The workflow is compatible with high-throughput formats and scalable from microplates to fermenters, offering significant advantages over conventional purification methods. The purified CA retained full biological activity, as demonstrated by its ability to assemble into higher-order structures in a salt- and protein concentration–dependent manner in vitro. We further evaluated the effects of two well-characterized capsid modulators: CAI, a peptide inhibitor, and lenacapavir (LEN), a clinically approved capsid-targeting drug. Turbidity-based assembly assays confirmed that CAI inhibited and LEN enhanced CA assembly in a dose-dependent manner. When co-administered, CAI and LEN exhibited mutually antagonistic effects. Preincubation with CAI abolished LEN-mediated enhancement, indicating a potential conformational lock imposed by CAI. These findings demonstrate that the column-free strategy enables efficient production of functionally active CA protein suitable for downstream biochemical and inhibitor screening assays. The approach provides a practical tool for accelerating HIV-1 capsid research and antiviral discovery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20757,"journal":{"name":"Protein expression and purification","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 106766"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144517787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a member of the C-subfamily of ABC proteins (ABCC), Ycf1p also contains an N-terminal extension comprised of an additional TMD (TMD0) and L0 linker.

While production of NBD1 from Ycf1p and other ABC proteins has been accomplished, generating samples of NBD2 from different ABC proteins has been elusive for the most part, particularly for ABCC proteins. We show that NBD2 preparation necessitates minimizing dimerization and aggregation of the protein at multiple steps during the purification, which is accomplished by employing a solubility tag, eliminating nucleotides from the buffers, and limiting the duration of spin concentrating steps.
