The invention belongs to the technical field of polypeptide preparation, and in particular, relates to a
fusion protein and a method for preparing a
liraglutide intermediate polypeptide GLP-1 (7-37).The method includes the main steps: constructing recombinant
liraglutide intermediate
engineering bacteria, expressing a GLP-1 (7-37)
fusion protein by culture and induction of
escherichia coli, and carrying out denaturation, renaturation,
enzyme digestion and separated purification to obtain the intermediate polypeptide GLP-1 (7-37). Through changing a sequence of leading
peptide, the expressionmode becomes an
intracellular insoluble inclusion body expression, and the expression quantity is remarkably increased;
inclusion bodies after washing are dissolved at high pH, and a large amount of denaturants are not needed to use, the
inclusion bodies after washing are added to a inclusion body dissolved
buffer solution at a
high protein concentration of 5-40 g / L, the renaturation time does notexceed 1 h, and enterokinase
digestion is carried out immediately after
dissolution; the renaturation process can be reduced, the
enzymatic digestion system is reduced, the cost of chemical reagentscan be reduced, and industrial amplification is facilitated;
ion exchange separation and purification can be used, and the separation degree is high. The prepared
liraglutide intermediate polypeptideGLP-1 (7-37) reaches 92% or more and the yield is more than 87%.
