If you want a ClpP minus strain you can get it from the Keio strains. http://cgsc.biology.yale.edu/index.php http://www.shigen.nig.ac.jp/ecoli/strain/top/top.jsp For expression with the T7 promotor, you will need to use the λDE3 Lysogenization Kit or use a Arabinose induction plasmid instead.

Dear Jerry, Whats about an N-terminal His-Tag with an Xa factor cleavage site behind it... After IMAC you only get protein with the entire N-Terminus (His-Tag), afterward digest the protein with Xa factor...it won¹t leave any additional amino acids C-terminally! You¹ll get your protein! ;)

Factor Xa will work depending on the exact sequence. If your sequence starts MRS... and the start methionine is important and not removed then yes it will work when you clone it into a Factor Xa site. If however the start sequence starts RS... and the start methionine is actually removed, when

Dear ALL: Recently I am expressing one protein in BL21(DE3) and the protein undergoes N-terminal degradation. I am trying to keep this crucial N-terminal tail on the protein, which has MRS at the first 3 positions. Digging in to the literatures, I found the N-end rule,
