I am trying to purify His-tagged recombinant proteins expressed in cytosol from HEK293F cells from 200 ml culture. What could be the best method to lyse these cells to purify the proteins under native conditions?
Asrar Alam try such one: 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 1% Triton X-100, 10 mM Na4P2O7 supplemented with 10 μg/ml Aprotinin, 1 mM PMSF, 2 mM Na3VO4, 10 mM NaF.
whay you did not add an n-terminal signal peptide to your protein sequence to secrete it into the medium? In this way you can direclty recover it by IMAC with higher purity since the amount of extracellular protien is certanilly low.
Thank you Manuele Martinelli . Indeed it will be much easy to purify the protein from the supernatant. Unfortunately, my constructs do not have the leader sequence for secretion. Perhaps, they can be used for other purposes also like pulling out interacting partners.
