SpCase9-MBP fusion protein purification
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”
