PNGase F is a widely used deglycosidase, secreted in small amounts by the gram-negative bacterium Flavobacterium meningosepticum. We have designed a T7 promoter-based Escherichia coli expression system to provide a high-yield source of recombinant enzyme. When expressed intracellularly, the enzyme was produced in a largely insoluble state. However, when expressed as a fusion with the leader sequence from the ompA gene, hexahistidine-tagged PNGase F was efficiently processed and exported to the E. coli periplasm. Single-step purification using immobilized metal affinity chromatography yielded 8 mg of pure enzyme per liter of culture, which is fully active on a range of protein and peptide substrates.
