Inclusion bodies were washed x2 in washing buffer, and solubilized. The solubilized proteins were loaded onto a Ni2+-NTA-agarose column. After washing with solubilization buffer, a linear imidazol gradient (0-200mM) in solubilization buffer was used to elute protein. The eluted fractions were then analysed by SDS page, and dialyzed against refolding buffer. Ketoisomerase fusion partner was removed via acid or cleavage with factor XA. To do this fusion protein was dialyzed in 50 mM TrisCl, 50mM NaCL, 1 mM CaCl2, 5mM lauryldimethylamino oxide, pH 6.5 and digested for 3hr at 20degC. Reaction stopped by addition of PMSF to a final concentration of 1 mM and reaction was dialysed against solubilisation buffer.
Urea denatured 5HT4 was loaded on a Ni-NTA matrix and washed with buffer(12.5 sodium borate, 10mM KCL, 2mM MgCl2, 6 M urea, 1.25% (w/v) sarcosyl, pH 8.0). Refolding was achieved by applying linear gradient from buffer above buffer to: (12.5 sodium borate, 25mM NaCl, 2mM MgCl2, containing 1% DMPC, 1% CHAPS, 0.02 cholesteryl hemisuccinate) Dissociation from matrix occurred via washing with refolding buffer containing imidazole. Dissociated proteins were then dialyzed against 12.mM sodium borate, 25 mM KCL, pH 7.8 containing 1% DMPC, 1 % CHAPS and 0.2% cholesteryl hemisuccinate. |
