aReaction mixtures with 1 µg [35S]SecA were incubated and treated as in Fig. 5.C. The membranes, liposomes and liposomes with N39 (20 µg/ml) and were recovered by centrifugation and re-suspended in 100 μl of TK buffer, 10 mg/ml heparin or 0.1 M Na2CO3 (pH 11) respectively. After incubation on ice for 30 min, the liposomes and membranes were recovered by centrifugation and were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. The quantities of remaining SecA fragments in liposomes and membranes were determined by Quantity One software, using these in TK buffer as 100%. All experiments were carried out for 3-5 times.
