Binding of YscY-FLAG to MBP-YscX. Cell pellet fractions from BL21(DE3) expressing MBP, MBP-YscX, MBP-YscY, and MBP-YopN were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to Immobilon membranes. MBP migrated slower than expected due to an in-frame fusion between malE and the vector LacZ α-peptide-encoding sequences. (A) Detection of MBP, MBP-YscX, MBP-YscY, and MBP-YopN with antiserum specific for MBP. (B) Immobilon membrane containing SDS-PAGE-separated MBP, MBP-YscX, MBP-YscY, and MBP-YopN probed with a BL21(DE3) extract containing YscY-FLAG. Bound YscY-FLAG was detected with the FLAG M2 monoclonal antibody.
