  • Thaw 96 bacterial pellets room temperature (see Protocol 1).
  • Resuspend in 100 µl Lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.3 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA or 0.1 mM EDTA, if NiNTA purification follows)
  • Add 25 µl of
  1x: vol. per one MP well 220x
Lysozyme 10 mg/ml 5 µl 1100 µl
1% Brij58 (Sigma) 12.5 µl 2750 µl
Lysis Buffer 7.5 µl 1650 µl
  • Vortex briefly, incubate on ice 30 min.
  • Remove an 15 µl aliquot for SDS-PAGE analyis (whole cellular extract).
  • Add 25 µl of
  1x: vol. per one MP well 220x
1 M MgCl2 0.3 µl 66 µl
Benzonase gradeII 25 U/µl (Merck) 0.1 µl 22 µl
50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 24.6 µl 5412 µl
  • Vortex briefly, incubate at room temperature 30 min
  • Centrifuge lysates 30 min 6200 rpm 4°C
  • transfer 145 µl supernatant to a small-pore filter plate (Durapore MADV N 65, Millipore) to remove any remaining particles .
  • Filter supernatants on a vacuum manifold into a fresh filter plate (soluble protein extract).

SDS-PAGE analysis of soluble and whole cellular extracts

  • Add 15 µl of
  1x: vol. per one MP well 110x
4x SDS loading buffer 7.5 µl 825 µl
1 M DTT 2.22 µl 244.2 µl
H2O 5.25 µl 577.5 µl

into a 96-well PCR plate

  • Add 15 µl extract to the plate, mix by pipetting
  • Incubate 5 min 50°C, 2 min 100°C
  • Analyse 7 µl by 15% SDS-PAGE
