INMAP was cloned into the pET30a (+) vector (Invitrogen, USA). The resulting construct was transformed into the bacterial strain BL21 (TransGen Biotech, China) for expression. His-tagged protein was purified on Ni2+ beads (GE, USA) from BL21 lysates. For His Pulldown assays, Ni2+ beads with INMAP were incubated with HeLa cell extract for 2 h, isolated by centrifugation, washed, and eluted by boiling in Laemmli sample buffer.
Ni2 beads
Ni2+-beads are a laboratory product used for protein purification. They consist of nickel-charged agarose beads that can selectively bind to proteins containing a histidine tag, allowing for the isolation and purification of these tagged proteins from complex mixtures. The core function of Ni2+-beads is to facilitate the affinity-based separation and concentration of target proteins.

Affinity Purification of Protein Complexes
FLAG-tagged Mck1 was purified from BY4741 yeast strain. The pRS313-pADH1-MCK1-5FLAG plasmid was transformed into an mck1Δ strain. 200 OD600 units of logarithmic cells were lysed by glass bead beating (Mini-Beadbeater-16, Biospec) in the lysis buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 1% [v/v] NP-40, 10% [v/v] glycerin, 2 mM PMSF, 10 mM NaF, 20 mM β-glycerophosphate, 100 μM Na3VO4). Mck1 was purified by anti-FLAG M2 beads (Sigma) and eluted by 1 mg/ml FLAG peptide.
BL21-codon-plus (DE3)-RIL E. coli strain (Stratagene) was transformed with pET vectors expressing His × 6-FLAG-Mms22N or His × 6-Eco1. The expression was induced at OD600 = 0.6 with 0.02 mM IPTG at 25°C for 3 h. The protein was purified using Ni2+-beads (GE Healthcare) and eluted with 500 mM imidazole.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
