| Expression and purification of recombinant mavicyanin. Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells carrying pMAV1-1 were grown at 37 °C in 1 l of LB broth containing 50 mg/ml ampicillin until OD600 􏰂 0.5 􏰁 1.0, and induced with 1 mM IPTG. After another 5 h of incubation at the same temperature, the cells were harvested by centrifugation (3000 x g, 10 min) and washed twice with 30 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) containing 30 mM NaCl (buffer A).
The cells (wet weight, 4 g) suspended in 20 ml of buffer A were disrupted well with KUBOTA insonater 201M ultrasonic oscillator. After centrifugation, the pellets (inclusion bodies) were washed with 1 M glucose (20 ml) and suspended in 2% Triton X-100, 10 mM EDTA solution (100 ml), being left overnight at 4 °C. |

| The washed pellets were solubilized with 5 ml of buffer B (30 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 30 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT) supplemented 8 M urea, and dialyzed against buffer B containing 4 M urea at 4 °C for 12 h. After another 24 h dialysis against buffer B, solubilized crude recombinant apoprotein was econstituted by dialysis against 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) containing 1 mM CuSO4 for overnight at 4 °C. Reconstituted protein was dialyzed against 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and applied onto a CM-Sephadex column (􏰆2.5 x 12.5 cm) preequilibrated with the same buffer. After the unabsorbed proteins were washed out with the 10 mM buffer, the recombinant mavicyanin was eluted with 20 mM buffer. The fractions containing mavicyanin identified by SDS-PAGE analysis were pooled and the recombinant protein thus purified was used for subsequent experiments. |
