Re: [ccp4bb] SUMO and SUMO protease

Hi Gloria, I have extensively used SUMO and echoing Artem's sentiment. SUMO has worked well in my hands for most instances. The additional benefit is that, assuming you use His-SUMO-target, following His-tag affinity purification, you can cleave the SUMO tag, followed by reverse IMAC (i.e., collec

Hi Gloria! What’s the point of publishing a nice paper if nobody reads it? *Sigh* (see reference below, we’re happy to share vectors). So yes, SUMO fusions have definitely worked for us; this strategy is our first choice for expressing any new soluble protein, and we use it for a lot of membra

Affirmative on all these questions: SUMO works well SUMO protease is super easy to make in house As to which one - regular SUMO for E. coli and SUMO* for mammalian or insect cell systems because regular SUMO may get cleaved by the intrinsic protease. SUMO* is a triple mutant, with corresponding m

2024-12-12 Thread Gloria Borgstahl
Hello friends, Yet another kinda off topic question from me. I am looking into SUMO tags for my protein of interest to help solubility. Has this worked for you? If so which SUMO and protease do you use? Can the protease be made in house? So far I am looking at the pET SUMO system. Is this th
