Quality control of overexpressed membrane proteins.

Abstract:

:Overexpression of membrane proteins in Escherichia coli frequently leads to the formation of aggregates or inclusion bodies, which is undesirable for most studies. Ideally, one would like to optimize the expression conditions by monitoring simultaneously and rapidly both the amounts of properly folded and aggregated membrane protein, a requirement not met by any of the currently available methods. Here, we describe a simple gel-based approach with green fluorescent protein as folding indicator to detect well folded and aggregated proteins simultaneously. The method allows for rapid screening and, importantly, pinpointing the most likely bottlenecks in protein production.

  • Cryoprotectant-free cryopreservation of mammalian cells by superflash freezing.

    abstract::Cryopreservation is widely used to maintain backups of cells as it enables the semipermanent storage of cells. During the freezing process, ice crystals that are generated inside and outside the cells can lethally damage the cells. All conventional cryopreservation methods use at least one cryoprotective agent (CPA) t...
