Cells were grown in 2L of LB medium (100microg/ml ampicillin and 50microg/ml chloramphenicol). After induction the cells were harvested and resuspended in 25ml extraction buffer (50mM Tris, pH 7.5, 300mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100 and 0.5 mg/ml lysozyme) and incubated for 30min at 4degC. Cell paste was blended in a rotarty homogenizer and inclusion bodies isolated by the addition of 75ml TE (10mM TrisHCl, pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA) and 50ml of SciI buffer (1%NP-40, 0.5% desoxycholate, 0.5% Triton X-100, 100mM NaCL, 10mM TrisHCl, pH 7.5) prior to centrifugation. |

Inclusion bodies were washed 3x with 50ml of washing buffer A and 2x with 20ml washing buffer B. Between each wash the pellet was centrifuged(27,000g, 10min). The pellet was then solubilized and incubated for 2 hours at 40degC. Renaturation was done by a rapid 60x dilution into refolding buffer. This was then incubated for 2h at 40degC before centrifugation(40000, 30min). Supernatant was then loaded onto a phenyl-Sepharose column pre-equilbrated with refolding buffer and washed with 4 volumes worth of refolding buffer, 2 volumes worth of Buffer A (50mM Tris, pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 250mM NaCl) and 2 volumes of buffer B, (50mM Tris, pH 7.5, 1mM EDTA, 50% ethylene glycol). Protein was then eluted with buffer C (50mM Tris, pH 7.5, 1mM EDTA, 70% ehtylene glycol) |
