Have you tried dialyzing the "purified" protein after elution into a no imidazole buffer while doing TEV cleavage, and then reloading on to a His column to remove the tag and TEV? I've found in my experience that this often recaptures a lot of the background proteins. If you're getting a 70kDa

my comment on expression of protein being low and nonspecific binding. Amount of protein of expressed protein less = less resin = less nonspecific binding? (one have to do experiments to find right amount of resin to get least non-specific binding still pull out most of your protein of interest is

Your mileage will vary: prset is an almost always quasi constituitive vector due to leakage, with additional induction upon expression of T7 pol. This is not always bad since some proteins do not fold well upon avalanche inducton but do in fact fold when expressed at a trickle (even good old lac pr

avoid pRSET would be my recommendation - my impression from a couple of examples is pRSET gives badly folded protein. Can you easily subclone it in a better expression vector? (personally, even if it were not so easy, I would reclone it in another expression vector). Mark J van Raaij Laboratorio

Another option is to try NEB NiCo21(DE3) cells. http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/products/productC2529.asp I have no relation to NEB beyond being a customer. They've mutated GlmS to eliminate binding to IMAC resins and have added chitin affinity tags to SlyD, ArnA and Can to allow simple post- I
