title: Purification of a full-length recombinant glucocorticoid receptor.
abstract: We described a novel purification method for a recombinant glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in detail. The purification procedure consists of sequential chromatographies using common ion-exchange columns (Mono Q and Mono S). This procedure is based upon a new finding that the activated GR binds both to a Mono Q column and to a Mono S column at the same pH. The entire chromatographies took about 3 h and GR represented 97% of the purified protein sample. This purification protocol will be applicable to the purification of native GR, point-mutated recombinant GR and other nuclear receptors.
