Impact of given amino acid substitutions on the oligomeric state of CaiT in detergent solution. (a) BN-PAGE of wild-type and given CaiT variants. Respective genes were expressed in E. coli, and the proteins were purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography as described1. The resulting protein (5 µg per lane) was subjected to BN-PAGE following established protocols12,40. Proteins were separated using a 4–16.5% gradient gel. The HMW Native Marker Kit (Amersham Biosciences) was used for molecular weight estimation. (b) Gel filtration profile of wild-type and CaiT variants. Proteins (100 µg of each variant solubilized in 0.04% DDM) were analyzed individually with a Superdex 200 10/300 GL column (GE Healthcare). Protein was detected by absorbance measurement at 280 nm.
