Re: [ccp4bb] protein cleavage

Since you're seeing the MBP band, it sounds as if you're getting some cleavage. If there were no cleave you would only see the fusion and TEV bands on the gel. It may be that your protein is not stable/soluble without the MBP fusion. Different buffer conditions may help if your protein is

Another option is to try NEB NiCo21(DE3) cells. http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/products/productC2529.asp I have no relation to NEB beyond being a customer. They've mutated GlmS to eliminate binding to IMAC resins and have added chitin affinity tags to SlyD, ArnA and Can to allow simple post-

I'm not quite sure what you want, but I have a series of vectors encoding various N-terminal tags and fusions, all followed by a TEV site. They have an MCS standard to many pET vectors. Therefore, they are designed to clone your gene in using the NdeI site at the 5' end (which will,

Using pQE30, any E. coli is an expression host. Because it uses the T5 promoter, you don't need an E. coli strain carrying the T7 RNA polymerase (so, you don't need a DE3 strain). As noted by Artem, you are most likely having a leaky expression problem. However, it is odd that DH5a will

There is GENtle which has a whole slew of tools associated with it. There are versions for several platforms. http://gentle.magnusmanske.de/ If you're used to Vector NTI, it is pretty similar (and open source for the ambitious). _ Cynthia Kinsland, Ph. D. Director
