Quick question about Tev sites –
We have a situation where our N-terminal TEV site is inaccessible to
the protease. Looking at a close homolog, we realized that our first
protein residue is already involved in a beta sheet. From peoples’
experience – how FEW residues can we add between the cleavage site and
the first protein residue in order to make the cleavage site
accessible to the protease for efficient cleavage of the tag? (Tagged
protein behaves well but crystallizes poorly, we are hoping that
cleavage of the tag will improve things)
Thanks for any anecdotes-

Hi Christine,
According to our experience, a 3 amino-acids long linker (Ser-Gly-Ala)
between TEV recognition sequence and your protein of interest is enough
for efficient cleavage. Remember that after cleavage, this linker will
be part of your protein to be crystallized.
Good luck,
Seb
