Glutathione Sepharose 4FF is a pre-packed affinity chromatography medium designed for the purification of glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins. It consists of glutathione, a tripeptide, immobilized on Sepharose 4 Fast Flow. The medium provides a simple, efficient, and reversible method for the purification of GST-tagged recombinant proteins from crude cell lysates or other complex samples.

The human full-length α-synuclein and Gln79-α-synuclein proteins were recombinantly expressed following procedures described recently [57 (link)]. Purification included Ni2+-chelating chromatography on a Streamline Chelating resin (Streamline Chelating, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden). Fractions containing the expression construct were subjected to a second purification step via a glutathione sepharose resin (Glutathione Sepharose 4FF, GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The removal of glutathione was achieved by overnight dialysis against buffer containing 100 mM NaCl, 30 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.6, 0.1 mM DTT and a membrane with 6–8 kDa cutoff. Separation of the GST- and His-tag from the α-synuclein sequence by a TEV protease cleavage left an native N-terminus [53 (link)] followed by cyclization of Gln79-α-synuclein to pGlu79-α-synuclein with QC overnight at room temperature. The fractions obtained were analyzed and subjected to reversed phase chromatography (Source 15 RPC, GE Healthcare Life Sciences), followed by lyophilization and anion exchange chromatography (MonoQ 5/50GL, GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The final buffer used for the experiments was 20 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.0, containing 100 mM NaCl. The purity of the samples was assessed by SDS PAGE and mass spectrometry. Protein concentrations were determined using UV absorption at 280 nm.

The expression vector pGEX-6P-1 containing exon-1 of HTT and encoding 52 glutamine residues (HTTQ52) was kindly provided by Zoya Ignatova, University of Hamburg, and used to express recombinant HTT for aggregation assays. HTTQ52 with N-terminal GST-tag followed by a polyhistidine tag was expressed in E. coli strain BL21 after induction with 400 μM IPTG at 24 °C for 4 h. After harvesting by centrifugation, cells were disrupted by enzymatic lysis and sonification. The first purification step was carried out through Ni2+-chelating chromatography on a Streamline Chelating resin (Streamline Chelating, GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Fractions containing the expression construct were further purified in a second step via a glutathione sepharose resin (Glutathione Sepharose 4FF, GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The removal of glutathione was achieved by dialysis overnight against buffer containing 50 mM Tris/HCl, 150 mM KCl, pH 8.5. Fractions of interest were lyophilized and stored at − 20 °C until usage. The purity of the samples was assessed by SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry. Protein concentrations were determined using UV absorption at 280 nm.

For analysis by mass spectrometry in vivo, HEK 293 T cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing GST-fused TXNIP. After 24 h, the cells were harvested and lysed in buffer containing 0.5% Triton X-100, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.2) and complete protease inhibitor cocktail. After incubation for 30 min at 4 °C, the lysates were centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 20 min. The supernatants were incubated overnight at 4 °C with Glutathione Sepharose 4FF (GE Healthcare) and then centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded and the resin was washed five times with lysis buffer. Bound proteins were eluted by boiling in LDS–PAGE loading buffer. For analysis by mass spectrometry in vitro, the purified TRX(C73A)–T–TXNIP(C36S/C49S/C120S/C170S/C205S/C267S) complex was incubated with 100 mM DTT for 1 h at room temperature and then injected into a Superdex 200 10/300 GL gel filtration column installed on an AKTA purifier FPLC system to obtain T–TXNIP(C36S/C49S/C120S/C170S/C205S/C267S) and TRX(C73A). The fractions containing T–TXNIP(C36S/C49S/C120S/C170S/C205S/C267S) were dialyzed against 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 500 mM NaCl and 10% glycerol to induce the formation of disulphide bonds between TXNIP molecules through air oxidation. Dialyzed proteins were then subjected to non-reducing SDS–PAGE.

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.
