Protein G is a bacterial cell wall protein isolated from group G Streptococci. Native Protein G contains two IgG-binding domains and sites for albumin and cell surface binding. The albumin and cell surface binding domains have been eliminated from purified Recombinant Protein G to reduce nonspecific binding and, therefore, can be used to separate IgG from crude samples. Optimal binding occurs at pH 5, although binding is also good at pH 7.0-7.2. Protein G has greater affinity than Protein A for most mammalian IgGs, it may be used for the purification of mammalian IgGs that do not bind well to Protein A. Protein G does not bind to human IgM, IgD and IgA.
Native protein is ~65kD. It contains two albumin binding domains at the N-terminus and 3 IgG binding domains (~55aa each) at the C-terminus. Recombinant protein G does not contain albumin binding domains. Differences in binding characteristics between Protein A and Protein G may be explained by the differing compositions in the IgG-binding sites of each protein, and sequence differences between Protein A and Protein G. Variations in isolation and purifications methods for Protein G may affect IgG binding, partially because there are differing numbers of IgG-binding sites on various sources of Protein G.
