The tandem affinity purification (TAP) procedure was initially developed as a tool for rapid purification of native protein complexes expressed at their natural levels in yeast cells. This purification procedure was also applied to study interactions between soluble proteins in mammalian cells. In order to apply this procedure to mammalian membrane proteins, we created a modified TAP tag expression vector and fused with the PKD2 gene, encoding a membrane cation channel protein, polycystin-2, mutated in 15% of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. We generated epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney cell line stably expressing TAP-tagged polycystin-2, improved the subsequent steps for membrane protein release and stability, and succeeded in purifying this protein. Using patch clamp electrophysiology we detected specific polycystin-2 channel activities when the purified protein was reconstituted into a lipid bilayer system. Thus, this modified TAP procedure provides a powerful alternative to functionally characterize membrane proteins, such as ion channels, transporters and receptors, using cell-free system derived from mammalian cells.
