Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinases (PI3K) are a family of kinases whose activity affects pathways needed for basic cell functions. As a result, PI3K is one of the most mutated genes in all human cancers and serves as an ideal therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Expanding on work done by other groups we improved protein yield to produce stable and pure protein using a variety of modifications including improved solubility tag, novel expression modalities, and optimized purification protocol and buffer. By these means, we achieved a 40-fold increase in yield for p110α/p85α and a 3-fold increase in p110α. We also used these protocols to produce comparable constructs of the β and δ isoforms of PI3K. Increased yield enhanced the efficiency of our downstream high throughput drug discovery efforts on the PIK3 family of kinases.
期刊介绍:
Protein Expression and Purification is an international journal providing a forum for the dissemination of new information on protein expression, extraction, purification, characterization, and/or applications using conventional biochemical and/or modern molecular biological approaches and methods, which are of broad interest to the field. The journal does not typically publish repetitive examples of protein expression and purification involving standard, well-established, methods. However, exceptions might include studies on important and/or difficult to express and/or purify proteins and/or studies that include extensive protein characterization, which provide new, previously unpublished information.
