I. DESCRIPTION
GenScript High-Affinity GST Resin (L00206) is designed for the rapid, single-step purification of glutathione S-
transferases, glutathione-dependent proteins and recombinant derivatives of glutathione S-transferase, including
glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins expressed in E. coli, insect cells and mammalian cells. GST fusion
proteins can be purified directly from bacterial lysate using High-Affinity GST Resin. High-Affinity GST Resin (50%
slurry) has a protein binding capacity of > 6 mg GST/ml packed resin.

V. STORAGE

VI. GST-FUSED PROTEIN PURIFICATION PROTOCOL
A. Preparation of Cell Extract
1. Harvest cells by centrifugation at 3,000 g at 4oC for 10 min, remove and discard the supernatant.
Resuspend the cell pellet in 3 mL ice-cold PBS Buffer per 50 mL culture and centrifuge at 3,000 g at 4oC
for 10 min. Remove and discard the supernatant.
2. Freeze the cell pellet at -80 ºC for 1 hour (This is also a convenient point to stop and one can continue the
procedure later).
3. Thaw cell pellet on ice and re-suspend cells in 3 mL of ice-cold PBS Buffer per 50 mL culture. If desired,
add appropriate additives, such as non-ionic detergents (NP-40) or protease inhibitors (PMSF).
4. Break the cells by brief pulses of sonication on ice until the sample is no longer viscous.
5. Centrifuge at 12,000 g at 4 ºC for 10 min and carefully transfer the supernatant (Soluble Fraction) to a
clean and pre-chilled tube and resuspend pellet (Insoluble Fraction) with 3 mL of ice-cold PBS Buffer per
50 mL of E. coli culture.
6. Aliquot 10 µL samples from both Soluble and Insoluble Fractions for SDS-PAGE Analysis (by adding equal
volume of 2 x SDS sample loading buffer, boil for 5 min and run SDS-PAGE to determine the amount and
solubility of the GST-fusion protein).
Note: a. The binding of GST or GST-fusion protein to High Affinity GST Resin is not affected by 1% Triton
X-100, 1% Tween-20, 1% CTAB, 10 mM DTT, 0.03% SDS, or 0.1% NP-40. These chemicals may be used to
reduce non-specific binding.
b. If the target GST-fusion protein forms inclusion body (insoluble protein), inclusion body has to be
properly solubilized and refolded prior to purification).
B. Purification of Recombinant GST-Fusion Protein
1. Shake gently the bottle containing the High-Affinity GST Resin until all the resin is completely in suspension.
2. Transfer an appropriate amount of resin (50% slurry) to a disposable column (included in Kit L00207 and
L00208) using a pipet. Usually 1 ml of resin (from 2 ml of 50% slurry) can bind more than 6 mg of GST protein.
3. Wash the GST resin with 10 bed volumes of cold (4°C) PBS.
4. Apply clear solution (sonicate, etc) containing GST-fusion protein in PBS to the equilibrated column with the
flow rate at 10-15 cm/h.
5. Add PBS to wash the column just after all the protein solution get into the column, use 20 bed volumes of PBS
for wash. Protease inhibitors such as PMSF are better added to the wash solution to inhibit protease activity.
6. Elute the fusion protein with 10-15 bed volumes of freshly made 10 mM Glutathione Elution Buffer (0.154 g of
reduced glutathione dissolved in 50 ml of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0.).
7. Monitor elution of the fusion protein using absorbance readings at 280 nm.
8. Aliquot 10-20 µL of supernatant containing GST-fusion protein, flow through, wash and the eluted protein,
respectively, and analyze all the samples by running SDS-PAGE to confirm the presence of the target protein.
An example was shown in Figure 1.
9. Pool eluted fractions containing target protein. Remove free glutathione by dialysis at 4 ºC against a buffer of
choice or by using a G15 Sephadex desalt column.
C. Regeneration and Storage of High Affinity GST Resin
GenScript High-Affinity GST Resin can be reused to purify the same protein three times without regeneration. If the
target GST-fusion protein is different, however, High-Affinity GST Resin must be regenerated using the following
protocol:
1. Wash the column with 2 bed volumes of 0.1 M Tris HCl + 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.5.
2. Wash the column with 2 bed volumes of 0.1 M sodium acetate + 0.5 M NaCl, pH 4.5.
3. Re-equilibrate the column with 3-5 bed volumes of 1X PBS.
4. For long-term storage, the resin should be stored in 20% ethanol at 4 ºC.

VII. Troubleshooting
The table below is guideline for troubleshooting.
Problem
Probable Cause
Solution
The yield of the
purified fusion
protein is low or
undetectable
The fusion protein forms
inclusion body.
The fusion protein does not
bind to GST Resin efficiently.
The fusion protein does not
contain active GST.
The fusion protein is degraded
by protease.
The fusion protein is not
efficiently eluted from High
Affinity GST Resin.
Grow bacteria at low temperature (20-30 ºC), or reduce
final concentration of IPTG to 0.1 mM for protein induction,
or reduce the induction time.
Properly dissolve and refold the inclusion body prior to the
purification.
Use batch method for purification. Incubate clear solution
(sonicate, etc) containing GST-fusion protein with GST
Resin for 2 hours or longer (such as overnight) and then
load the mixture onto the column.
Use mild sonication condition or other lysis method, such
as lysozyme so that GST is not denatured.
Add appropriate protease inhibitors such as PMSF in the
lysis solution and wash solution.
Increase elution time or Increase the concentration of
fer.

Adjust the pH of the Elution Buffer to 8.0-9.0 without
increasing the glutathione concentration.
Add Triton X-100 (0.1%, final concentration) or
Noctylglucoside (2%, final concentration) or NaCl (0.1 -
0.2 M, final concentration) to the Elution Buffer.

Multiple bands
observed in the
eluted protein
The fusion protein is
degradated by protease.
Some host proteins, such as
chaperonins, may interact with
the fusion protein.
Over-sonication will cause
some protein to bind to the
fusion protein.
Some protein will bind to the
fusion protein or beads non-
specifically.
Add appropriate protease inhibitors (or inhibitor cocktails)
such as PMSF in the lysis solution and wash solution.
Add DTT (5 mM, final concentration) in the Wash Buffer.
Incubate the recombinant protein solution in Chaperonin
Buffer (2 mM ATP, 10 mM MgSO4, 50 mM Tris-HCl) at 37
ºC for 10 min prior to the purification.
Use milder sonication condition or another lysis method.
Optimizing the wash conditions. Detergents such as 1%
Triton X-100, 1% Tween-20, 0.03% SDS, or 0.1% NP-40
may be used to reduce non-specific binding. Salt
concentration in the wash solution can also be optimized
to reduce non-specific binding.
