Description
SEPARATION OF GLYCO-CONTAINING ENTITIES
Technical field
The present invention relates to the separation of glyco- containing entities. More particulary, the present invention relates to a method for the separation of at least one glyco- containing entity dissolved/suspended in a liquid and a method of reducing interactions others than glyco-boronate in boro- nate chromatography of samples including glyco- and non- glyco-containing entities.
Background art
Glycoproteins are proteins containing carbohydrates which are attached to a polypeptide backbone by covalent linkage. They occur in fungi, green plants, bacteria, viruses and higher animal cells where they serve a variety of functions. These functions may be grouped within a number of headings, i.e. those glycoproteins, which form structural elements include cell wall glycoproteins of yeasts and green plants, as well as the connective tissue glycoproteins such as the collagens and proteoglycans of various animal species. Some glycoproteins perform as transport proteins in blood plasma, e.g. transferrin and ceruloplasmin. Other form components of plasma membranes and act as antigenic determinants or as hormone- or virus-receptors and play a role in cell surface interactions. In addition, quite a few enzymes are glycosyl- ated, including ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease, α-amylase and invertase.
Well-defined glycoproteins both in the terms of the peptide sequence and carbohydrate content are needed for study of their structure-function relationship; for special biological uses, in therapy and for a full chemical description when they are subjected for medical legislation. However, glycoproteins in a homogeneous form cannot be easily isolated by a uniform procedure because of the diversity in both the degree
of glycosylation and the type of monosaccharides involved. Compared with non-glycosylated proteins, the microheterogene- ity or polydispersity in glycoproteins requires more considerations on their purification and characterization.
Affinity chromatography is often chosen for the isolation of glycoproteins. Thus, for instance, the ability of boronate to form complexes with hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates is exploited in boronate affinity chromatography [1] . The interac- tion is not only specific for carbohydrates, as any compound containing hydroxyl groups in a proper orientation will form a moderately stable complex with the boronate. As a consequence boronate chromatography can, for example, be used for the separation of glycoproteins, nucleosides and catechol compounds [2-4] . A variety of other functional groups such as -hydroxycarboxylic acids, aromatic α-hydroxy acids and amides can also interact with boronates. These functional groups can be found in the compounds like lactic acid, salicylic acid, salicylamide and steroids [5,6].
There are also examples given in the literature of interactions between boronates and non-glycosylated enzymes such as lactamases [7] , subtilisin
[8] , trypsin [9] , α-chymo- trypsin [10] , pepsin [11] and β-amylase [12] . One presumption is that the complex formed between the boronate and the enzyme mimics the transition state complex. Enzyme inhibition studies are used to demonstrate this hypothesis [8, 9, 13] . Other reports emphasize that secondary interactions are responsible for the complex formation [12, 14].
Although boronate chromatography was introduced in the 1970s, the number of successful applications for purification of glycoproteins is still limited. One explanation might be the existence of protein-boronate complex formation that reduces the capacity and purification efficiency of this method.
Boronate chromatography would be a much more powerful tool in glycoprotein purificaiton schemes if it was possible to only facilitate the interactions of boronate ligands with the car-
bohydrate moieties of glycoproteins by selectively eliminating the interactions with the protein backbone.
Disclosure of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for the separaton of at least one glyco-containing entity such as a glycoprotein from a liquid by using boronate chromatography in which interactions others than glyco-boronate pri- marily of non-glycosylated proteins as well as binding to the protein backbone are considerably reduced or eliminated.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of purifying a crude glycoprotein product from non- glycosylated protein impurities to obtain a substantially pure glycoprotein product .
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method by means of which glyco-containing entities of differ- ent types and/or degrees of glycosylation can be separated from each other.
It is yet another object of the present invention to reduce interactions others than glyco-boronate of non-glycosylated entities, e.g. binding to the protein backbone, in boronate chromatography of samples including glyco- and non-glyco- containing entities.
