Oligomeric forms of CAPS are in dynamic equilibrium.
A, gel filtration of CAPS-Myc-His detected by Western blot of CN-PAGE. Input to the column is indicated. The column was calibrated by the elution of aldolase, ferritin, and thyroglobulin. 0.16–0.19 Kav fractions correspond to CAPS monomer. B, longer exposure of Western blot of 0.06–0.12 Kav fractions to detect oligomer. Gel analysis was conducted immediately after gel filtration. C, Western blot of 0.11 and 0.12 Kav fractions kept on ice for 24 h after gel filtration. Purified oligomer partially dissociated to monomer. Results shown are representative of two replicate studies.
