[ccp4bb] Heme binding protein

2011-06-21 Thread Hari Namboodiri
Hello All, I have purified recombinant Aspergillus CYP51 from E.coli. But it seems that there is protein there but it is white and not red. No hemeprotein is present as seen in spectral studies or by eye. The spectral studies were done ~ 1mg/ml concentration. I did include 5-aminolevulinic acid

Dear Tom, There is a nice paper which addresses your problem. They coexpressed two representative Tyr kinases known for autophosphorylation activity with YopH Tyr phosphatase (Assuming yours is also a Tyr Kinase). You may contact the authors for the expression plasmid. High yield bacterial exp

Hi CCPers Can anyone provide insights about expressing heme containing proteins in E.col? Does E.coli need any porphyrin precursor during expression or you need special E.coli strains. I have references mentioning delta-aminolevulinic acid for one ortholog but none for another. The enzyme is CY
