Uniformly 13C, 15N-labelled IDR1-NTD-IDR2 protein was expressed in Ecoli strain BL21 (DE3). The culture was grown in 1 L LB medium at 37 °C until OD600 reached 0.8, then transferred in 250 mL of labelled minimal medium (4x) containing 0.25 g/L 15NH4Cl (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories), 0.75 g/L [U]13C6-d-glucose (Eurisotop).

Similar to our previously published method of labeled protein production24 (link), E. coli bacteria were grown in M9 minimal media with 99% 15NH4Cl (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) as the sole nitrogen source. For this growth, cells were grown at 37 °C in four 25 ml cultures overnight at 180 rpm. The following day, 0.5 L flasks were started with 25 mls of the overnight culture, and were incubated at 37 °C and 200 rpm until an OD600 of 1.0 then the temperature was reduced to 22 °C. After letting the cells equilibrate to the new temperature for 1 h protein expression was induced by the addition of 500 µM IPTG and cells were harvested after 16 h of additional incubation. Protein expression and purification was then done the same as for the 19F labeled protein.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Arf binding domain of Hdm2 (residues 210–304) with an N-terminal polyhistidine tag was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21 (λDE3) from the pET28a expression vector (Novagen) as described previously [5 (link)]. 13C/15N-labeled Hdm2-ABD was expressed using MOPS-based minimal media [8 (link)] containing [13C] D-glucose and 15NH4Cl (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). Cultured cells were harvested by centrifugation and lysed in 25 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 500 mM NaCl, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol (BME), and protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma) by sonication. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation and Urea was added to the clarified extract to a concentration of 3 M. His-tagged Hdm2-ABD was purified by Ni2+-NTA affinity chromatography and eluted with buffer containing 6 M urea and 0.5 M Imidazole. Fractions containing Hdm2-ABD were dialyzed against 25 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM BME and treated with thrombin to cleave the His tag. Cleaved Hdm2-ABD was buffer exchanged by dialysis into 25 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.0), 50 mM NaCl and further purified using anion-exchange chromatography (Q Sepharose; Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Inc.) using a linear gradient of 0.05′1 M NaCl over 0.1 L.

Isotopic Labeling of SARS-CoV E Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression and purification methods for the truncated SARS-CoV E construct corresponding to residues 8–65 (ETR) have been described previously [19 (link)]. This construct does not have cysteines, as these are not required for oligomerization [18 (link),19 (link),28 (link),38 (link)]. In the present work, M9 media was supplemented with an appropriate combination of 15NH4Cl, 13C-glucose, 2H-glucose, and 2H2O (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) to produce15N-, 13C-, 15N/13C- and 15N/2H-labeled ETR samples. For preparation of fully deuterated 15N/2H-labeled samples, freshly transformed E. coli cells were doubly-selected in LB agar plates and media prepared with 30% and 60% 2H2O, successively, and later grown in M9 media prepared with 99.9% 2H2O [39 (link),40 (link)].

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.
