The polybasic head indicative of your protein to have some possible membrane association? Try a detergent in your buffers might help. Also some of the polybasic head for protein need lipid association to be happy (PI and PCh)? Padayatti On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Jahan Alikhajeh

[ccp4bb] Purification of a protein

2013-08-23 Thread Jahan Alikhajeh
Dear Friends, I have been trying to purify a protein (27 kDa) which has a sumo plus 6 His-tag at N-ter giving totaly a 45 kDa protein. This protein does not express without sumo tag and has a poly basic tail (Arg and Lys) at its N-ter. It does polymerize at acidic pHs. When I tried to purify it

Why not adopt a classical purification strategy? IEX-HIC-GEC. His-tag not required. With your protein strongly basic, anion exchange seems like a likely first step. After IEX, hydrophobic interaction or salt precipitation followed by gel exclusion is normally enough for well-expressed proteins.

i am not sure this would work as his protein seems to be degraded by the n end degradation pathway. i feel like it almost needs to be expressed as a fusion protein with some stabilizing sequence On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 10:08 PM, Roger Rowlett rrowl...@colgate.eduwrote: Why not adopt a
