Expression and purification of Dslo-C280. (A) Immunoblot
detection of Dslo-C280 band by anti-FLAG M2 antibody in various
fractions of E. coli before (lane 1) or after (lanes
2–6) induction with IPTG. Lanes: 1, whole cells before IPTG; 2,
insoluble protein pellet from lysed cells; 3, soluble protein from
lysed cells; 4, whole cells; 5, soluble fraction after high sucrose
treatment; and 6, soluble fraction after osmotic shock.
(B) Purification via FLAG epitope on M2 anti-FLAG
affinity column. SDS/PAGE of various fractions. Lanes: 1, molecular
mass markers (K = kDa); 2, crude soluble extract; 3, crude
inclusion body sample; 4, fraction from soluble extract after M2 column
purification; and 5, fraction of renatured inclusion protein after M2
column purification. (C) Purification by SEC. SDS/PAGE
of fractions from TSK G3000SW column. Lanes: 1, molecular mass markers;
2, SEC peak fraction at ≈68 kDa; and 3, SEC peak fraction at ≈34
kDa. (D) Purification via His6-tag of
renatured inclusion protein. SDS/PAGE of various fractions from
Ni2+-NTA column. The arrow in B,
C, and D points to the Dslo-C280 band.
