[Abstract] In plant cells, galactolipids are predominant, representing up to 50% of the lipid content in photosynthetic tissues. Galactolipid synthesis is initiated by MGDG synthases (MGDs), which use UDP-galactose as a donor sugar and diacylglycerol (DAG) as acceptor, to form monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG). This protocol is used to produce a recombinant form of Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana) monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase 1 (MGD1) protein, in Escherichia coli (E. coli), using a two-step chromatographic purification procedure. The protein is easily ...
[摘要] 在植物细胞中，半乳糖脂是主要的，代表高达光合组织脂质含量的50％。通过使用UDP-半乳糖作为供体糖和二酰基甘油（DAG）作为受体的MGDG合成酶（MGD）启动半乳糖脂合成以形成单糖基二酰基甘油（MGDG）。该方案用于在大肠杆菌中产生拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana）（拟南芥）单糖半乳糖二酰基甘油合酶1（MGD1）蛋白的重组形式（大肠杆菌），使用两步色谱纯化方法。蛋白质容易表达和纯化至数量，适用于生物化学和结构研究。还描述了MGD1的结晶。
背景 以前在e中表达植物MGD的尝试。大肠杆菌显示约99％的重组蛋白质积累在包涵体中（Miège等，1999）。开发了使用洗涤剂或体外包涵体折叠方案的细菌膜的溶解，并产生足够的纯和活性级分，足以监测酶的活性，但不进行其结构研究（Nishiyama et ...

[Abstract] The protocol describes the production and crystallization of the soluble form of the nuclear egress complex (NEC) from Herpes simplex virus 1 and Pseudorabies virus. The NEC is a heterodimer that consists of conserved proteins UL31 and UL34. NEC oligomerization deforms the inner nuclear membrane around the capsid in infected cells, thereby mediating capsid budding into the perinuclear space during nuclear egress. We have successfully developed a protocol for large-scale preparation of highly pure NEC from two different viruses in a prokaryotic expression system, which enabled us to ...
[摘要] 该协议描述了来自单纯疱疹病毒1和伪狂犬病病毒的核出口复合物（NEC）的可溶形式的产生和结晶。 NEC是由保守蛋白UL31和UL34组成的异源二聚体。 NEC低聚使受感染细胞中的衣壳周围的内核膜变形，从而在核出口期间介导衣壳发芽进入核周空间。 我们已经成功地开发了一个协议，从大规模制备高纯度NEC从两种不同的病毒在原核表达系统，这使我们能够结晶这些病毒蛋白复合物和确定其结构。 该程序可适于纯化和结晶其它可溶性蛋白质复合物。
