One classical way to optimize expression level is to screen culture conditions.
For my proteins, I solved my expression problems by changing the
expression vector to a pET or changing a pET 20 to a pET 30 (if the
protein is toxic).
But keep in mind that a low but folded expression is better than

Hi Andrea,
We have seen examples where it can make a dramatic difference, no
expression even with codon plus strains, but really good expression
with the daughter constructs as already pointed out. It is
particularly true for parasite proteins where the percentage of AT is
higher than bacteria.

There has been a somewhat related discussion in the lab the other day.
If some colonies might express well and other not so well, why don't I
just scoop up loads and start my culture from them
of such transformations
(i.e. without purifying single colonies) may pose a problem later.

Rumor also has it that more than one bad codon in a row, particular
near the beginning, can be extra-bad. For one small, A/T rich
protein, we simply fixed a pair of bad Arg codons near the
N-terminus at the same time as recloning it, by using the N-terminal
cloning primer to do the
it was as easy to dial it up!).
Happy expressionizing.

Hi, everyone - long time reader, first time poster:
I'm also among the strongly opposed camp regarding mixing colonies for
expression. Namely, when expressing proteins which might be slightly toxic to
their host cells - either as a direct toxin, or by somehow altering the host's
gene expression
Dear All,
I am getting very little (not zero) expression of my protein. I am curious to
know if it is worthwhile to codon optimize my gene, which is ~1200bp, for
E.coli. Can you have too much of a good thing? Can codon optimizing
overwhelm the cell or in some way cause death or lowered
