Apparently, the recombinant protein is going into inclusion bodies, so I am trying to purify it under denaturing conditions (8 M urea). The problem is that after lysis there is a lack of the His tag, because it is not longer recognised by Ni-NTA conjugate (Qiagen) Does any one have any recommendations of how to generate a lysate without losing the His tag?
>Are you sure you are losing the his tag (ie. does a western blot with
anti-His antibody no longer work)? I have had difficulties with some
amino-terminal his tagged proteins not recognising Ni-NTA agarose,
although the epitope was clearly there. If it is possible for your
protein, try moving the tag to the carboxyl terminus.
