ABSTRACT
While nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) has greatly advanced recombinant protein purification, its limitations, including nonspecific binding and partial purification for certain proteins, highlight the necessity for additional purification such as size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography. However, specialized equipment such as FPLC is typically needed but not often available in many laboratories. Here, we show a novel method utilizing polyphosphate (polyP) for purifying proteins with histidine repeats via non-covalent interactions. Our study demonstrates that immobilized polyP efficiently binds to histidine-tagged proteins across a pH range of 5.5-7.5, maintaining binding efficacy even in the presence of reducing agent DTT and chelating agent EDTA. We carried out experiments of purifying various proteins from cell lysates and fractions post-Ni-NTA. Our results demonstrate that polyP resin is capable of further purification post-Ni-NTA without the need for specialized equipment and without compromising protein activity. This cost-effective and convenient method offers a viable approach as a complementary approach to Ni-NTA.
