Recombinant proteins were purified as previously described [18 (link)]. His6-tagged proteins were expressed in BL21 Escherichia coli cells. After isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (Sangon) induction, the cells were pelleted, lysed in PBS buffer, and incubated with Ni2+ TA beads (Sangon) to enrich the respective proteins, followed by elution with 500 mM imidazole (Sangon) dissolved in PBS buffer and then dialysed in PBS buffer supplemented with 20% glycerol before being aliquoted and preserved at −80°C.
