Abstract

IntroductionThe study of protein stability is crucial to biochemistry and relies on different methodologies. Recently, the Cellular Thermal Shift Assay has been introduced to study protein stability in whole cells. MethodsWe report a novel application of CeTSA named ReBaTSA. This Recombinant Bacterial TSA was performed using clear extracts from bacteria expressing a recombinant protein, incubated at different temperatures, centrifuged and analyzed via SDS-PAGE. Results and conclusionsWe demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of this simplified approach. We validated the method using the protein phosphomannomutase-2 and its common mutants, which were compared in the presence or the absence of a known ligand.
