New aqueous-aqueous two-phase systems composed of relatively low molecular weight polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Mr: 1000-1000) and dextran (Mr: 10,000 and 40,000) were evaluated for purification of proteins by counter-current chromatography (CCC). The compositions of aqueous two-phase systems were optimized by measuring parameters such as viscosity and volume ratio between the two phases. CCC purification of a glucosyltransferase (GTF) from Streptococcus mutans (SM) cell-lysate was successfully demonstrated with a 7.5% PEG 3350-10% dextran T40 system containing 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer at pH 9.0. After CCC purification, both PEG and dextran contained in the CCC fractions were easily removed by ultrafiltration in a short period of time. The fractionated column contents containing GTF were analyzed by enzymatic activity as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The recovery of the enzyme from CCC fraction was over 95% as estimated by enzymatic activities. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
