Plasmid borne nhaA expresses a mixture of NhaA monomers and unstable dimers in BKT12, a mutant strain that does not synthesize cardiolipin. TA16/pAXH3 cells expressing WT-NhaA and a mutant that does not synthesize cardiolipin (BKT12/pIQ, pAXH3) bearing pAXH3 and pIQ (a plasmidic combination needed for NhaA IPTG control expression) were grown on minimal medium to 0.8 OD600, IPTG-induced for 2 h. Then, high-pressure membranes were isolated, NiNTA affinity-purified proteins were isolated, and samples (6 µg protein/7.5 µL) were mixed with equal volumes of native gel sampling buffer, titrated to final pH 7, incubated in the indicated DDM concentrations for 10 min at 23 °C, and resolved on native gel. The experiment was conducted three times with identical results.
