pET28a/Cas9-Cys was a gift from Hyongbum Kim (Ramakrishna et al., 2014 (link)). BL21(DE3) cells (New England Biolabs, C2527) were transformed with the plasmid pET28a/Cas9-Cys (Addgene, Cambridge, USA, plasmid #53261) using standard protocols. Cas9 protein expression was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) (Fisher, 10715114) and bacterial cells were incubated overnight at 20°C. Bacterial pellets were resuspended in 20 mL of lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 5 mM imidazole pH 8.0), sonicated and loaded on a HisTrap HP 5 mL column (GE, 17-5248-01). Cas9 protein was collected in elution buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 250 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1 mM TCEP, 250 mM imidazole pH 8.0). Fractions containing Cas9 protein were pooled and loaded into a HiPrep 26/10 Desalting Column (GE, 28-4026-52) to equilibrate in Cas9 buffer (20 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1 mM TCEP). Purified Cas9 protein was further concentrated using Vivaspin columns (Vivaspin20, VS2021) as per the user-guide instructions.

BL21(DE3) cells (New England Biolabs, C2527) were transformed with the plasmid pET28a/Cas9-Cys (Addgene, Cambridge, USA, plasmid #53261) using standard protocols. Cas9 protein expression was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) (Fisher, 10715114) and the cells were incubated overnight at 20°C. 24 hr later, bacterial pellets were resuspended in 20 ml of lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 5 mM imidazole pH 8.0), sonicated and loaded on a HisTrap HP 5 ml column (GE, 17-5248-01). The Cas9 protein was collected in elution buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 250 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1 mM TCEP, 250 mM imidazole pH 8.0).

The purified Cas9 protein was further concentrated using Vivaspin columns (Vivaspin20, 30 000 MWCO PES, Sartorius stedim, VS2021) as per the users-guide instructions.

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.
