Abstract Tentonin-3 is a mechanosensitive channel protein which is activated by mechanical stimuli. To characterize the structure-function relationship of tentonin-3, we established an efficient expression system of a recombinant human tentonin-3 as a fusion protein of P9star in the membrane fraction of E. coli. About 9 mg of P9star-tentonin-3 was expressed in the membrane fraction of Star(DE3) pRARE from 3 L fed-batch culture. The expressed P9star-tentonin-3 was purified using Ni-NTA chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography in homogeneity. The purified protein appears as tetrameric complex and reconstituted into LUVs. The channel opening activity of reconstituted tantonin-3 has been investigated by various types of mechanical stress.
