Purification of recombinant PMI1 and PMI2 proteins. Recombinant PMI1
and PMI2 proteins were expressed in E. coli, purified with
Ni2+ affinity chromatography, and verified using SDS-PAGE with
Coomassie Blue staining. The experimental conditions are described
under”Experimental Procedures.“The left lane and
right lane of each PMI contain 15 μg of crude extract and 2 μg
of purified recombinant protein, respectively. M, molecular mass
standards (Amersham Biosciences) as indicated on the left. E, empty
pCold II vector.
