Cell growth for the large-scale production of WT MelBSt was carried out using the pK95 ΔAH/MelBSt/CHis10 from E. coli DW2 cells (melA+melB, lacZY) as described (10 (link), 39 (link)). Briefly, MelBSt purification from membranes by cobalt-affinity chromatography (Talon Superflow Metal Affinity Resin, Takara) after extraction by 1.5% UDM or 2% DDM. MelBSt protein was eluted with 250 mM imidazole in a buffer containing 50 mM NaPi, pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 0.035% UDM or 0.01% DDM, and 10% glycerol, and dialyzed to change the buffer conditions accordingly.
