Jack is a postdoctoral researcher in the Taylor group. His background is in structural biophysics of viral RNA chaperone proteins. Since joining the group in Austin, he has worked on CRISPR-Cas systems, and other nucleoprotein complexes including the innate immune system DISARM, SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and ribosome assembly. His primary research interests revolve aroundContinue reading “Jack Bravo, Ph. D.”

The homologous Cas9 was fused downstream of the Maltose binding protein and a TEV protease cleave site. For bacterial expression of the recombinant proteins Cas9, corresponding plasmid was transformed into BL21-Plys (DE3)- competent cells (Stratagene). Expression of the recombinant proteins was induced by subculturing 5 ml starter culture into 1000 ml LB, adding at OD600Continue reading “SpCase9-MBP fusion protein purification”
