The protein expression plasmids with the target cloned in pET30a(+), pMAL-c5X-His, and pGEX-4T3 were transformed into BL21/DE3 pLysS E.coli bacteria (#L1195, Promega, Madison, WI). The recombinant His-, MBP-, Strep-, and GST-tagged proteins were purified as previously described [23 (link),49 (link),87 (link),88 (link)] or purified with Bio-Rad NGC Chromatography System (Bio-Rad Laboratories) using Bio-Scale Mini Nuvia IMAC Cartridges (#7800811, Bio-Rad, CA). The His-tagged NS1-70 was further purified by running through a HiLoad Superdex 200 pg column (#28989335, Cytiva) with Bio-Rad NGC Chromatography System at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min as previously described [49 (link)].
