GST stands for Glutathione S-transferase. It is a 211 amino acid protein (26 kDa) whose DNA sequence is frequently integrated into expression vectors for the production of recombinant proteins. GST is typically fused to the N-terminus of a recombinant protein through recombinant DNA technology. GST fusion protein has been widely used in recombinant protein expression and production. The fusion of the GST protein allows simple and efficient affinity purification of the GST-tagged protein using Glutathione affinity agarose resin. The GST-tag also can be used for detection in western blot by using a GST-tag-specific antibody. Supported by various types of protein purification services, scientists in KMD Bioscience insist on providing high-quality CRO services, including detailed information consultation, customizable experimental design and efficient implementation.

His-tagged Protein Purification Service:
|
Many recombinant proteins are expressed as fusion proteins, meaning that they contain an affinity/epitope tag (e.g. His or GST). Histidine-tagged protein(Fig 1) purification uses affinity chromatography to capture recombinant proteins with 4–10 histidine residues. His-tagged proteins can be purified from several expression systems under native or denaturing conditions. The main drawback is that the technique often requires optimization to minimize the nonspecific binding of host cell proteins. The protein binding capacity of resins is typically 10–40 mg/mL. The purity can be 95% or higher in KMD Bioscience's lab. |

Histidine-tagged protein purification can be used as the only purification step for applications that do not require proteins with extremely high purity. Histidine-tagged protein purification can be used to purify inclusion bodies as well. His-tagged proteins can be purified by a single-step affinity chromatography, namely immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), which is commercially available in different formats, Ni-NTA matrices being widely used. IMAC purification can equally be performed in prepacked columns using FPLC or other liquid chromatography instrumentation or using magnetic bead-based methods (Block et al., 2009). The histidine-tag is small, so it usually does not have to be removed.
Remove the tag if it interferes with the function of the target protein or if the target protein needs to be in a native state (e.g., for structural studies). Cleave the tag using a protease that recognizes the protease recognition sequence in the target protein. Some recombinant proteases are histidine-tagged, and can be easily removed after a second pass over the resin used to purify the protein of interest.
All proteins purified by KMD Bioscience are analyzed by SDS-PAGE gel to maintain high purity and integrity. All corresponding data will be provided to the customer. For other available analysis, please contact us today if you are interested in GST/His-tagged protein purification service.
