expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) Codon Plus RIL, use of strains bearing additional tRNAs for expression of genes with G-rich codons is essential for RET1 expression Trypanosoma brucei
expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) Codon Plus RIL, use of strains bearing additional tRNAs for expression of genes with G-rich codons is essential for RET1 expression Leishmania tarentolae
for recombinant expression in Escherichia coli BL21 the RET2 gene lacking 21 codons at the 5' end, which correspond to the mitochondria importation signal, is cloned into pET15+vector to generate N-terminal 6 His-RET2 fusion protein Trypanosoma brucei
TbRET2 fused with the affinity TAP tag at the C-terminus using pLew79 vector in 29-13 cell line Trypanosoma brucei

Purification (Commentary)

Purification (Comment) Organism
expression and purification of 20S editosome-associated RET2 complex from Trypanosoma brucei by affinity isolation Trypanosoma brucei
homogenous RET1 is purified from an enriched mitochondrial fraction of Leishmania tarentolae by a series of chromatographic steps: affinity chromatography (polyU Sepharose 4B), anion-exchange chromatography (Poros 20 HQ 46/100 column), gel filtration (Superose 12 and Superose 6 columns) and hydrophobic interactions chromatography (Phenyl Superose column) Leishmania tarentolae
recombinant RET1 from Leishmania tarentolae is purified by cation-exchange resin (Sepharose S Fast Flow), metal affinity chromatography (Talon metal affinity column), anion-exchange chromatography (Mono Q 5/5 column), expected yield: 0.2-0.5 mg/liter Leishmania tarentolae
recombinant RET1 from Trypanosoma brucei is purified by metal affinity chromatography (Talon metal affinity column), anion-exchange chromatography (HiTrap Q column) and loading onto a MonoS 5/5 column (final purification step), expected yield is 0.5 mg/liter of bacterial culture, it is important to maintain the concentration of KCl above 80 mM during purification, as protein tends to precipitate under low salt conditions Trypanosoma brucei
the recombinant expressed RET2 is purified by loading the protein extract onto a Talon affinity column and onto a HiTrap Sepharose S column, the expected protein yield is 1 mg of protein per liter of bacterial culture Trypanosoma brucei

Storage Stability

Storage Stability Organism
protein remains stable at -20°C in 50% glycerol up to 3 months Trypanosoma brucei
