This research focuses on the construction of an affinity purification system based on Cfa DnaE split intein. Cfa DnaE intein is an artificially constructed intein with the advantages of a fast cleavage reaction and good stability. In a previous study, a purification system that uses Cfa intein as a tag was constructed, the separation of the target protein and the tag during the purification process was completed, and the purity of the purified target protein reached 98.21%. Guided by molecular docking results, we identified flexible regions in the split intein and inserted several glycines into the protein to decrease the stability of the Cfa IC , thereby improving the regenerability of the IN media. Inserting 6 glycines between amino acids 14 and 15 of IC improved the regeneration rate of IC -GFP on the column to approximately 96%. © 2022 American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
