[Chlamydomonas] lysis conditions

[Josh Rappoport]

I am interested in making a Chlamy cell lysate for use in 
pulling-down binding partners to a GST-fusion protein expressed 
in bacteria and then bound to glutathione beads.
Thus, I would like to be able to get at the cytosolic proteins 
leaving behind the nuclei, chloroplasts, and the associated DNA.
Does anyone have a protocol for doing this?
I suppose it would start with getting rid of the cell wall, 
followed by disruption either mechanically and/or by mild 
detergents and finally ending with pelleting of insoluble 
material.
Thank you very much.

Josh
