Résumé
Neurotensin (NT) is a 13-residue endogenous peptide found in mammals, with neurotransmission and hormonal roles in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, respectively. The first residue of NT is a pyroglutamate (pGlu) that makes the expression and purification of large amounts of NT with native modification challenging. Here, we describe a simple and efficient procedure for expression and purification of large amounts of NT based on using the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) as a fusion partner and subsequent enzymatic conversion of the N-terminal glutamine to pGlu. Yields of 13 mg/L and 8 mg/L of pure peptide were obtained from expression in rich and minimal media, respectively. The method is adaptable to expression and purification of proteins and peptides with pGlu modification in a wide range of eukaryotic and prokaryotic expression hosts.
