| The human TPC6 and TPC5 cDNAs were cloned into the bacterial expression vector pQTEV (Scheich et al, 2004) and expressed in superior broth (SB) medium with 1 mM isopropyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside. |

| TPC6 was purified with Ni affinity chromatography, after tag cleavage by the tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease (encoding plasmid was kindly provided by Gunter Stier, EMBL Heidelberg). TPC6 was subjected to size-exclusion chromatography and concentrated to 9.7 mg ml−1. TPC5 was purified from inclusion bodies under denaturing conditions (8 M urea) and refolded on a column with a 90 min gradient from 6 to 1 M urea. After dialysis against phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), folding of the protein was confirmed with CD spectroscopy. Selenomethionine-labelled TPC6 was produced according to the protocol of Budisa et al (1995). BET3 was expressed and purified essentially, as described previously (Turnbull et al, 2005). Detailed cloning and purification procedures are available as the supplementary information online. |
