Solubilization screens Paul Wright and Michael Wiener, UVa
Solubilization screen procedure Membranes are incubated with detergent at 10x CMC for 1 hr at RT Suspension is centrifuged for 1 hr at 155,000 g SDS-PAGE of pellet and s/n, visualized by immunoblot

Summary • Success rate for expression of IMP is about the same as for soluble proteins but levels are much lower • Many smaller proteins with 1-3 TMs express into inclusion bodies – good over-expression but proteins must be refolded • Initial NMR spectra suggest that aggregated proteins can be refolded • Important to test expression with tags at either end of protein • Important to screen through many detergents • Over-expression of some membrane proteins create intracellular membrane tubes • Solid state NMR of micro-crystals is promising approach
