The human NDP52 cDNA into a pGST2 vector with an N-terminal GST tag followed by a TEV cleavage site is available from Addgene (RRID: Addgene #187828).
After the transformation of the pGST2 vector encoding GST-TEV-NDP52 in E. coli Rosetta pLySS cells, grow cells in 2xTY medium at Temperature37 °C until an OD600 of 0.4 and then continued at Temperature18 °C .
Once the cells reached an OD600 of 0.8, induce protein expression with Concentration50 micromolar (µM) IPTG for Duration16:00:00 at Temperature18 °C .
16h
Collect cells by centrifugation and resuspend in lysis buffer.

30s
Clear lysates by centrifugation at Centrifigation18000 rpm, 4°C, 00:45:00 in a SORVAL RC6+ centrifuge with an F21S8x50Y rotor (Thermo Scientific).
45m
Centrifigation
Collect the supernatant and incubate with preequilibrated Glutathione Sepharose 4B beads (GE Healthcare) for Duration02:00:00 at Temperature4 °C with gentle shaking to bind GST-NDP52.
2h
Incubation
Centrifuge the samples to pellet the beads and remove the unbound lysate.
Centrifigation
Wash the beads.
Wash
Wash the beads twice with wash buffer.
Wash the beads with high salt wash buffer.
Again, wash the beads twice with wash buffer.
Incubate beads DurationOvernight with TEV protease at Temperature4 °C .

Incubation
Overnight
After the GST tag was cleaved off, filter the protein through a Thikness0.45 µm syringe filter, concentrated using a 30 kDa cut-off Amicon filter (Merck Millipore), and load onto a pre-equilibrated Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL column (Cytiva).
Elute proteins with SEC buffer.
Analyze fractions by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining.

Pool fractions containing purified NDP52.
After concentrating the purified protein, aliquot the protein and snap-freeze in liquid nitrogen. Store the proteins at Temperature-80 °C .
