Localization of proteins in A. faecalis

Cell fractiona % Total recovery (n = 4)
AADHb Azurinc Cytochromed Malate dehydrogenasee
Periplasm 73.9 ± 2.5 76.5 ± 3.1 100 7.5 ± 0.9
Cytoplasm 24.3 ± 2.1 24.5 ± 0.3 0 89.8 ± 3.1

a

Cells were fractionated as described in Fig. 1

b

The steady-state assay for AADH activity was performed as described previously (12). 

c

The amount of purified azurin was quantitated using the extinction coefficient ɛ600 = 4,000 M−1 cm−1 (13). 

d

Cytochrome c levels were quantitated by performing densitometry of the heme-stained proteins after SDS-PAGE. 

e

The assay of malate dehydrogenase was performed as described previously (1). 

f

ND, it was not possible to determine what azurin if any remains associated with the membrane fraction as it is a soluble protein that can be detected only spectrophotometrically.
