Expression and Purification of pAG-MNase for CUT&RUN
摘要
Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) is a chromatin profiling strategy that releases specific DNA–protein complexes from in situ chromatin to the supernatant. CUT&RUN employs the hybrid protein pAG-MNase, composed of IgG binding proteins A and G, followed by micrococcal nuclease. Here, I describe the expression and purification of recombinant pAG-MNase as well as the assessment of its enzymatic activity. Purified pAG-MNase is hyperactive and enables large-scale analyses.
