Wash buffer: 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 1M NaCl, 20mM Imidazole.
Elution buffer: 50mM HEPES pH 7.5, 300mM NaCl, 150 mM Imidazole.
SEC-Buffers: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT.
Procedure
Column 1: Ni-affinity chromatography.
The column was equilibrated with binding buffer. The lysate was applied to the column which was subsequently washed with wash buffer 1. CSNK1G3 was eluted with elution buffer. The eluted protein was collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. DTT was added to the protein sample to a final concentration of 5mM. The N-terminal his 6 -tag was cleaved by incubating the protein overnight with TEV protease, shrimp alkaline phosphatase and lambda phosphatase.
Column 2: Size exclusion chromatography (Superdex S75, 60 x 1cm)
The fractions eluted of the Ni-affinity chromatography were concentrated to about 4 mls using Centricon concentrators (10kDa cut off). The concentrated protein was applied to a Superdex S75 column equilibrated in SEC buffer at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min. CSNK1G3 eluted at a retention time corresponding to the monomeric protein. Eluted fractions were 95% pure as judged by SDS-PAGE, and confirmed by mass spectrometry as the unphosphorylated protein.
