MATERIALS AND METHODSThe human CypD expression system starting from Gly2 was constructed as described by Schlatter et al. 14 The calculated molecular weight of this CypD recombinant is 17.8 kDa. The gene was cloned into a pET-21a vector (NOVAGEN) using the NdeI and BamHI restriction sites, and a mutation of Lys133 into Ile was introduced on the CypD gene. Expression was conducted in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. Cell culturing and the induction of CypD expression were also performed as previously described. 14 Purification was performed with Hi-trap SP, RESOURCE Q, and Superdex 75 chromatography instead of with the EMD COO−, Q-sepharose, and EMD BioSEC columns used by Schlatter et al. 14 The supernatant of the cell homogenate was applied to a Hi-trap SP column equilibrated with buffer A (100 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.8, 2 mM EDTA, and 2 mM DTT). Bound CypD proteins were eluted with a gradient of0–0.5 M NaCl. The CypD fractions were desalted with dialysis against buffer A and applied onto a ResourceQ column equilibrated with buffer A. CypD did not bind to the column, and the flowthrough fraction was further purified with a Superdex75 column equilibrated with buffer B (50 mM potassium phosphate at pH 7.3, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, and 2 mM DTT). Thirteen milligrams of CypD were harvested from 5 g of E. coli cells.
