Abstract

2

Development of a peptide-based affinity matrix and detection reagent is important for

3

biomedical research and the biopharmaceutical industry. In the present work, we designed

4

and synthesized an immunoglobin G (IgG)-binding peptide ligand, Fc-III-4C. Fc-III-4C is

5

composed of 15 residues and the four cysteine residues form two disulfide bonds to generate

6

a double cyclic structure. The binding affinity of the Fc-III-4C peptide towards human IgG

7

was determined to be 2.45 nM (Kd), which is higher than that of IgG with Protein A/G

8

(Pro-A/G). Importantly, the Fc-III-4C peptide displayed high affinity to various IgGs from

9

different species. Fc-III-4C immobilized agarose beads exhibited high stability and

10

reusability when compared with that of the Pro-A/G-immobilized beads. The conjugate of

11

Fc-III-4C with FITC was demonstrated to be suitable for immuno-fluorescence detection of

12

proteins expressed in cells. These results demonstrate that the Fc-III-4C peptide is a useful

13

affinity ligand for antibody purification and as a protein detection reagent.

Phage display and peptidomimetic chemistry are two methods used to find a peptide ligand of

2

a targeted protein1-3. Generally, phage display is used for screening a peptide ligand from a

3

library composed of a large number of peptides, whereas peptidomimetic chemistry is used to

4

further optimize the peptide sequence. The selected peptides with high affinities to a target

5

protein can be coupled with agarose beads and fluorescent molecules for enrichment and

6

detection of target proteins. These peptides can also be used as affinity tags for expression

7

and purification of recombinant proteins4-7.

8

The Fc-III peptide that possesses high affinity to an IgG-Fc fragment was originally

9

identified by phage display screening with a cyclic peptide library. The Fc-III peptide with

10

the sequence DCAWHLGELVWCT adopts a β–hairpin conformation with two Cys residues

11

forming a disulfide bond to make a cyclized peptide8. As a mimic of Protein A (Pro-A) or

12

Protein G (Pro-G), the Fc-III peptide binds to the hinge region of the IgG-Fc fragment with

13

high affinity (Kd = 185 nM)9.

14

However, the single disulfide bridge in the Fc-III peptide provides limited

15

conformational restraint to the β-hairpin backbone. Dias et al. used D-Pro-L-Pro to link the

16

N- and C-termini of Fc-III to form a double cyclic structure denoted as FcBP-2 by using

17

peptidomimetic chemistry tool9. The binding affinity of FcBP-2 with IgG is 80-fold higher

18

than that of the original Fc-III peptide, indicating that the double ring structure of the peptide

19

significantly enhances its affinity towards IgG. However, the D-Pro can not be incorporated

20

into Fc-III-tagged recombinant proteins, and N to C cyclization is a challenging for routine

21

solid-phase peptide synthesis. In the present work, we modified the Fc-III sequence by

22

replacing the D-Pro and L-Pro residues with two cysteine residues at the N- and C-termini of 3

the peptide to facilitate the formation of a second disulfide bond that mimics the D-Pro-L-Pro

2

linkage, which is designated Fc-III-4C. The Fc-III-4C peptide has a double cyclic structure

3

with high binding affinity towards human IgG, which is 30-fold higher than that of Fc-III.

4

The newly designed Fc-III-4C peptide also showed strong interactions to a variety of IgGs

5

from different species. We conjugated the Fc-III-4C peptide to agarose beads and FITC to

6

efficient purify IgG molecules from serum and detect expressed proteins in cells, respectively.

7

Our results herein demonstrate that the Fc-III-4C peptide is a simple and efficient tool for

8

antibody purification and protein detection.

