Hi,

Is anyone has worked with STAT1 proteins?

I have cloned the SH2 domain of STAT1 protein into pet28a vector but there
was no expression so far or rather say inconsistent expression. Sometimes
the expression was in inclusion bodies.  I have tried different methods to
pull out the protein from inclusion bodies using urea, guanidium chloride
tween20 but none of them worked well. The yield was very low (very faint
band on SDS-PAGE ) from 3-liter culture. I changed the host cells from BL21
to Rosetta DE3 cells but no success so far.

We thought to use some other vector system like with SUMO tag but did not
proceed because the aim of the project to design inhibitor and tag will
interfere.

Please suggest me something so that I can complete my project in lesser
time.


Looking forward to valuable suggestions.

Thanks
Anamika
