Purified IbpAB–luciferase assemblies (100 nM) were incubated for 60 min with buffer or DnaK (10 μM) or DnaK V436F (10 μM) and subjected to glycerol gradient sedimentation as in Fig
4B, but instead of showing the entire gradients, the fractions corresponding to the released material (1–3) were pooled together and IbpA was visualized by Western blot following SDS–PAGE.
