Immobilized nitro-avidin and nitro-streptavidin as reusable affinity matrices for application in avidin-biotin technology

Analytical Biochemistry

Abstract

Chemically modified forms of egg-white avidin and bacterial streptavidin (termed nitro-avidin and nitro-streptavidin, respectively), in which the binding-site tyrosine was nitrated, were used for several biotechnological applications. The fundamental difference between nitro-avidin and the native protein is that interaction of the modified protein with biotin can be reversed under relatively mild conditions. Consequently, nitro-avidin affinity columns or immobilizing matrices can be reused. Three examples are given to demonstrate the possible uses of such columns: (a) biotinylated protein A was attached to a nitro-avidin affinity column, and immunoglobulin was purified directly from whole rabbit serum; (b) biotinylated transferrin was attached to a nitro-streptavidin column, and anti-transferrin was isolated directly from rabbit anti-serum; and (c) biotinylated beta-glucosidase was immobilized onto a nitro-avidin column and used as an enzyme reactor. In each example, the immobilized biotinylated probe could be released selectively from the column and recovered following its utilization. Reusable nitro-avidin thus provides an easy and attractive reversible form of avidin and thereby serves to expand the versatility of avidin-bio...Continue Reading
