A solubility screen to identify centrosome protein complexes

Our collaboration with @GregoryCRogers1 is online @JCellBiol and I wanted to highlight one aspect that is somewhat buried, but took my lab nearly 2 years to complete

the pExpress-Dual screen

rupress.org/jcb/article/21… Frustrated by years of failed centrosome protein purifications for biochemical assays and crystallography, we realized that - proteins need their partners to be HAPPY - . So Sarah Speed, a postbac, designed a screen to isolation soluble centrosome protein complexes Image
