Abstract

MMP-12 is a drug target for cancer therapy, but it’s over-expressed as inclusion bodies in E. coli To produce it in a large scale, in this paper, NMR, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, and ANS (8-anilinol-naphthalenesul fonic acid) fluorescence were employed to monitor its aggregation state to improve the refolding yield from inclusion bodies. The midpoint for the refolding (Cm≈4, mid-point of transition) of MMP-12 obtained from NMR experiments coincides with those from intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and ANS fluorescence. These data suggest that the urea concentration from 4 mol/L to 3 mol/L is a key step in refolding process of MMP-12. Based on these results, we changed the refolding method from conventional step-wise dialysis to continuous dialysis, thus the refolding yield of MMP-12 from its inclusion bodies was doubled.