9

The Fc-III-4C peptide in the reduced form was synthesized by solid-phase peptide

10

synthesis, and the purity was estimated to be 95% by HPLC analysis. Under mild oxidative

11

conditions with exposure to air at 37 ºC overnight, the reduced peptide is facile to be

12

converted into the fully oxidized peptide with two disulfide bonds. The oxidized Fc-III-4C

13

peptide was further purified by HPLC and the purity of the oxidized Fc-III-4C peptide in the

14

final product was 98%, as determined by HPLC (Figure S1, S2 and S3). To identify the

15

disulfide linkages in the oxidized Fc-III-4C peptide, the peptide was digested with Asp-N

16

endopeptidase that hydrolyzes peptide bonds on the N-terminal side of Asp and the resulting

17

fragments were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS). The MS spectrum of the

18

oxidized Fc-III-4C peptide showed a doubly charged ion at m/z 867.83, indicating that the

19

Fc-III-4C peptide contains two disulfide bonds (Figure 1A). After Asp-N digestion, the mass

20

of the product is 18 Da higher than that of the Fc-III-4C and its MS/MS spectrum is presented

21

in Figure 1B, in which y1 (241.03 m/z) and y2 (342.08 m/z) ions are the characteristic

22

fragments of the disulfide-bond linked peptide. The other peaks in Figure 1B match to 4

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) was used to determine the binding affinities of

human IgG with the Fc-III-4C and Fc-III peptides. Human IgG molecules were immobilized

onto the biacore CM5 chip, and peptides were diluted into five different concentrations and

11

interacted with immobilized IgG in the flow cell. The SPR responses were monitored and are

12

presented in Figure S4. The data were fit to the two-state kinetic equation to derive the Kd

values. Previous studies showed that the binding affinity of FcBP-2 with IgG is about 10-fold

14

higher than that of Pro-A or the Fc-III peptide9. Consistent with these results, we found that

15

the Kd values of the Fc-III-4C, Fc-III and the Z domain (engineered B domain of Pro-A)

16

binding to human IgG were 2.45, 70 and 16.8 nM, respectively (Table 1), indicating that 6

binding affinity of the Fc-III-4C peptide to human IgG is similar to that of the FcBP-2

2

peptide and 7 times higher than those of Pro-A/Pro-G. Both Fc-III and Z domain bind to the

3

Fc region of IgG. To probe whether the Fc-III-4C peptide binds to the same region in IgG, the

4

Fc fragment of IgG (IgG-Fc) was purified and immobilized onto the biacore chip to measure

5

the binding affinity of IgG-Fc and the Fc-III-4C peptide. The SPR responses are presented in

6

Figure S5, and the calculated Kd value is 8.2 nM, demonstrating that the Fc-III-4C peptide

7

binds to IgG-Fc with high affinity.

8

We also measured the Kd values of the Fc-III-4C peptide binding to IgGs from rabbit,

9

mouse, rat, pig, goat, bovine and horse (Table 1). All Kd values of the Fc-III-4C peptide were

10

less than 30 nM, indicating that the Fc-III-4C peptide interacts strongly with different IgGs

11

from different species. In comparison, the Kd values of the Fc-III peptide were generally

12

lower than those of the Fc-III-4C peptide, and the interactions of the Fc-III peptide with IgGs

13

from mouse, rat, goat, bovine and horse were below the detection limit. A similar trend was

14

observed for the binding of the Z-domain of Pro-A with IgGs, and the interaction of the

15

Pro-A Z-domain with IgGs from goat and horse were below the detection limit.

The above data indicate that the Fc-III-4C peptide is a mimic of the structure of the

2

FcBP-2 peptide and has higher binding affinity towards IgG when compared with that of the

3

Fc-III peptide and Pro-A. The commonly used Pro-A and Pro-G affinity media exhibit a wide

4

range of binding affinities towards IgGs from different species, whereas the Fc-III-4C peptide

5

possesses high affinities towards all IgGs tested, indicating that the Fc-III-4C peptide has

6

advantages over the Pro-A/G affinity matrix for purification of antibodies from different

7

species.

8

We then used the Fc-III-4C peptide to purify IgGs. The Fc-III-4C peptide was

9

immobilized onto NHS-activated Sepharose beads (GE Healthcare) through the primary

10

amine at the N-terminus of the peptide with 10-atom spacer arms (Scheme 2), according to

11

the manufacturer’s recommended procedures. The Fc-III-4C agarose beads were incubated

12

with rabbit serum that consisted of multiple antibodies. After washing, proteins captured by

13

the Fc-III-4C peptide immobilized beads were eluted and separated on 1D SDS-PAGE

14

(Figure S6). The results showed that Pro-A beads and the Fc-III-4C agarose beads have

15

similar enrichment efficiencies for rabbit IgG purification. The dynamic binding capacity at a

16

flow rate of 1 ml/min for the Fc-III-4C immobilized agarose beads from 3 different batches

17

was measured to be 28.9 ± 3.4 mg rabbit IgG/ml medium, which is slightly lower than that of

18

the Pro-A Sepharose FF medium (GE healthcare) and about 20% higher than those of Hitrap

19

Pro-A HP and FF column (GE healthcare). The data shown here indicates that the Fc-III-4C

20

immobilized agarose beads produced have high binding capacity and low batch-to-batch

21

variation.

