Dimerization analysis of the W89E substitution. Analytical size exclusion chromatography and ultracentrifugation was utilized to determine the oligomeric state of the W89E substitution. The calculated molecular mass of a ChxRFL monomer or dimer is 25.8 or 51.6 kDa, respectively. A, wild-type ChxRFL (solid line) eluted from an analytical size exclusion column as a dimer with an approximate molecular mass of 45 kDa, whereas ChxRFLW89E (dashed line) eluted from the column as a compact monomer with an approximate molecular mass of 16 kDa. B, wild-type ChxRRec (solid line) and ChxRRecW89E (dashed line) eluted from an analytical size exclusion column as a dimer (21 kDa) and monomer (9.8 kDa), respectively. C, wild-type ChxRFL (solid line) was determined to exist as a dimer through analytical ultracentrifugation with an approximate molecular mass of 46.6 kDa, whereas ChxRFLW89E (dashed line) was determined to exist as a monomer with an approximate molecular mass of 23.9 kDa.
