4°C
Store chitin beads at 4°C


Notes


General notes:
  1. Quantitative Analysis: Crude extract from E. coli containing a plasmid expressing a maltose-binding protein-intein-chitin binding domain fusion protein is passed over a 1 ml column at 4°C. The column is washed with > 10 column volumes of 20 mM HEPES (pH 8.0) 500 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton-X100. The column is then quickly flushed with 3 column volumes of 30 mM DTT (freshly diluted in cleavage buffer [20 mM HEPES (pH 8.0), 500 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA]. The flow to the column is stopped, and the column is left at 4°C overnight. MBP is eluted using 3 column volumes of cleavage buffer without DTT.
  2. Regeneration: The packed chitin bead column must be stripped of both the fusion partner (intein-CBD) and the uncleaved fusion protein. Wash the column with 3 bed volumes of the 0.3 M Na0H stripping solution. Allow resin to soak 30 minutes, wash the resin with an additional 7 bed volumes of stripping solution. Wash with 20 bed volumes of water, followed by 5 bed volumes of column buffer.
  3. We recommend using gravity flow to run the column. The column should have a wide diameter.
  4. The column may be regenerated 5 times.
  5. Binding Capacity: 2.0 mg maltose-binding protein/ml bed volume released from the bead after cleavage of the fusion protein expressed from pMYB5.
  6. The used resin should be stored in column buffer.
  7. For long term storage add 0.02% sodium azide to the column buffer.
