RT Journal Article T1 Affinity partitioning of proteins tagged with choline-binding modules in aqueous two-phase systems A1 Maestro García-Donas, María Beatriz A1 Velasco, Isabel A1 Castillejo, Isabel A1 Arevalo-Rodriguez, Miguel A1 Cebolla, Ángel A1 Sanz, Jesús AB We present a novel procedure for affinity partitioning of recombinant proteins fused to the choline-binding module C-LytA in aqueous two-phase systems containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Proteins tagged with the C-LytA module and exposed to the two-phase systems are quantitatively localized in the PEG-rich phase, whereas subsequent addition of the natural ligand choline specifically shifts their localization to the PEG-poor phase by displacement of the polymer from the binding sites. The described procedure is simple, scalable and reproducible, and has been successfully applied to the purification of four diverse proteins, resulting in high yields and purity.
