Ni nta sepharose column

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in United States, Sweden

The Ni-NTA Sepharose column is a chromatography resin designed for the purification of His-tagged proteins. It consists of nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) coupled to Sepharose beads, which allows for the specific and reversible binding of His-tagged proteins. The column can be used in a variety of protein purification workflows.

After centrifuging the cultures at 4 °C with 9000 rpm for 20 min, the supernatant was loaded onto a Ni-NTA sepharose column (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, UK) and performed purification process with AKTA150 automatic purification system. Imidazole of gradient concentration (25–500 mM) in 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.6, 500 mM NaCl) was used for the elution of target protein. The molecular weight and purity of the purified CsnB were assayed by SDS-PAGE on a 12% (w/v) resolving gel was utilized to measure the concentration of CsnB using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as standard. The optimal temperature of CsnB was determined at different temperatures (0–80 °C). To measure the thermo-stability of CsnB, the purified CsnB was firstly incubated at various temperatures (0–100 °C) for 30 min and 60 min, respectively. Then, the enzymatic activity was determined at its optimal condition. To determine its optimal pH, the enzyme was fixed with different buffer as follows: HAC-NaAC, pH 3.71–5.76; phosphate buffer, pH 5.89–7.29; Tris-HCl buffer, pH 6.45–7.78; and glycine-NaOH buffer, pH 6.15–8.67. Moreover, the pH-stability of CsnB was determined at its optimal condition after the enzymes incubated at different buffers [HAC-NaAC (pH 3.58–5.58); phosphate buffer (pH 6.97-8.10); Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.37–8.60); glycine-NaOH buffer (pH 8.78–9.90)] at 4 °C for 24 h.

The vNAR genes from the chosen clones were inserted into the pcoldII plasmid and chemically transformed into Shuffle T7 competent E. coli (NEB) using CaCl2. The strains containing recombinant vNARs were grown for protein expression in 2 YT with 100 mM of ampicillin until the OD600 reached nearly 0.8. Protein production was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG by shaking for 20 hat 16 °C. The collected bacteria were sonicated via ultrasound and proteins were initially purified on the Ni-NTA Sepharose column (GE Healthcare) followed by SEC. For proton influx and patch clamp functional assays, the gene was inserted into the pcold-sumo vector to avoid the effect of His-tag. The sumo tag with 6×His was cleaved by sumo enzyme and tag-cleaved vNARs were purified on a second Ni-NTA Sepharose column. The eluate from Ni-column was run on SEC using Superdex 75 column for further purification. The eluted fractions were evaluated by SDS-PAGE for purity and concentrated using concentrators with a molecular mass cut-off of 3 kDa. The concentration was quantified using a Pierce TM BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.).

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.
