162 pCold-MBP-(Tev)-GST-(3C)-Tat-NLS-iFLP-6H

plasmid digestion

Expression

1/9/19

Transform Nico21(DE3)pLysN, grow on LB/KC at 37 oC O/N, Wash coloines with LB/KC medium and make glycerol stock.

Grow cells in 15 ml 2XYT, induce with 1 mM IPTG or 0.1% L-arabinose when OD600 reaches ~0.8.

For 162, cool culture on ice for 10 min, Add 1 mM IPTG and induce for 2 hours or overnight, keep culture cool using blue ice pad.

Induce either at -18 oC (blue ice pad) for 162, or room temperature for 164, 169, 170, for 2 hours or overnight

Spin down cells, wash with ddH2O, Add lysis buffer and store at -80 oC freezer o/n

Lyse cells by freeze-thaw 3 time. Add 2 ul DNase.

Spin, transfer supernatant to another clean tube (as soluble fraction).

To pellet, add buffer with 0.1% SDS, 4 M Urea, 50% Buffer A.

Add 25 ul Ni beads

Binding by rotary for 30 min

Spin and remove supernatant, wash 3~5 times buffer A

Add 25 ul Buffer B. Spin, collect 25 ul euluate.

Add 8 ul 4X SDS-PAGE Loading buffer, Boil 10 min.

Run 4~20% SDS-PAGE

pI/Mw: 8.69 / 123.9

Conclusion: Tat-Flp in pCold, induction for 2 hours, is the best for expression. But still not soluble.
