Membrane localization of HxcQV5 secretin in E. coli. Membrane fractions were collected after centrifugation on a density sucrose gradient and their protein content analyzed under denaturing SDS-PAGE conditions. HxcQV5 multimers and monomers were detected with HxcQ antibodies. IM fractions were defined by NADH activity and TolR detection. OM fractions were defined by the visual identification of E. coli OM porins on Coomassie Blue-stained gel.
