Expression of CCD in E. coli. Competent E. coli BL21(DE3) were transformed with pET-CCD or with pET-3d for control. These bacteria contain a chromosomal copy of the T7 RNA polymerase which is under the control of an inducible lacUV5 promoter (14). In order to express recombinant CCD, 400 ml of an overnight culture of transformed BL21(DE3) were added to 400 ml of Luria-Bertani medium (10 g/l bactotryptone, 10 g/l NaCl, 5 g/l yeast extract) containing ampicillin (100 mg/ml). Bacteria were cultured at 37􏰆C under vigorous supplemented with leupeptin and aprotinin (2 mg/ml each). Bacteria were then lysed by two passages through a French press at 14,000 psi and inclusion bodies were recovered by centrifugation at 8,000 1 g for 10 min at 4C. |

Purification of the recombinant CCD. Inclusion bodies from 100 ml of culture were solubilized in 3 ml of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5 containing 6 M urea. After centrifugation at 24,000 1 g for 20 min at 4􏰆C, an equal volume of sample buffer (250 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 4% (w/v) SDS, 20% (v/v) glycerol, 0.005% (w/v) bromophenol blue) was added. The recombinant CCD was purified and renatured by preparative polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (PrepCell 492, BioRad) using a 100 ml separating gel (15% acrylamid). Proteins were eluted in 25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, pH 8.8 at 4􏰆C. Fractions The catalytic domain of mouse collagenase-3 (CCD) containing the purified CCD were pooled and dialyzed three times against 20 volumes of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl and 3 mM NaN.