Scheme 2. The Fc-III-4C peptide was conjugated to NHS-activated agarose beads

3

4

To further test the stability and reusability of the Fc-III-4C immobilized agarose beads,

5

we incubated the beads with serum at different pH values (Figure 2A). Both the Fc-III-4C

6

and Pro-A beads exhibited the highest binding capacity at pH values between 6.5 and 7. At

7

lower pHs, the amount of purified IgGs decreased with the Pro-A beads losing their binding

8

capacity more rapidly than the Fc-III-4C beads (Figure 2A).

9

The reusability of Fc-III-4C and Pro-A beads was also examined using 6 M GnHCl or 2%

10

SDS as the clean-in-place reagent.The affinity of the Fc-III-4C beads towards IgG did not

11

change as dramatically as the affinity of Pro-A beads towards IgG. Even after 100

12

clean-in-place procedures, the Fc-III-4C beads retained 60% of their affinity to IgG after the

13

beads were treated with GnHCl, whereas the Pro-A beads only retained 40% of their affinity

14

to IgG Figure 2B & 2C). These results demostrates that the Fc-III-4C peptide immobilized

15

beads have higher reusability than the Pro-A beads, and are more stable than the Pro-A beads.

Immunofluorescence uses a specific antibody to detect protein localization in cells.

12

Utilizing the high binding affinity of the Fc-III-4C peptide with the Fc region of IgG, we

13

synthesized a fluorescence-labeled Fc-III-4C peptide to detect the primary antibody in

14

immunofluorescence experiments. The Fc-III-4C peptides were conjugated with FITC by the

15

isothiocyanate-amine reaction through the 6-aminohexanoic acid arm (Scheme 3). The

16

products were purified and analyzed by HPLC and detected by both UV absorbance and

17

fluorescence (Figure S7, S8 & S9). For a proof-of-principle experiment, we carried out an

18

experiment to detect β-tubulin localized in the cytoplasm10, and PCNA (Proliferating cell

19

nuclear antigen) localized in nuclei using the FITC-labeled Fc-III-4C peptide as the

20

immunofluorescence reagent. PCNA is a nuclear protein that is expressed during the DNA

21

synthesis phase of the cell cycle as a cofactor of DNA polymerase11-12. After cell fixation on a

22

glass slide, the primary antibodies, the mouse-derived monoclonal anti-β-tubulin antibody 11

and the rabbit-derived monoclonal anti-human PCNA antibody were respectively incubated

with the fixed cells, and then the FITC labeled Fc-III-4C peptide was added, followed by

Hochest 33342 nucleus staining. Fluorescence imaging showed that β-tubulin was present in

4

the cytoplasm, whereas PCNA was condensed as small granules that distributed in nuclei

(Figure 3). The FITC labeled Fc-III-4C peptide exhibited low staining background. Here,

Conclusions

2

The addition of two cysteine residues to the sequence of the Fc-III peptide generates a

3

double cyclic structure and increases by 30 folds of the binding affinity of the Fc-III peptide

4

to human IgG. The novel Fc-III-4C peptide also exhibits high binding affinities to various

5

IgGs from different species. The Fc-III-4C peptide is easy to prepare by routine solid-phase

6

synthesis, cyclized under mild oxidation conditions and can be further incorporated into a

7

recombinant protein expression system as a fusion tag. Using the primary amine labeling

8

approach, the Fc-III-4C peptide was conjugated to agarose beads and FITC through amide

9

bond and isothiocyanate-amine reactions, respectively. The Fc-III-4C immobilized agarose

10

beads have advantages over the Pro-A/G beads as an affinity matrix for efficient antibody

11

purification. Furthermore, the FITC-conjugated Fc-III-4C peptide is a useful detection

12

reagent for immunofluorescence analysis.
