Cells were grown in LB broth with 50microg/ml ampicillin and 30microg/ml chloramphenicol at 37degC. Expression was induced with 1mM IPTG when A600 reached 0.6. After 3h, cells were harvested by centrifugation (4000g, 10min). |

Cell pellets were washed with cold TBS (20mM TrisHCl, 0.15M NaCl pH 7.4) and suspended in lysis buffer (50mM TrisHCl, 1mM EDTA, 100mM NaCl, 0.1mM PMSF pH 8.0). Cell lysis was started by the addition of 300microg/ml lysozyme and 0.1% deoxycholic acid and incubation was continued at 37degC until the lysate became viscous. The lysate was then further incubated at 37degC for 20min after the addition of 10microg/ml DNase 1. Inclusion bodies were isolated by centrifugation (25000g, 20min) and the pellets were then resuspended in wash buffer. The suspension was held at room temperature for 10min, then the inclusion bodies were recovered by centrifugation.
Inclusion bodies were solubilized with 10ml solubilization buffer 1 and then diluted with 20ml of 9M urea. After centrifugation (20min, 25000g), the supernatant was applied to a His-Bind resin column. Following washing, the protein was eluted with 400mM imidazole, 200mM NaCl, 6M urea and 10mM TrisHCl pH 7.9. The protein was then solubilized with solubilization buffer 2 at 100mg/ml and incubated at 56degC for 2h. The protein was centrifuged (20min, 25000g) and the supernatant was refolded by being slowly added dropwise into 200 volumes of refolding buffer and stirred overnight at 4degC. The pH was adjusted to pH 8.0 with HCl, then the protein was centrifuged again (20min, 25000g) and the supernatant containing the refolded protein retained. |