In the boronate chromatography technique for the separation of glyco-containing entities from a sample, said entities, dissolved or suspended in a liquid, are contacted with a polymer, which has boronic acid covalently coupled to said polymer and has previously been equilibrated with said liquid, to form a boronate-glyco-complex whereafter the glyco- containing entities are released from the boronate-modified polymer.
The present invention is based on the discovery that when adding tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris) to the liquid in a boronate chromatography method for the separation of glyco-containing entities the interactions others than glyco- boronate were substantially reduced. This effect was most surprising in view of the fact that it is recommended in literature to avoid using Tris and other compounds containing polyhydroxyls during boronate chromatography, since such substances can reduce the binding capacity of the boronate matrix by direct competition [14, 15] . However, further investigations by the present inventors revealed that a well-controlled addition of certain chemicals containing polyhydroxyl groups can increase the separation efficiency remarkably.
Thus according to the present invention there is provided a method for the separation of at least one glyco-containing entity, in which method said entity or entities dissolved/ suspended in a liquid is/are contacted with a polymer, which has boronic acid covalently coupled to said polymer and pre- viously has been equilibrated with said liquid, to form a boronate-glyco-complex whereafter the glyco-containing entity or entities is/are released from the boronate-modified polymer, wherein said liquid contains one or more substances capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate ani- ons, which complexes are weaker than the boronate-glyco- complex but stronger than complexes formed by interactions others than glyco-boronate.
The substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate anions is thus adsorbed in accordance with the present invention to the affinity matrix polymer via single or multipoint attachment to the boronate anions. The binding is relatively weak as compared to the specific interactions between the boronate anions and the target biomolecules, e.g. glycoproteins. Said substance therefore specifically protects the boronate anions from still weaker non-specific interactions. The strong specific interactions are not affected and
can be realised even in the presence of said substance. As a result, a significant improvement of the chromatography efficiency is obtained. The concept of using substances binding to an affinity matrix with comparatively weak interaction to protect from non-specific interactions has been termed "molecular shielding" and has been used for suppressing nonspecific interactions in dye affinity chromatography [16, 17] .
The term "chromatography" as used here and in the claims is intended to include purification techniques based on bindning to boronic acid/anions coupled to a polymer.
The term "glyco-containing entity" as used here and in the claims is intended to cover all kinds of glyco-conjugates but glycoproteins and -peptides are the primarily contemplated glyco-conjugates .
The term "glycoproteins" as used here and in the claims is intended to encompass naturally occurring glycoproteins and -peptides as well as glycoproteins and -peptides synthetically prepared (neoglycoproteins) .
Liquids to be used as the liquid in which the glyco-containing entity is dissolved/suspended in the method according to the present invention are substantially the same as those conventionally used in boronate chromatography except that a substance capable of forming complexes of a certain strength with boronic acids/boronate anions has been added.
In order to form complexes with boronate/boronic acid, the solution should have an appropriate pH-value, depending on the type of covalent coupling of boronic acid to the matrix. In the case of coupling of boronate/boronic acid via a phenyl residue, pH is usually in the range of 7.5 to 8.5, preferably 8.0. One example of a buffer to be used as said liquid in the method of the present invention is 0.02M N- (2-hydroxy- ethyl) piperazine-N'- (3-propanesulfonic acid) (EPPS) -NaOH + 0.5
NaCl + substance capable of forming a complex with boronate/ boronic acid.
A preferred group of substances to be used as the substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate anions (the "shielding substance") comprises substances which contain a structure of the formula (HOCH2)3C- or (HOCH2CH)3N. Exemples of such substances are :
Pentaerythritol, tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, tri- ethanolamine, N-tris- (hydroxymethyl) methyl-2 -aminoethane- sulfonic acid, 1, 1, 1-tris (hydroxymethyl) ethane, N-tris- (hydroxymethyl) methyl-acrylamide, trimethylolpropane .
