Figure 6. Overproduction of GroEL/S rescues the solubility defects of some MBP fusion proteins.

Figure 6

Expression and solubility of wild type MBP (MBPwt) and mutant MBP (I329W) fusion proteins are shown in the figure. The co-expression of GroEL/S along with mutant MBP fusions rescues the solubility (right most pair of lanes). The passenger proteins were GFP (top), E6 (middle) and p16 (bottom). A Western blot using anti-His6 tag antibody is shown to the right since the fusion proteins and GroEL co-migrates in the case of E6 and p16 (MBP fusion proteins carry a His6 tag at the N-terminus); loading is similar to the respective gels on the left.
