PUREfrex Reaction Supplements - supplements expand the potential of base kits -
Overview
Depend on your protein’s property, we have supplements to add to PUREfrex® kit. Molecular chaperones, DnaK Mix or GroE Mix, are for improving folding and solubility. DsbC Set or PDI Set are for making disulfide bonds. Depending on each protein, adding those supplements to PUREfrex® kit helps effective translation and folding simultaneously.
Chaperones -DnaK Mix / GroE Mix-
Molecular chaperones such as hsp70 (e.g. E. coli DnaK) assist the correct folding of the newly synthesized proteins. Because PUREfrex® does not contain any molecular chaperones, some proteins may have difficulty in forming the correct conformation and be insoluble after synthesis. In such cases, molecular chaperones could contribute to make them soluble and active.

Experiment Workflow
General procedures for using PUREfrex® to synthesize functional proteins are shown in Figure.
Start by preparing the template DNA suitable to the protein synthesis with PUREfrex® and examine whether the protein of interest is synthesized. Redesign the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA if too little protein is synthesized.
Add DnaK Mix/GroE Mix as supplement to PUREfrex® reaction mixture if the solubility or activity of the synthesized protein is low.
DnaK Mix
DnaK Mix is newly developed supplements for PUREfrex® series (Cell-free protein Synthesis Kits) to assist proper folding and improving solubility of the protein that needs molecular chaperones for proper protein folding, since PUREfrex® series (Cell-free protein Synthesis Kits) do not contain molecular chaperones.
DnaK Mix is consisted of highly purified DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE from E.coli with optimized ratio. DnaK known as Hsp70 has ATPase activity and is stimulated by co-chaperones, DnaJ and GrpE. DnaJ facilitates the ATPase activity of DnaK and could bind to a hydrophobic region of synthesized protein. GrpE stimulates ADP/ATP exchange rate of DnaK.
DnaK Mix works very well with PUREfrex® series (Cell-free protein Synthesis Kits) and DsbC Set (Supplement for forming disulfide bonds) in a same tube for protein synthesis reaction, which could lead to the preparation of your protein in proper folding with good solubility according to the character of your protein.

Forming disulfide bonds -DsbC Set / PDI Set-
Formation of disulfide bonds is important for folding and stability of secretory proteins such as enzymes or antibodies. Disulfide bonds are usually formed by oxidation of sulfhydryl groups (SH-) of adjacent cysteine residues. Therefore, disulfide bond formation efficiency depends on redox state. Additionally, disulfide bond isomerase which can catalyze the exchange of disulfide bridges may be required for correct cysteine pairing.

Other proteins -EF-P-
The E. coli translation factor EF-P (elongation factor P), a bacterial homolog of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), functions to promote peptide bond formation between the first methionine and the next amino acid as well as the elongation of consecutive proline residues (3 or more residues). In bacteria, LYS34 of EF-P is modified post translationally to ß-lysllysine by EpmA (YjeA/GenX) and EpmB (YjeK). This modification is important to EF-P activity. PUREfrex EF-P Supplement contains this modification at LYS34.
