As structural genomics and proteomics research has become popular, the importance of cell-free protein synthesis systems has been realized for high-throughput expression. Our group has established a high-throughput pipeline for protein sample preparation for structural genomics and proteomics by using cell-free protein synthesis. Among the many procedures for cell-free protein synthesis, the preparation of the cell extract is a crucial step to establish a highly efficient and reproducible workflow. In this article, we describe a detailed protocol for E. coli cell extract preparation for cell-free protein synthesis, which we have developed and routinely use. The cell extract prepared according to this protocol is used for many of our cell-free synthesis applications, including high-throughput protein expression using PCR-amplified templates and large-scale protein production for structure determinations.
