1
Purification of CCS, copper chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase Sean McIntyre Lab: Dr. Joe Beckman
2
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Progressive, neurodegenerative 5000 diagnoses per year Mutant SOD (metal deficient)
3
Superoxide Dismutase O2-O2- ONOO - SOD
4
Superoxide Dismutase O2-O2- ONOO - Cellular Proteins (structural, enzymatic) Nitrated Proteins - One motor neuron connects to one muscle fiber Catalytic SOD
5
CCS Assembly of superoxide dismutase- Copper chaperone binds to SOD, inserts copper Size- 28.5 kD one-metal SOD
6
Why look at CCS? SOD mutants of interest are metal deficient mutants, look at mutant SOD-CCS interaction –Different interactions –Why are mutants metal deficient? –Addition/removal of metal from SOD as a means of “deactivating” mutants
7
CCS Purification -Optimizing plasmid and induction temperature -Isolation -Extraction of protein from bacteria -Anion exchange column -Size separation column -Preventing aggregation -Copper/Zinc addition -BME addition

10
Isolation: First Steps +Cu
11
Isolation: Anion Exchange Chromatography Peaks 1 2 3 4 5
12
Isolation: Anion Exchange Chromatography 25 kD 37 kD 50 kD 25 kD 37 kD 50 kD pelletspeaks 1 2 3 4 5
13
Isolation: Size exclusion chromatography Similar to gel electrophoresis, separates proteins based on size -Larger size = slower movement
14
Aggregation 25 kD 37 kD 50 kD +Cu/Zn -Cu/Zn
