E.coli cells were grown in baffled shake flasks in M9LB medium (per litre: 10g bactotryptone, 5g yeast extract, 5g NaCl, 1g NH4Cl, 3g KH2PO4, 6g Na2HPO4, 4g glucose, 0.25g MgSO4.7H2O) at 37degC. When OD600 was 1.0, cells were induced with 0.4mg/ml IPTG and incubated for a further 4h. |

Following centrifugation, cells were lysed with Triton X-100 (0.4% in 10mM TrisHCl pH 8.2, 15mM MgCl2). The insoluble fraction was centrifuged and washed twice in 3-4M Urea. The pellet was resupended in solubilization buffer and incubated for 2.5h at 37degC. To remove DTE, the buffer of the supernatant was changed by ultradiafiltration under nitrogen with washing buffer using an Amicon YM10 membrane and an Amicon stirring chamber(Millipore). A 10-fold dilution of DTE was sufficiant to allow for the formation of mixed disulfides. Then an equal volume of 300mM oxidized glutathion in 8M urea was added and the mixture incubated for 3h. Finally, the buffer was changed again by ultradiafiltration with washing buffer. The optimum dilution of GSSG was 30-fold.
The protocol for refolding was optimized based on the dilution method. The best conditions were as follows; Refolding buffer: 50mM TrisHCl pH 8.6, 50mM CaCl2, 3mM reduced glutathion, 0.3mM GSSG. The final trypsinogen concentration was 10 micrograms per ml, the final urea concentration owas 0.4M. Incubation took place at 5degC for 3 hours under nitrogen atmosphere.
IN order to increase the trypsinogen concentration in the refolding reaction, a continuous dilution reactor based on cross flow ultradiafiltration was used (see published report for details). Diafiltration was performed over an Amicon Miniplate Bioconcentrator with a YM10 membrane (Millipore) |
