How to avoid protein precipitaion ?

I am working on a thermophilic protein (pI: 7.72) purified using Ni-NTA chromatography (Final buffer: 25mM Pipes (6.6), 300mM NaCl, 1mM PMSF, 10% glycerol, 200mM imidazole). But the protein...

Does cloning vectors (pET series specially) confers toxicity to the gene/protein of interest?

I am working on a thermophilic protein which is not known to be toxic. It was earlier cloned in pET11a and cell death was observed after 2-3 hrs of IPTG (0.1mM) induction. I then cloned the gene...

Is there any protein expression host designed for thermophilic bacteria? Can it be expressed in E.coli hosts namely Rosetta, C43 DE3 or not?

I am trying to purify a protein from a thermophilic bacteria (gene cloned in DH5 alpha) but I am not getting expression of my protein after IPTG induction. I have tried with different expression...
