Purification of TREK1 and TRAAK proteins.

(A) Zebrafish TREK1 or human TRAAK DNA sequences were purified by metal chromatography via a C-terminal HIS tag, and expressed as fusion proteins with GFP, cleaved off via a 3C protease cleavage site prior to (B,E) final size exclusion chromatography. (C, F) After SDS PAGE electrophoresis, purified protein ran at a molecular weight of approximately 65 kDa, consistent with a K2P dimer. Prior to photolabeling experiments, purified TREK1 protein was assessed for functional integrity by reconstitution into planar lipid bilayers to measure single-channel activity at the indicated holding potentials. Recordings were performed in symmetrical 150 mM KCl solution (D). hTRAAK protein was similarly active when reconstituted into bilayers (not shown).
