Galactosyl-biomimetic dye-ligands for the purification of Dactylium dendroides galactose oxidase.
Two anthraquinone galactosyl-biomimetic dye-ligands comprising, as terminal biomimetic moiety, galactose analogues (1-amino-1-deoxy-beta-D-galactose and D(+)-galactosamine) were designed for the enzyme galactose oxidase (GAO), using molecular modelling, synthesized and characterized. The biomimetic ligands were immobilized on agarose beads and the affinity adsorbents, together with a non-biomimetic adsorbent bearing Cibacron Blue 3GA, were studied for their ability to purify GAO from Dactylium dendroides. Both biomimetic adsorbents showed higher purifying ability for GAO compared to the non-biomimetic adsorbent, thus demonstrating their superior effectiveness as affinity chromatography materials. In particular, the affinity adsorbent comprising, as terminal biomimetic moiety, 1-amino-1-deoxy-beta-D-galactose (BM1) exhibited the highest purifying ability for GAO. This affinity adsorbent did not bind galactose dehydrogenase, glucose dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, or glucose oxidase. The dissociation constant (K(D)) of the immobilized BM1 ligand with GAO was found to be equal to 45.8 microM, whereas the binding capacity was equal to 709 U per ml adsorbent. Therefore, the BMI adsorbent was integrated in a facile two-step purification procedure for GAO. The purified enzyme showed a specific activity equal to 2038 U/mg, the highest reported so far, approximately 74% overall recovery and a single band after sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis.
