This chapter presents in detail the process used in high throughput bacterial production of recombinant human proteins for crystal structure determination. The core principles are: (1) Generating at least 10 truncated constructs from each target gene. (2) Ligation-independent cloning (LIC) into a bacterial expression vector. All proteins are expressed with an N-terminal, TEV protease cleavable fusion peptide. (3) Small-scale test expression to identify constructs producing soluble protein. (4) Liter-scale production in shaker flasks. (5) Purification by Ni-affinity chromatography and gel filtration. (6) Protein characterization and preparation for crystallography. The chapter also briefly presents alternative p... More
