When the reaction solution after immobilization was collected and the immobilization rate was measured, it was confirmed that the immobilization efficiency was 95% or more. Next, the human IgG binding activity of each immobilized gel carrier was measured by the same method as in Reference Example 1.
- Table 8 shows the obtained results. From this result, even when the four lysine residues at positions 7, 13, 22, and 29 in SEQ ID NO: 2 were substituted with arginine, as in the case of the immunoglobulin binding domain 4, Improvement in human IgG binding activity was observed.
- the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin binding domain in protein L from Peptostreptococcus magnus 3316 strain is highly homologous to that from Peptostreptococcus magnus 312 strain. It has been confirmed that even when the globulin binding domain is subjected to the same mutation as described above, the alkali stability cannot be improved. That is, it can be said that the mutation that can improve the alkali stability demonstrated in Examples 1 to 3 is unique to the immunoglobulin binding domain in protein L derived from Peptostreptococcus magnus 3316 strain.

各イムノグロブリン結合ドメインの菌体抽出液をpH6.0に調整したのちに、陽イオン交換体SP-セファロースファストフロー(GEヘルスケア株式会社)カラムにアプライした。20mMリン酸バッファー(pH6.0)にて洗浄後、0.5M NaClの直線的濃度勾配によりカラムからタンパク質を溶出した。溶出液をSDS-PAGEにて確認したところ、目的となるイムノグロブリン結合ドメインは0.1から0.2M NaCl間に溶出していた。次に、イムノグロブリン結合ドメインを含む同溶出液のpHを9に調整した後に陰イオン交換体ギガキャップQ(東ソー株式会社)カラムに添加した。20mMリン酸バッファー(pH7.8)にて洗浄後、0.3M NaCl直線的濃度勾配にてイムノグロブリン結合ドメインを分離溶出した。各溶出液をSDS-PAGEに供して純度を確認した結果、各イムノグロブリン結合ドメインは理論値の分子量の位置に単一バンドとして精製されていることを確認した。
精製した各イムノグロブリン結合ドメインを、ホルミル活性化アガロースゲル担体に10mg/mLゲルの濃度で常法に従って、それぞれ固定化した。固定化後の反応溶液を回収し、固定化率を測定したところ、すべての各イムノグロブリン結合ドメインにおいて固定化効率が90%以上であった。更に固定化反応後のゲル担体をPBS溶液で洗浄後、40mg/mLのヒトIgG(化学及血清療法研究所より入手)を含むPBS溶液を加えて1時間振とうした後に、PBSで洗浄したゲル担体から0.1M グリシン塩酸バッファー(pH2.5)でゲル担体に結合したヒトIgGを溶出した。その溶出液を分光光度計にて280nmの吸収を測定し、13.8(1g-1cm-1)の比吸光係数をもとに結合したイムノグロブリン量(IgG結合活性)を求めた。
分子間相互作用解析装置BLItz(ポール社製)を用いて溶液中の各イムノグロブリン結合ドメインとヒトIgG及びヒトFab断片との相互作用を解析した。ビオチン化ヒトIgGはビオチン化キット(EZ-Link Biotinylation Kit、サーモフィッシャーサイエンティフィック社製)を用いて調製した。0.1% BSA(牛血清アルブミン)含有20mM MES緩衝液(pH6.5)で0.1mg/mLに調製したビオチン化IgGとストレプトアビジンセンサーチップを室温で60分間インキュベートすることにより、IgG固定化チップを作製した。その後、20mM MES緩衝液(pH6.5)で洗浄した同センサーチップを精製イムノグロブリン結合ドメインPL-021、PL-022、PL-023、及びPL-014の各1.6μg/mL濃度を含む0.1%BSA含有20mM MES緩衝液(pH6.5)に添加し、50秒後の各イムノグロブリン結合ドメインの結合量をそれぞれ測定した。その結果、PL-014>PL-023=PL-022>PL-021の順位で結合活性が高かった。
次に、4つのイムノグロブリン結合ドメイン固定化ゲル担体を0.1M NaOH水溶液で3回洗浄して同アルカリ溶液に置換した後に25℃にて17時間保温した。その後、PBSで3回洗浄し、前記と同条件でヒトIgG結合活性を測定した。アルカリ処理前のそれぞれのIgG結合量を100%としたときの17時間処理後の残存IgG結合量の割合をアルカリ処理後の残存活性(%)として求めた。得られた結果を表2に示す。
