| 20110136170 | METHOD AND KIT FOR PURIFICATION OF RECOMBINANT PROTEINS USING A SELF-CLEAVING PROTEIN INTEIN - The present invention provides a method for purifying a recombinant target protein by using an autolytic protein Intein, comprising: recombinantly expressing a fusion protein in a host cell, wherein said fusion protein comprises a target protein domain, an autolytic Intein and one or multiple hydrophobic granule binding domains, and wherein said autolytic Intein is located between said target protein domain and said one or multiple hydrophobic granule binding domains; releasing said fusion protein from said host cell, adding hydrophobic granules and incubating; collecting the incubated hydrophobic granules, adding a lysis solution for allowing the autolytic Intein in said fusion protein to disrupt; and removing said hydrophobic granules, to obtain a solution containing said target proteins which are substantially purified. The present invention further provides a kit for performing such a method. | 06-09-2011 |
