Hey Giulliana, does your protein buffer contain high imidazole concentrations ( > 150 mM)? If so you should try to exchange the buffer before cleavage, since the TEV protease tends to precipitate at higher imidazole concentrations. Schara > Am 02.05.2015 um 19:56 schrieb Giulliana Rangel : >

These are the usual culprits My buffers for cleavage and an on-column digestion worked good. (see below) Also most likely your TEV source (do not go cheap) enzyme is inactive (gone bad). Get a clone for TEV and make your own TEV in the lab. It save you a ton of money . 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) 15

Hey, I always had very good results with cleaving with TEV at 4C overnight (30min are to short at this temperature). Alternatively, I did the TEV cleavage at 16-23C for 1-3 h. 37C might just be to warm for your protein... Since some time I switched to the PreScission system instead of using TEV

Hi Anita, so you tested your crystals inhouse, any idea how they do at the synchrotron ? Still no diffraction ? Since it's a hexamer I would expect the His-tag to be not so important and would rather rescreen with seeding first to see if any other conditions might result in diffracting crystals

I'd say since you obtained crystals with your tag it is not a disturbing factor and either disordered or making contacts. So removing the tag you might end up not getting crystals in the worst case. Now to the question why they don't diffract. Did you test the old fashioned way at RT in capillar

Hey Anita, I would like to add to Artem's comment that you can also try and cleave the protein at 30c for 2hr and then continue the cleavage overnight at 4c (you should check and see that your protein can withstand 30c incubation for 2hr, of course). In regard to your non-diffracting crystals - you

For starters, you could re-clone the protein with e.g. just a His tag or move the tag to another end, or put some distance between the end of TEV site and the protein; or perhaps use no tag at all -- or a different one? Is it possible that the tag is messing you up - yes. Is it 'probable' - I can'
