Figure 1. FkpA prevents MalE31 aggregation. Cells expressing chromosomally encoded MalE-wt or MalE31, transformed by pTrc99 or pTfkp, were grown in rich medium at 37°C for 3 h, and then fractionated from spheroplasts. Periplasmic (soluble) and membrane (insoluble) fractions, corresponding to 5 x 10^9 cells, were analyzed on SDS-polyacrylamide (12.5%) gel stained by Coomassie blue. (Lane 1), Strain PD28 ( malE) carrying pTrc99. (Lane 2) Strain MC4100 (malE) carrying pTrc99. (Lane 3) Strain JMB5 (malE31) carrying pTrc99. (Lane 4) JMB5 cells carrying pTfkp.