Another perferred group of substances to be used as a shielding substance in accordance with the present invention comprises polyols, mono- and disaccharides and polymers. Examples thereof are: D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, D-fructose, xyli- tol, D-threitol, polyvinyl alcohol, D-ribose, D-lactose, D- arabinose, D-galactose, S (+) -erythrulose hydrate, D-maltose, D-glucose and sucrose.
Another example of a substance which can be used as a shielding substance in accordance with the present invention is (1R, 3R, 4R, 5R) -quinic acid.
Examples of useful substances also include mono-, di- and oligoglucosides and other derivatives containing vicicinal hydroxyl groups and capable of interacting with boronic acid/boronate anions. The fitness of a certain substance to be used as a shielding substance and the optimum concentration for its use can be investigated as follows:
A chromatographic column is first equilibrated with a buffer containing no shielding substance. Then a solution of a protein P causing interaction with the boronate anion dissolved in the same buffer is loaded onto the column. The column is washed thoroughly with the same buffer until there is no pro-
tein absorption in the effluent. Elution is then carried out by applying a linear concentration gradient of the investigated shielding substance dissolved in the buffer. The column is finally regenerated with acetic acid (e.g. 0.05 M, pH 4.5) .
The shielding efficiency of each investigated substance is determined from its chromatogram as follows: The total amount of bound P, T (mg) , is taken as the sum of P in the elution peak, E (mg) , and in the acetic acid peak, C (mg) . The "elu- tion percentage", E/T (%) , is defined as the fraction of the bound P eluted from the column by the investigated substance. The "optimum concentration" (M) of an investigated substance is defined as the concentration corresponding to the highest point of the elution peak. The shielding efficiency is evalu- ated by combining the optimum concentration and the elution percentage. A substance with a high shielding efficiency thus provides a high elution percentrage at a low optimum concentration.
In the method according to the present invention the chroma- tographic column is first equilibrated with the liquid containing the shielding substance which will result in the formation of a complex between the shielding substance in said liquid and the boronate anions of the polymer in the column. Then the liquid containing glyco-containing entities, e.g. glycoproteins dissolved or suspended therein is applied to the column, which will result in the formation of boronate- glyco-complexes . The column is then washed with the same buffer until there is no detectable protein in the effluent.
The bound protein is then eluted in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention by using a buffer solution containing the substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acid/boronate anions at a higher concentration than that used in the liquid in which the glyco-containing entities were dissolved/suspended or containing another substance capable of displacing the glycosylated entity or entities.
After elution is finished, the polymer modified with boronic acid/boronate anions is regenerated prior to the next use by a solution with low pH, for instance an acetic acid solution at pH 4.5.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention elution is carried out by incrementally increasing the concentration of the substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate anions (i.e. the "shielding substance") in the eluting solution in order to separate glyco-containing entities of different types and/or degrees of glycosylation.
After recovery of the eluate containing glyco-containing entities the shielding substance is removed from said eluate.
The method according to the present invention may also be applied on an aqueous solution of a crude glycoprotein product isolated from a sample by a method other than that of the present inveniton and containing non-glycosylated protein impurities with the aim of purifying said product.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of interactions other than glyco-boronate in boronate chromatography of samples containing glyco- containing and non-glycosylated entities dissolved/suspended in a liquid, wherein binding of the glyco-containing entities to the boronic acids/boronate anions to form a boronate- glyco-complex is carried out by using a liquid containing a substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/ boronate anions which complexes are weaker than the boronate- glyco-complex but stronger than complexes formed by interactions others than glyco-boronate.
Substances to be used in the method of this aspect of the invention are as set forth previously.
