To purify NAP1 or GST-NAP1, synthesize or clone human NAP1 cDNA in a pGEX-4T1 vector with an N-terminal GST tag followed by a TEV cleavage site (RRID:Addgene_208870).
For expression of GST-TEV-NAP1 in E. coli, transform the pGEX-4T1 vector encoding GST-TEV-NAP1 into E. coli Rosetta pLySS cells. Grow the cells in 2xTY medium at 37 °C until an OD600 of 0.4 and then continue at 18 °C .
Once the cells reached an OD600 of 0.8, induce protein expression with 50 micromolar (µM) IPTG for 16:00:00 at 18 °C .
16h
Collect the cells by centrifugation and resuspend it in lysis buffer.

Clear the lysates by centrifugation at 18000 rpm, 4°C, 00:45:00 in a SORVAL RC6+ centrifuge with an F21S-8x50Y rotor (Thermo Scientific).
45m
Collect and incubate the supernatant with pre-equilibrated Glutathione Sepharose 4B beads (GE Healthcare) for 02:00:00 at 4 °C with gentle shaking to bind GST-TEV-NAP1.
2h
Centrifuge the samples to pellet the beads and remove the unbound lysate.
Wash the beads twice with wash buffer, once with high salt wash buffer, and two more times with wash buffer.

Incubate beads Overnight at 4 °C with TEV protease (for unlabeled NAP1) or 4 mL of 50 millimolar (mM) reduced glutathione dissolved in wash buffer (for GST-NAP1).
2h
After the proteins were released from the beads, filter the GST-NAP1 protein through a 0.45 µm syringe filter, concentrated using a 30 kDa cut-off Amicon filter (Merck Millipore), or 10 kDa cut-off in case of unlabeled NAP1, and loaded onto a pre-equilibrated Superose 6 Increase 10/300 GL column (Cytiva).
Elute proteins with SEC buffer.

Analyze fractions by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining.
Pool fractions containing purified NAP1 or GST-NAP1 protein.
After concentrating the purified protein, aliquot the protein and snap-freeze in liquid nitrogen. Store proteins at -80 °C .
