| The cell pellet was resuspended in lysis buffer (~5ml per L bacterial culture) containing 10mM TrisHCl, 150mM NaCl, 25%(w/v) sucrose, 1mM EDTA, 10mM DTT, pH 8.0. Cells were lysed by 3 passes through a french pressure cell at 1000psi. Inclusion bodies were collected by centrifugation (15min x 10000g, 4degC) and then washed three times with wash buffer and one final time with wash buffer excluding Triton X-100. The inclusion bodies were then dissolved in solubilization buffer and centrifuged at 15000g. The supernatent was then filtered through 0.45microns and the protein concentration was determined by absorption at 280nm (extinction coefficient = 16500 /M/cm). 16mg of solubilized inclusion bodies were then diluted into 16ml of buffer containing solubilization buffer without DTT and then rapildy diluted over a few seconds into 1L of refolding buffer at 4degC with figorous stirring. Five more aliquots of protein (16mg each) were then added to the refolding mixture every 6-8h.
The refolded protein was then passed down a Superdex G75 column in 10mM TrisHCl, 50mM NaCl pH 8.0. The protein was then buffer exchanged to 10mM TrisHCl, 20mM NaCl pH 8.5 using a 350ml Amicon concentration cell with a 3K MW cutoff membrane. The protein was then centrifuged (15000g) and filtered and then loaded onto a 1ml MonoQ column preequilibrated with 10mM Tris pH 8.0. The protein was eluted with a 0-500mM NaCl linear gradient spanning 20 column volumes. The protein was concentrated and the buffer was exchanged to 10mM TrisHCl. 20mM NaCl pH 8.0. |
