Isopropyl β d 1 thiogalactopyranoside (iptg)

Manufactured by Helicon

IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) is a synthetic chemical compound commonly used as an inducer in bacterial expression systems. It functions by binding to and inactivating the lac repressor protein, allowing transcription of genes under the control of the lac promoter to occur.

Transformed with the expression vector Pet15b containing either SUMO-MTS-EmGFP, SUMO-MTS-SNAP-tag or SUMO-SNAP-tag E. coli cells were grown in lysogeny broth (LB) medium up to OD600∼1.0 and induced with 1 mM IPTG (Helicon, Moscow, Russia). The cells were harvested after 3 h, centrifuged at 5000 × g for 10 min, and the pellet was frozen at −80°C. The cell lysis was performed either by a microfluidizer or ultrasound (depending on the amount of cells), in the lysis buffer (300 mM NaCl 50 mM NaH2PO4 pH = 7.0). The lysate was centrifuged at 10000 × g for 1 h, and the supernatant was applied onto affinity resin Ni-NTA (QIAGEN, Düsseldorf, Germany) in a column. After washing the column with the lysis buffer, the protein was eluted with 200 mM imidazole dissolved in the lysis buffer. Imidazole was removed by dialysis against the cell buffer: 130 mM KCl, 10 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 20 mM NaHCO3 pH = 7.2. After dialysis, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm syringe filter (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) and stored at 4°C.

Transformed with the expression vector Pet15b containing either SUMO-MTS-EmGFP, SUMO-MTS-SNAP-tag or SUMO-SNAP-tag E. coli cells were grown in lysogeny broth (LB) medium up to OD600~1.0 and induced with 1mM IPTG (Helicon, Moscow, Russia). The cells were harvested after 3 h, centrifuged at 5000 g for 10 min, and the pellet was frozen at -80° C. The cell lysis was performed either by a microfluidizer or ultrasound (depending on the amount of cells), in the lysis buffer -300 mM NaCl 50 mM NaH2PO4 pH=7. The lysate was centrifuged at 10000 g for 1 h, and the supernatant was applied onto affinity resin Ni-NTA (Qiagen, Dusseldorf, Germany) in a column. After washing the column with the lysis buffer, the protein was eluted with 200 mM imidazole dissolved in the lysis buffer. Imidazole was removed by dialysis against the cell buffer: 130 mM KCl, 10 мМ NaCl, 2mM CaCl2, 20 mM NaHCO3 pH=7.2.

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.
