Sarkosyl solubility of membrane-associated OmpC. Purified whole-cell envelopes were treated either with just buffer (Untreated) or with Sarkosyl as indicated. After incubation, samples were centrifuged to separate Sarkosyl-soluble proteins (S, supernatant) from envelopes containing Sarkosyl-insoluble proteins (P, pellet). OmpC from each fraction was detected by Western blot analysis with polyclonal antibodies specific to OmpC. Lanes: 1 and 5, DegP+ OmpC1Cys; 2 and 6, DegP+ OmpC2Cys; 3 and 7, DegPS210A OmpC1Cys; 4 and 8, DegPS210A OmpC2Cys.
