Abstract
Methods are presented for producing and purifying a variable fusion polypeptide which can be purified by affinity chromatography with the binding protein partner. The variable fusion polypeptide construct has tandem coupled segments containing one or more copies of a desired peptide linked to carbonic anhydrase as the purification binding protein. In the methods, the fusion protein is expressed in a recombinant host using a recombinant vector containing a gene encoding the fusion polypeptide. Then the expressed fusion polypeptide is purified by immobilized reversible inhibitor affinity chromatography. Finally, the purified fusion polypeptide is cleaved from the desired peptides by chemical or enzymatic means and the desired peptides purified with affinity chromatography.
