Purification of Prion Proteins Bow Suriyamongkol Supervisor: Dr. David Wishart Prion Group Meeting 6 October, 2006
Over-expression and Purification of a Recombinant Protein 1. Gene Isolation 2. Gene Construct Preparation 3. Over-expressing the Target Protein in Expression Host 4. Purification of the Target Protein 5. Modification and Characterization of the Target Protein
1. Gene Isolation (http://users.ugent.be/~avierstr/principles/pcr.html)
2. Gene Construct Preparation pET-15b (protein expression vector) His-tag T7 promoter T7term SHPrPc(90-231) AmpR Thrombin Syrian hamster prion gene in pET-15b vector
pET-15b E. coli BL21(DE3) protein expression host 3. Over-expressing the Target Protein in Expression Host (adapted from pET system manual 11th edition, page 49)
Native Condition Denaturing Condition Cell lysis Denaturing lysis buffer Native lysis buffer His-tag binding Ni-NTA resin Native wash buffer wash Denaturing wash buffer elute Native elution buffer Denaturing elution buffer Pure His-tagged protein 4. Purification of the Target Protein

SHPrPc(90-231) 198 (Phe Ser) Mutant (18 kDa) 1st elution (refolded) 2nd elution (unfolded) 2nd elution (unfolded) 1st elution (refolded) 13 14 15 16 17 18
5. Modification and Characterization of the Target Protein • Refolding denatured protein after purification • Thrombin cleavage • Quantify and Concentrating the purified protein sample • Button test by microdialysis
