Abstract
However, the fibronectin-binding protein expressed in soluble form could not be purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography possibly because of partially buried Histidine tag in the recombinant fusion protein. Therefore, the protein was expressed as inclusion bodies (IBs) at 37 °C and solubilized in urea followed by purification in denatured form by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The purified denatured protein was refolded in vitro to structurally stable and biologically active form. The conformational properties of the refolded protein were studied by circular dichroism, which showed prominence of α+ β structural element. The refolded FBP also showed significant binding to human intestinal tissue sections. Our optimized refolding protocol from IBs of this recombinant probiotic FBP led into high amounts of biologically active protein. Our results help in increasing understanding of structure-function relation of surface adhesion proteins and host-microbial interactions.
