try codon optimisation use Rosetta 2 strains fuse to MBP I expressed a yeast protein of ~100 KDa, expression was low until I fused it to MBp (resulting protein ~ 150 KDa)

Hi, I would like to add one thing to the already good list of suggestions. You can try to express your protein in Lactococcus lactis. We've earlier had successful expression in lactis where it was none or only inclusion bodies in E. coli. See for example: Kunji et al. Biochim Biophys Act

With the disclaimer that I have yet to work with a flavoprotein, is there enough FAD around in your culture to allow for proper folding of your protein ? Maybe adding riboflavin to you media, or trying ultimately to refold you protein from inclusion bodies (which will be very pure) in the presence

a couple of quick things. This sounds like more of a protein-folding issue. The lack of expression is probably caused by the cells clearing of aggregated protein. You want to have conditions where the protein can properly fold. 1) have you considered periplasmic expression by adding a periplas

Hi Wei Yong, Sounds like a tricky situation. A couple of things come to mind: 1) Have you tried expression from a synthetic gene? Sometimes the mRNA is unstable and improving mRNA stability through optimization (synthetic gene) helps. 2) Are you able to look at either human isoforms or ortho

Dear all, I know that there are a lot of experts having experience in expressing a big protein in E.coli or yeast. My project is about a 95kd covalently-FAD-binding protein (Human protein). I tried very hard but have a bad luck over the past 1.5 years. I list what I did briefly so far. I am loo
