Isolation and purification of RstB-His. (A) Chromatogram on a Ni-CAM HC His tag affinity column. (B) SDS-PAGE monitoring of the purification process of RstB-His. Lane 1, broad-range protein molecular mass markers (Promega); lane 2, cell extract of uninduced cultures; lane 3, cell extract of expression-induced cultures; lane 4, soluble fraction of the sonicate from expression-induced cultures; lane 5, insoluble fraction of the sonicate from expression-induced cultures; lane 6, soluble fraction of the 8 M urea extract; lane 7, RstB-His eluted from the column.
