Biosafe Coomassie blue staining (A) and radioactivity (B) of native PAGE gel. The positions of GST-*PhoR, His10-PhoPWT, and His10-PhoPR113E are indicated on the left. GST-*PhoR and His10-PhoPR113E or His10-PhoPWT (1 μg each) were mixed with or without 10 μCi of [γ-32P]ATP in phosphorylation buffer. After incubation at room temperature for 20 min, the mixture was loaded onto the native gel. Lanes 1, GST-*PhoR with His10-PhoPR113E in the presence of [γ-32P]ATP; lanes 2, GST-*PhoR with His10-PhoPR113E; lanes 3, GST-*PhoR with His10-PhoPWT in the presence of [γ-32P]ATP; lanes 4, GST-*PhoR with His10-PhoPWT.
