Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of the yciGFE locus in E. coli K-12 strains. A, SELDI-TOF-MS profiles of E. coli MG1655 and its mutant derivatives using the Q10 ProteinChip array. Clear lysates from MG1655 (WT) and its mutants MG655hns, MG1655hnsyciE, and MG1655hnsyciF were applied to the surface of a Q10 ProteinChip as described in the Experimental Procedures section. The captured proteins were detected using surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Normalized mass (m/z) for each peak (in Daltons (Da)) is demonstrated on the x-axis, whereas intensity (μA) is plotted on the y-axis. A laser energy of 3200 nJ was used. The relevant portion of the spectra is shown. The arrows indicate the YciE and YciF proteins. B, Expression of the yciE-lacZ fusion in the E. coli strains indicated was determined in overnight LB cultures at 37 °C. Lanes 1 to 5: (1) MC4100 yciE-lacZ, (2) MC4100hns yciE-lacZ, (3) MC4100mcbR yciE-lacZ, (4) MC4100hnsmcbR yciE-lacZ, (5) MC4100hnsrpoS yciE-lacZ. Lanes 6 to 15: MC4100 yciE-lacZ harboring pCABg (6), pmcbRHIS (7), pQE30 (12), and pyncCHIS (13); MC4100hns yciE-lacZ harboring pCABg (8), pmcbRHIS (9), pQE30 (14), and pyncCHIS (15); and MC4100hnsmcbR yciE-lacZ harboring pCABg (10), and pmcbRHIS (11).
Article Snippet: A strong anion exchange ProteinChip array (Q10, Bio-Rad), for which the complementary resin Q Ceramic HYPERD F (BioSepra-Pall, Cergy St Christophe, France) can be used for protein purification, was employed to capture negatively charged proteins.
