摘要: Abstract We report the expression and purification of α-synuclein, a protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease, from isotopically ( 13 C, 15 N) labeled bacterial growth media, as required for solid-state NMR structural studies. Expression Escherichia coli (BL21(DE3)) was performed with protocol optimized time efficiency yield. Chemical lysis, crude by ammonium sulfate precipitation, two chromatography steps (hydrophobic interaction size exclusion) yield 30–35 mg/L medium. Purity is confirmed gel electrophoresis mass spectrometry. Furthermore, we demonstrate reproducible fibril control environmental incubation conditions. Highly resolved multidimensional spectra indicate microscopic order throughout majority AS structure. The number signals intensities well-resolved residue types (Thr, Ser, Ala, Gly, Val, Ile) are consistent single conformation, which reproducibly prepared seeding consecutive preparations. Variations rates polymorphisms exhibited minimized careful
