PAGE and zymogram analysis of purified AcmC-His, AcmD-His, and YjgB-His. Electrophoresis was done in the presence (AcmC-His and AcmD-His) or absence (YjgB-His) of SDS. Lanes 1, 4, and 6, Coomassie blue staining; lanes 2, 5, and 7, gel containing 0.2% (wt/vol) M. lysodeikticus cells; lane 3, gel containing 0.4% (wt/vol) L. lactis cells. Renaturation and activity detection were performed at pH 4.0 (citrate phosphate buffer) or at pH 6.0 (50 mM MES buffer) with 1% (vol/vol) Triton X-100. The apparent molecular masses are indicated in kilodaltons.
