining was also performed to probe the SARS-CoV-2 spike and confirm the PSV entry. We performed a syncytia assay using 293T cells co-transfected with SARS-CoV-2 spike/hACE2. Six hours after transfection, the cells were treated with naringin and incubated for another 16-18 hours. Then, we observed syncytia using a phase contrast microscope. Based on fluorescence foci quantification, the results indicated that naringin might inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PSV entry at a concentration of 100 µM (P<0.05). However, naringin did not prevent syncytia formation compared to solvent control. These PSV entry and syncytia assay results suggested that naringin potentially inhibited SARS-CoV-2 viral infection but not cell-to-cell viral transmission.

Abstract

In our previous work, we demonstrated that curcumin-derived carbon dots (Cur-CDs) have potential as antivirals for COVID-19. However, the precise mechanism of action remains unclear. This study investigated the potential of Cur-CDs against SARS-CoV-2 by targeting the dimerization of the C-terminal domain of nucleocapsid protein (N-CTD) using chemical crosslinking. Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 N-CTD was expressed, purified, and subjected to chemical crosslinking. The dimerization inhibition ability of Cur-CDs was assessed with ligand concentrations ranging from 0 to 2,000 μg/mL. Successful inhibition —defined as a noticeable reduction in SARS-CoV-2 N-CTD dimer band intensity on SDS-PAGE—was observed when Cur-CDs were present at 8 to 16 times the protein concentration. We hypothesize that Cur-CDs bind to the dimerization residues, preventing non-covalent interactions between monomers and limiting dimer formation. Our findings suggest that Cur-CDs could be a promising antiviral strategy for SARS-CoV-2, especially targeting the dimerization of the nucleocapsid protein. Additionally, this study also highlights the use of chemical crosslinking as a valuable tool for interaction-based drug screening.

Abstract

The urgency to develop a new protein subunit based vaccine candidate against Brucella was provoked by its frequent infection to human and livestock. Since Brucella melitensis is found as the most frequently isolated Brucella species from human, thus the outer membrane of B. melitensis becomes a prominent subcellular localization to search for promising antigen to be developed as vaccine candidate due to its interaction with host cell. Among outer membrane proteins suggested by Vaxign program, OMP31 was found as the most promising candidate. Moreover, analysis on other subcellular localization led our interest to SODc protein, which was expected to support OMP31 in triggering immune response. The OMP31-SODc divalent vaccine candidate was analysed in silico to predict its stable three-dimensional structure, cloning process and expectation on the ease during expression, purification and vaccine delivery to elicit the expected immune response.
