Abstract

This study was carried out to separate ovotransferrin in chicken egg white by gel chromatography and heparin affinity chromatography. In gel filtration which was performed with 50mM Phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt) at a flow rate of 2.0 ml/min, ovotransferrin and ovalbumin were eluted together in fraction number 11-16. In order to separate pure ovotransferrin, fraction No. 12-14 of them which have high concentration of ovotransferrin were concentrated and rechromatographed. However, the ovotransferrin did not separated clearly. In heparin affinity chromatography, the separation was performed with 50mM ethylaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, pH7.2) and 50mM Phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt contained) on ferrous and ferric ion saturated column at as same flow rate as gel filtration system's. Ovotransferrin and albumin were eluted together at 10-15min (fraction No.3) and 15-20min (fraction No.4), respectively. However, purified ovotransferrin was eluted at 156-165min and 165-175min (tube No.32-33) with 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt free), respectively. Heparin affinity chromatography with ferric ion saturated column was resulted in the best separation of ovotransferrin rather than separation by gel chromatography and ferrous ion saturated heparin affinity chromatography.

난백 단백질 중 ovotransferrin을 gel chromato- graphy와 heparin affinity chromatography를 통하여 분리 하였다. 1차 gel filtration의 경우에 샘플인젝션 후 65-70min(fraction No. 14) 이후에는 ovalbumin이 ovotransferrin과 혼입되어 분리되고 오히려 ovalbumin의 농도가 더 높은 분포를 보였다. 고순도의 ovotransferrin을 분리하기 위하여 다시 fraction No. 12-14을 농축한 뒤 gel filtration을 실시한 결과 ovotransferrin이 완전히 분리되지 않았는데 이는 gel filtration만의 반복을 통해서 순수한 ovotransferrin을 얻는 것이 비효과적임을 의미하는 것으로 판단된다. Ovotransferrin을 heparin affinity chromatography을 이용하여 분리한 경우 칼럼에 Fe2+를 고정시킨 후 50mM EDTA를 흘려 주었는데 ovalbumin이 5-10분경에 용출이 되었고 10-15분경에 ovalbumin과 ovotransferrin이 같이 용출되었다. 그 후에 50mM Phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt)를 흘려주었는데 여전히 ovalbumin의 밴드가 보여 순수하지 않음을 확인하였다. Fe3+를 컬럼에 고정시킨 후 50mM EDTA를 흘려주었을 때 ovalbumin이 10-15분경에 용출이 되었고 15-20분경에 ovalbumin과 ovotransferrin이 같이 용출되었지만 50mM Phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt free)를 흘려주었을 때 156-165분경에 ovalbumin이 혼입되지 않은 매우 순수한 ovotransferrin이 용출되는 것을 확인하였다. 위의 결과를 종합해볼 때 gel chromatography를 반복적으로 실시한 경우 보다는 heparin affinity chromatography를 이용하여 분리하고 컬럼에 Fe2+를 고정시킨 경우보다 Fe3+를 고정시켰을 때 더욱 순수한 ovotransferrin을 분리해낼 수 있었다.
