Receptor Interacting Protein 1 (RIP1) kinase is one of the key mediators of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) signaling and is critical for activation of necroptotic cell death. We developed a method for expression of recombinant kinase, utilizing baculovirus co-infection of Cdc37, an Hsp90 co-chaperone, and RIP1-His, followed by a two-step purification scheme. After optimization, 1–3mg of highly purified RIP1 kinase was typically obtained from a 1L of Sf9 cells. The recombinant protein displayed kinase activity that was blocked by RIP1 inhibitors, necrostatins. The purified protein was used to develop a simple and robust thermal shift assay for further assessment of RIP1 inhibitors.
