Recombinant human ubiquitin with an N-terminal Met-Gly-Pro-Leu-Cys-Gly-Ser overhang was expressed at 37°C in BL21(DE3) cells using autoinduction medium. Following an established ubiquitin purification procedure (Ecker et al., 1987 (link)), the expression pellet was resuspended in 50 mM ammonium acetate pH 4.5 and the cells opened by sonication (Branson Digital Sonifier 450, Marshall Scientific). The lysate was centrifugated for 30 min at 40,000 × g, after which the supernatant was heat-denatured for 10 min at 70°C and re-centrifugated. Ubiquitin was finally purified by IEX using SP Sepharose Fast Flow (GE Healthcare) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) using a Superdex 75 Increase column (GE Healthcare). The protein was concentrated by Vivaspin ultrafiltration (5 kDa cutoff, Sigma-Aldrich #Z614580) to 10 mg/mL. Purified ubiquitin was fluorescently labeled with DyLight800-Maleimide (Thermo Fisher Scientific #46621) and re-purified by IEX as before, and SEC using 5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.5. The final ubiquitin sample was concentrated to 5 mg/mL, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at –80°C.

DTT-treated Cys65Ser PmoD was exchanged into reductant-free buffer prior to the addition of two molar equivalents of CuSO4. Excess copper was then removed by desalting on a PD10 column into 4 mL copper-free buffer. A 1 mL aliquot of this sample was immediately run on a Superdex 75 Increase column (GE). A second 1 mL aliquot was treated with 50 mM EDTA, pH 8 and incubated on ice for 3 hr prior to running on the Superdex 75 Increase column. The remaining sample was incubated on ice at 4 °C for 144 hr to allow the CuA site to decay and subjected to size exclusion chromatography and EDTA treatment as described for the earlier time points. The peak fractions from each column were pooled and concentrated using 10 kDa molecular weight cut-off centrifugal concentrators (Millipore). Approximately 60 μg of each sample was run on a denaturing gel in either the absence or presence of β-mercaptoethanol, and ICP-OES was used to confirm that the EDTA treatment effectively removed copper. The Cys41Ser sample was prepared as described for the Cys65Ser sample and run on a HiLoad 16/600 Superdex 75 column in the absence of reducing agents.
