Ni nta agarose

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States, Japan, China

Ni-NTA agarose is an affinity chromatography resin used for the purification of recombinant proteins with a histidine-tag. It consists of nickel-charged nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) immobilized on cross-linked agarose beads. The histidine-tag binds to the Ni-NTA, allowing the target protein to be separated from other cellular components during the purification process.

The coding sequences of relA and relQ were amplified from the genomic DNA of S. suis SC-19 using primers relAF/relAR and relQF/relQR (see Supplementary Table S7), respectively. The primers were designed according to the sequences of genes SSU05_2094 and SSU05_1060 of S. suis 05ZYH33 (GenBank accession no. CP000407), and cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a (Novagen, Shanghai, China), respectively. The resultant plasmids pET28a-relA and pET28a-relQ were confirmed by DNA sequencing and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression of His-tagged recombinant proteins, respectively. The bacteria were induced by 1 mM isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at 37 °C for 3 h. Purification of the recombinant proteins was achieved using Ni-NTA agarose (Bio-Rad, Shanghai, China) under native condition according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Electrophoresis was carried out with 12% SDS-PAGE.

A strain of Eco containing plasmid with subunits of the RNAP core (LK18531 ) was grown to the exponential phase (OD600 ~ 0.5). Expression of RNAP was induced with 500 μM IPTG for 4 h at room temperature.

Cell debris was removed by centrifugation and supernatant was mixed with 1 ml Ni-NTA Agarose (Qiagen) and incubated for 90 min at 4 °C with gentle shaking. Ni-NTA Agarose with bound RNAP was loaded on a Poly-Prep® Chromatography Column (BIO-RAD), washed with P buffer and, subsequently, washed with P buffer with 30 mM imidazole. The proteins were eluted with P buffer containing 400 mM imidazole and fractions containing RNAP were pooled and dialyzed against storage buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 50% glycerol, 3 mM β-mercaptoethanol).

The filtrate was subjected to nickel-chelate affinity chromatography (Ni-NTA agarose, Bio-Rad, USA) by following the manufacturer's instructions. Elution of the target protein was performed by competition with increasing concentrations of imidazole. Products from the course of purification were collected and measured by SDS-PAGE, and the protein concentration was determined using the Pierce BSA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce Biotechnology, USA). The purified target protein was dialyzed in 50 mM NaH2PO4 buffer (pH 8.0).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fifty milliliters of overnight culture grown at 37 o C was used to inoculate 500 ml of LB broth. The cells were grown until the OD600 reached 0.5 and then induced with Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at a final concentration of 1 mM. Following induction, the cells were grown for another 5 h and harvested by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. Protein was purified using Ni-NTA Agarose (Qiagen, Mississauga, ON) according to manufacturer's instruction. Briefly, one ml of Ni-NTA Agarose resin was added to 10 ml of cleared cell lysate and incubated for 1 h at 4 C. After incubation, the lysate was loaded onto a 25 ml econocolumn (Bio-Rad) and washed with binding buffer (100 mM NaH2PO4, 10 mM Tris, 8 M urea) equilibrated to pH 8.0, pH 6.3, and pH 5.9. Finally, recombinant CK-2 (rCK-2) was eluted at pH 4.5 and was stored at 4 o C. The elution fractions were separated on a 17% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Following SDS-PAGE, the proteins were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane blocked with 5% skim milk in TBS-T buffer (0.14 M NaCl, 2.7 mM KCL, 25 mM Tris, 0.5% Tween 20, pH 8) for 1 h. The membrane was washed with TBS-T for 5 min and probed with 1:5000 dilution of mouse anti-
express antiserum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) to identify the specific Xpress epitope tag on the recombinant protein.

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.
