Growth
Medium:TB
Antibiotics:
Procedure:NAT1 was expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) codon plus RIL in Terrific Broth (TB) in the presence of 50 μg/ml of kanamycin. Cell were grown at 37oC to an OD600 of 1.5 and induced by isopropyl-1-thio-D-galactopyranoside (IPTG), final concentration 1 mM, and incubated overnight at 15oC.
Purification
Procedure
The crude extract was cleared by centrifugation. The lysate was loaded onto 10 ml Chelating Sepharose column (Amersham Biosciences), charged with Ni2+. The column was washed with 10 CV of 20 mM Tris HCl buffer, pH 8.0, containing 0.5 M NaCl , 25 mM imidazole, 5% glycerol, and the protein was eluted with elution buffer (20 mM Tris HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5 M NaCl, 250 mM imidazole, 5% glycerol). Eluted protein was treated with bromoacetanilide. The protein was loaded on Superdex200 column (26x60) (Amersham Biosciences), equilibrated with 20 mM Tris HCl buffer, pH 8.0, and 0.15 M NaCl, at flow rate 4 ml/min. Thrombin (Sigma) was added to combined fractions containing NAT1 and incubated overnight at 4oC. The protein was further purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on Source 30Q column (10x10) (Amersham Biosciences), equilibrated with buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, and eluted with linear gradient of NaCl up to 500 mM concentration (20CV). Purification yield was 1.6 mg of the protein per 1L of culture.
Extraction
Procedure
Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 7,000 rpm. The cell pellets were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80˚C. For the purification the cell paste was thawed and resuspended in lysis buffer (20 mM Tris HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM imidazol, 2 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 5% glycerol, 0.1% CHAPS) with protease inhibitor (0.1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride, PMSF). The cells were lysed by passing through Microfluidizer (Microfluidics Corp.) at 20,000 psi.
Concentration:4.4 mg/ml
Ligand
MassSpec:The expected mass for NAT1 is 34431.82 Da, measured mass is 34432.1363 Da.
Crystallization:Purified NAT1 was crystallized using the hanging drop vapor diffusion method at 20 °C by mixing 1µl of the protein solution with 1 µl of the reservoir solution containing 30% PEG4000, 0.2 M NaoAc, 0.1 M Tris HCl, pH 8.5.
