pET15b-Tau recombinant T7lac expression plasmid was transformed into competent E. coli BL21 (DE3) bacterial cells. A small-scale culture was grown in LB medium at 37°C and was added at 1:10 v/v to 1 L of a modified M9 medium containing MEM vitamin mix 1X (Sigma-Aldrich), 4 g of glucose, 1 g of 15N-NH4Cl (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.5 g of 15N-enriched Isogro (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1 mM CaCl2, and 2 mM MgSO4. Recombinant 15N Tau production was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG when the culture reached an optical density at 600 nm of 0.8. Proteins were first purified by heating the bacterial extract, obtained in 50 mM NaPi, pH 6.5, 2.5 mM EDTA, and supplemented with complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich), 15 min at 75°C. The resulting supernatant was next passed on a cation exchange chromatography column (Hitrap SP sepharose FF, 5 mL, Cytiva) with 50 mM NaPi, pH 6.5, and eluted with a NaCl gradient. Tau proteins were buffer-exchanged against 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Hiload 16/60 desalting column, Cytiva) for lyophilization. The same protocol69 was used to produce and purify Tau 2N3R isoform, Tau[244–368] (designated MTBD, also called K18 fragment), chimeric Tau[244–368] with two PHF6 or PHF6∗ peptide sequences instead of PHF6∗ and PHF6 sequences (Figure S10A) and Tau [208–324].

Recombinant Production of Isotope-Labeled SH3c Domain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 15N-labeled SH3c domain of hCIN85 was recombinantly produced in Toronto minimal medium with 15N-NH4Cl (Sigma Aldrich) as nitrogen source according to a published protocol42 (link). Briefly, a fragment of CIN85 comprising amino acids 263-333 was expressed in the bacterial strain BL21(DE3)Star (Invitrogen) as fusion protein with N-terminal His7-tag. After purification on a Ni-NTA ProtinoTM metal affinity column (Macherey-Nagel, Germany) the His7-tag was cleaved off with TEV-protease and removed by a second Ni-NTA ProtinoTM column purification step. The SH3c (this construct is referred to as SH3c in the main manuscript) domain was eluted in the flow-through and further purified by gel-filtration on a Superdex 75/16-60 column (GE Healthcare). The sample was dialyzed against NMR buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.5, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM TCEP, 0.05% (w/v) NaN3) and the final concentration was adjusted to 2 mM.

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.
