Design and purification of the Ag85b (a), Sbi III-IV-Ag85b (b) and Sbi III-IV (c) constructs. Schematic representations of the constructs are shown on the left and SDS-PAGE profiles of the nickel affinity, ion exchange and size exclusion chromatography elution fractions are shown in the right panels. All three constructs bear an N-terminal 6x His-tag and the numbering of Ag85b and Sbi III-IV amino acid residues is according to their respective full-length proteins. The Sbi III-IV-Ag85b conjugate contains Sbi domains III and IV conjugated via a 28 amino acid histidine and glycine-rich linker to Ag85b at the C-terminus. Note: the yield of Ag85b shown is from 1 L of culture while the yield from Sbi III-IV-Ag85b and Sbi III-IV is from 4 L of culture. Details of the protein physiochemical properties can be found in Supplementary Table S1. Supplementary Fig. S1 includes purification chromatogram profiles. Full-length gel images of (ac) are included in Supplementary Figs S11S13.