The invention will now be further illustrated by means of a number of examples which should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Protein assay-
The absorbance at 280 nm was measured and the concentration of cht was calculated as: [Cht]mg/mι = 0.49 x A28o nm/mi [18] . This method was used when there was no contribution to the absorption at 280 nm from other components in the sample. The Bio-Rad protein assay was utilised when there was interfer- ence. This assay technique was developed based on the Bradford method [19] . A 5.0 ml volume of diluted dye reagent (1 part Dye Reagent Concentration mixed with 4 parts distilled, deionized water) was added to 100 μl of the standard and sample solutions. α-Cht was chosen as standard. After incubat- ing at room temperature for at least 5 minutes, the absorbance was measured at 595 nm

Evaluation of potential shielding reagents
Chromatography of native chymotrypsin under non-shielding condition
APBA agarose was packed into the column (0.7 I.D. x 3.9 cm) and equilibrated with 0.05 M EPPS-NaOH (pH 8.5). α-Cht (5 mg) was dissolved in the same buffer (1 ml) and applied to the column. The column was washed thoroughly with the same buffer until there was no protein absorption in the effluent, Acetic acid (0.05 M, pH 4.5) was applied to elute the bound protein. The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min during the whole chromatographic process.
Chromatography of native chymotrypsin under shielding condition
The column (1.0 I.D. x 12.6 cm) packed with APBA agarose was equilibrated with 0.05 M Na-phosphate, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 7.0. α-Cht (30 mg) was dissolved in the 10 ml of the same buffer and loaded onto the column. The column was washed thoroughly with the same buffer until there was no protein absorption in the effluent. Elution was carried out by applying a linear concentration gradient of the investigated reagent dissolved in 0.02 M EPPS-NaOH, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.0. The total gradient elution volume was 20 times the bed volume. The column was finally rinsed with acetic acid (0.05 M, pH 4.5). The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min for loading and washing and 1.0 ml/min for elution.
The shielding efficiency of each investigated reagent was determined from its chromatogram as follows: The total amount of bound cht, T (mg) , was taken as the sum of the cht in the elution peak, E (mg) , and in the acetic acid peak, C (mg) .
The elution percentage, E/T (%) , was defined as the fraction of the bound cht eluted from the column by the investigated reagent. The optimum concentration (M) of an investigated reagent was defined as the concentration corresponding to the highest point of the elution peak. The shielding efficiency was evaluated by combining the optimum concentration and the elution percentage . A reagent with a high shielding efficiency thus provides a high elution percentage at a low opti mum concentration .
The results are given in the Table 1.
Chromatography of native chymotrypsin under shielding conditions
The column (0.9 I.D. x 2.4 cm) packed with APBA agarose was equilibrated with the buffer containing a shielding reagent (Tris, for example): 0.05 M Tris, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.0. α-Cht
(3.5 mg) was dissolved in the same buffer and loaded to the column. The column was washed with same buffer until there was no detectable protein in the effluent. Acetic acid (0.05 M, pH 4.5) was used to regenerate the column. Result: No Cht was bound to the column and hence not eluted with acetic acid. The flow rate was 3 cm/h for the binding and 17 cm/h for regeneration.
From table 1 it can be seen that the comparative substances (Examples 23 to 28) had a low shielding efficiency compared to that of the substances according to the invention. Not more than 83 % of the bound cht can be eluted using as high concentrations as 0.8 M or more. At a concentration of 1.0 M of glycerol, neopentyl glycol and lactic acid, the percentage of bound cht eluted from column was 0%, 55% and 70% respectively. Although glycerol contains three hydroxyl groups, the rigid configuration of this molecule makes interaction with boronate anion involving all three hydroxyls impossible. Neopentyl glycerol contains two hydroxyls and its interaction with boronate anion is thus restricted to two hydroxyls. Lactic acid interacts with the boronate anion via charge trans- fer, but only complexes with two of the three hydroxyls of the boronate anion. Methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside and methyl-α- D-glucopyranoside do not contain Cι~0H and their shielding efficiency is reduced as compared to that of D-glucose and D- galactose. This fact suggests that Cx-OH is important for the complex formation with the boronate anion. Methyl-α-D- glucopyranoside had an even lower shielding efficiency than methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside, indicating that the hydroxyl groups at C2, C3 and C6 positions are more suitable for the interaction than those at C2, C4 and C6 positions. A single carbon/nitrogen atom is a more suitable core for the formation of tridentate complexes compared to 1, 3 , 5-tris (2- hydroxy-ethyl) cyanuric acid.
