Purification


Buffers
Binding/Lysis Buffer: 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 500 mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 20 mM Imidazole pH 7.5, 0.5 mM TCEP Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 500 mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 40 mM Imidazole pH 7.5, 0.5mM TCEP Elution Buffer: 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 500 mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 250 mM Imidazole pH 7.5, 0.5mM TCEPGel Filtration Buffer: 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 500 mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 0.5mM TCEP
Procedure
Cell Lysis
Cell pellets were resuspended in 50 mL lysis buffer. The cells were lysed by sonication for 7.5 min 5sec on/ 5 sec off. The cell debris were pelleted at 35 000 g and the supernatant used for further purification.

Column 1
Ni-NTA (1.25 ml volume in a gravity-flow column).
The clarified cell extract was incubated with 5.0 ml pre-equilibriated 50%. Ni_NTA bead suspension for 1 hour at 4°C with rotation. The suspension was centrifuged at 900g for 5 min. The supernatant was poured away and the beads were resuspended in lysis buffer and transferred onto a gravity column. The column was then washed with 30ml Binding Buffer (2 x 15ml) and 50 ml Wash Buffer (2 x15 ml). The protein was eluted with 25 ml of elution Buffer in 5 x 2.5 ml fractions.

Column 2
Superdex s200 16/60 Gel Filtration.
Elution fraction 1&2 were concentrated to 5 mL and applied directly to the size exclusion chromatography column, s200 (pre-equilibriated in GF buffer).

Enzymatic treatment and purification
The N-terminal His6- tag was cleaved by incubating overnight with TEV (20°C). Cleaved protein was purified by batch binding on 125uL pre-equilibriated 50% Ni-NTA bead solution. The column was then washed with 2x500uL Gel Filtration buffer,2x500uL Binding buffer, 2x500uLWash buffer, and finally 2x500uL of Elution buffer.
