Purification of apo-(His)6YcdB. (a) SDS–PAGE (12% acrylamide) of samples at different stages of apo-(His)6YcdB purification from the (His)6YcdB overexpressing strain. MWM, molecular-weight markers (kDa); lane 1, soluble crude extract following cell lysis and centrifugation; lane 2, apo-(His)6YcdB after Ni2+-affinity chromatography; lane 3, apo-(His)6YcdB following anion-exchange chromatography. Approximately 50, 20 and 5 µg of protein were loaded in lanes 1, 2 and 3, respectively. (b) Elution profile of overexpressed (His)6YcdB during Ni2+-affinity chromatography. The concentration of imidazole applied to the column is indicated, as are the elution peaks corresponding to the apo and holo forms of (His)6YcdB. |
