MATERIALS AND METHODSTBP Expression and Purification. Plasmid pKA9 carrying the S. cerevisiae SPT 15 gene in a pET expression vector was a gift of K. Arndt andF. Winston (Arndt et al., 1992). A modification of their purification scheme was developed and is presented below. BL21 (DE3) cells containing the plasmids pLysS and pKA9 are grown at 37 C in LB broth containing 25 pg/mL ampicillin and 30 pg/mL chloramphenicol. At a density of ß= 0.4, the broth is transferred to 30 C, TBP production is initiated by the addition of IPTG to 1 mM concentration and growth is continued at 30 C for 2 h. The cells are harvested and the cell pellets are stored at-70 C.All subsequent steps in the protocol are conducted at 4 C. Aliquots of the frozen cells are thawed on ice and resuspended (3 mL/g of cells) in 25 mM Hepes-KOH, 20% glycerol, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, pH 7.9 (buffer A) with 100 mM KC1 containing aprotinin (1 pg/mL), chloromethyl ketone (20 pg/mL), leupeptin (1 wg/mL), trypsin inhibitor (100 pg/mL), and 100 mM PMSF (1 mM) protease inhibitors that are added to the buffer just prior to resuspension of the cells. The cells are lysed in a Biospec Bead-Beater using acid-washed dry glass beads (< 106 pm, Sigma) with an outer jacket filled with salt-saturated ice—water with four 30 s bursts, 3 min apart. The suspension is centrifuged in a Sorvall SS-34rotor at 18 000 rpm for 20 min. Chromosomal DNA is precipitated from the supernatant by slowly stirring in a protamine sulfate solution (6 mg/mL) to a final concentration of 0.3 mg/mL. The precipitate is removed by centrifugation as described above. A 2.2 x 25 cm column packed with 50 mL of Pharmacia S-Sepharose Fast Flow resin is equilibrated in buffer A with 100 mM KC1. Following sample loading, the column is washed with the equilibration buffer at 4 mL/min until A280 returns to baseline. The TBP is eluted with an 80 mL gradient of buffer A from 100 to 235 mM KC1 followed by a 240 mL gradient of 235—370 mM KC1; TBP elutes between 235 and 300 mM KC1. Column fractions are analyzed by SDS—PAGE; the TBP-containing fractions are pooled, concentrated to~ 1.5 mL using an Amicon Centricon 3 concentrator, and dialyzed overnight against buffer A with 100 mM KC1.
