RESUMO

In recent years, plants have been studied as bioreactors for the production of recombinant proteins with industrial and pharmaceutical interest. When compared to other expression systems, plants have several advantages, such as the possibility of posttranlationals modification, low production cost, low risk of contamination by human pathogens, and the accumulation of proteins in specific organs that can generate greater protein stability. Bioseparation is a key step in the bioprocessing of plant material used as biorreactors and chromatography a key unit operation in the bioseparation train. Negative chromatography - a chromatography in which the target protein is recovered in the nonretained fractions while impurities remain adsorbed in the matrix - allows product recovery in one step. Aiming to obtain the basic knowledge for further application in the purification of recombinant proteins produced in transgenic plants, in this work we evaluated the use of negative chromatography on Sepharose-TREN with spiking of proteins of wide pI range (human IgG), high pI (HSA and BSA) and low pI (aprotinin and lysozyme) added in soybean extract. Experiments using MES 25 mmol/L pH 6.5 as adsorption buffer, 2.8% of the total protein fed was found in flowthrough fractions. Adding 1.0 mg/mL of human IgG in soybean extracts, 38% of total protein was recovered in the washing step with 86% purity and purification factor of 4.6. Breakthrough curves showed that Sepharose-TREN presented a dynamic capacity of 25.4 mg of total protein per milliliter of gel at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Total protein adsorption was achieved when proteins of low pI were used while proteins of high pI were partially adsorbed, showing that the interactions between the adsorbent and TREN-Sepharose proteins are electrostatic. Sepharose-TREN was used as chelating ligand in IMAC with immobilized Ni(II) and Cu(II). Experiments with soybean extract spiked with IgG as feedstream solution resulted in similar purity but a lower IgG recovery than those with Sepharose-TREN in negative chromatography. Classic ion exchanger Sepharose-DEAE adsorbed the native soybean proteins while IgG was recovered in nonretained fractions with similar purity but lower recovery than when using Sepharose-TREN
