Hi,
I found that my protein bound ethidium bromide in an agarose gel. I tested that
by treating my protein with protease and DNAse in two different tubes and
running a gel. The band in the agarose gel disappeared only when the
protein was treated with protease. It is worth trying.
I hope that
Dear Stefan,
just saw this after reading post:

Pramod,
You already got good suggestions on how to handle DNA contamination in protein
preparations.
Let me point out briefly that you haven't demonstrated yet
Hi
Thanks all, I appreciate all the valuable inputs..
Piush..
I ll be trying Benzonase up next.. but since the DNA appears so secluded
for DNAses, it makes me little skeptical as mg and DNAse already been there
for ON dialysis.

That an entire 500bp would be protected from DNase seems very very strange -
but very interesting if true!
Could that band on the agarose gel be something else? Protein will stain a bit
with ethidium as well as with coomassie. Did you add SDS before running the
agarose gel or is it native
Pramod,

Let me point out briefly that you haven't demonstrated yet that your
contamination is DNA.
I had the same observation when purifying UvsX. A very persistent and strong
contamination in all
Correction,
I meant to say 0.5kb, not 500kb
sorry for that.

Dear all
Sorry for off topic and lengthy post, but I came across a very unique DNA
contamination during one membrane protein purification (a microbial
external environment sensor/response protein)

Dear Pramod Kumar,
if the DNA binds to the protein, wouldn't this affect the interpretation
of the Agarose gel?
500 bases should result in a distinct shift during gel filtration. Do
you observe this?
While waiting for suggestions, you might set up crystallisation trials
just in case?

Do a spin after bacterial cell breaking at 8K to get rid of a nuclear pellet
Also there is a nuclease preparation available called benzonase
it is most effective when you also add magnesium in your buffer
so in your homogenization buffer add magnesium and should avoid any EDTA

On Thu,
Stepwise addition to 1% PEI (polyethylenimine) following cell lysis
(before dialysis) should do the trick.
