Efficient cell-free translation from diverse human cell types.

ABSTRACT: Cell-free translation systems are indispensable for studying protein synthesis, enabling researchers to explore translational regulation across different cell types. The difficulties in producing cell-free translation systems from different cell types limit the ability to study regulatory mechanisms that depend on different biological contexts. Here, we present a scalable method for preparing translation-competent lysates from a range of frequently used human cell lines using dual centrifugation. We optimized lysis conditions for adherent and suspension cells, producing high-quality lysates from HEK-293 (adherent and in suspension), HeLa, SH-SY5Y, and U2OS cells. Our results demonstrate that cell-specific factors influence translation efficiency, with adherent HeLa cells showing the highes