Example 29
Chromatography of a mixture of cht and cht-mal under shielding condition and re-chromatography of fractions obtained from the first chromatography
The APBA agarose column (0.7 I.D. x 10 cm) was equilibrated with the buffer containing a shielding reagent, for example Tris (0.12 M Tris-HCl, 0.02 M EPPS-NaOH, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.0). The sample (4 mg) consisting of both non-glycosylated cht and cht-mal was dissolved in the same buffer and applied to the column. The column was washed with the same buffer until there was no detectable protein in the effluent . The bound protein was then eluted using acetic acid (0.05 M, pH 4.5) . The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min for binding and washing and 0.4 ml/min for elution.
Cht was not bound to the column and appeared in the breakthrough fraction while cht-mal was bound and eluted from the matrix using acetic acid.
The breakthrough and acetic acid elution fractions obtained from the chromatography presented above were dialysed thoroughly against 0.12 M Tris-HCl, 0.02 M EPPS-NaOH, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.0. The breakthrough fraction was then applied on the same column and rechromatographed according to the same protocol . The same procedure was repeated for the acetic acid elution fraction. The retention volumes of these two peaks were exactly the same in the rechromatography as in the first chromatography.
Example 30
Chromatography of a mixture of cht and cht-mal under non- shielding condition and re-chromatography of fractions obtained from the initial chromatography
An APBA agarose column (0.7 I.D. x 10 cm) was equilibrated with the loading buffer containing no shielding reagent, 0.02 M EPPS-NaOH, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.0. A sample (4 mg) consisting of both non-glycosylated cht and cht-mal was dissolved in the same buffer and applied to the column. The column was washed with 7 bed volumes of the same buffer. Both cht and cht-mal were shown to be bound to the boronate column. The bound protein was then eluted respectively with buffer B (0.02 M EPPS- NaOH, 0.5 M NaCl, 0.12 M Tris, pH 8.0), buffer C (0.02 M
EPPS-NaOH, 0.5 M NaCl, 0.5 M Tris, pH 8.0) and acetic acid (0.05 M, pH 4.5). The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min for binding and washing and 0.4 ml/min for elution.
The fraction eluted by buffer B containing 0.12 M Tris was collected and dialysed against loading buffer, 0.02 M EPPS, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.0 and rechromatographed. The retention volumes were the same as in the initial chromatography illustrating that the separation was efficient. The sugar content of this fraction was also analysed. No detectable sugar content was obtained in this fraction.

Method according to any of claims 1-9, wherein the glyco-containing entity or entities is/are released from the boronate-modified polymer by elution carried out by incrementally increasing the concentration of the substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate anions in the eluting solution in order to separate glyco-containing entities of different types and/or degrees of glycosylation.
11. Method according to any of claims 1-10, which is applied on an aqueous solution of a crude glycoprotein product containing non-glycosylated protein impurities with the aim of purifying said product.
12. Method of reducing interactions other than glyco- boronate in boronate chromatography of samples containing glyco-containing and non-glycosylated entities dissolved/suspended in a liquid, wherein binding of the glyco- containing entities to the boronic acids/boronate anions to form a boronate-glyco-complex is carried out by using a liquid containing a substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate anions which complexes are weaker than the boronate-glyco-complex but stronger than complexes formed by interactions others than glyco-boronate.
13. Method according to claim 12, wherein said substance capable of forming complexes with boronic acids/boronate anions is as set forth in any of claims 2 to 6.
