The Endo F2gene was overexpressed in E.coli as a fusion protein joined to
the maltose-binding protein. MBP-Endo F2was found in a highly enriched
state as insoluble, inactive inclusion bodies. Extraction of the inclusion
bodies with 20% acetic acid followed by exhaustive dialysis rendered the
fusion protein active and soluble. MBP-Endo F2was digested with Factor
Xaand purified on Q-Sepharose. The enzyme was homogeneous by SDS-PAGE, and
appeared as a single symmetrical peak on HPLC. Analysis of the
amino-terminus demonstrated conclusively that recombinant Endo F2was
homogeneous and identical to the native enzyme.
