Directly after size exclusion chromatography chMDA5 deltaCARD-Q was mixed with 24-mer dsRNA in a 0.5:1 molar ratio and incubated for 30 minutes on ice. The complexes were concentrated to around 10 mg/ml and 2 mM AMPPNP and 200 mM NDSB211 (Dimethyl(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium propane sulfonate) were added. chMDA5 delatCARD-Q:24bp dsRNA:AMPPNP was mixed with reservoir buffer (0.1 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 11-12% PEG 3350, 2-4% sucrose) in a 2:1 ratio. Crystals grew in three days at 20 degree and were harvested in cryo-protecting solution (0.1 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 25% 3350, 10% ethylene glycol) before flash freezing with liquid nitrogen |
