Anion-exchange chromatography (Q-Sepharose
column) of a soybean seed extract. After loading, the column was washed
with buffer A (see Methods) at 0.5 mL/min, and then
a KCl gradient (0–0.5 m) was applied. Final wash was with
2 m KCl. Fractions of 2 mL were collected, desalted, and
concentrated with Microcon-10 concentrators. Proteins were
separated on 9% SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, and probed
with antibodies as indicated. strept, Streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase
conjugate. The central part of the chromatographic profile is expanded
to align with the lanes on the protein-blot panels. The positions of
electrophoretic protein molecular-mass markers are shown at the right
side of the panels for the protein blots.
