Figure 4. Estimation of Molecular WeightThe apparent molecular weight of each indicated complex was analyzed with a HiLoad 26/60 Superdex 75 column. The proteins were eluted at a rate of 1.5 ml/min with 30 mM TrisHCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 100 mM NaCl and 3 mM dithiothreitol. For clarity, the elution profiles for only CAD:ICAD and CAD are shown. The size marker proteins were the TRAIL:DR5 complex (99 kDa), albumin (66 kDa), ovalbumin (45 kDa), chymotrypsinogen (25 kDa), and ribonuclease A (14 kDa). The calculated molecular weights of CAD, ICAD-L, ICAD-S, I1, I1-I2, and I2-I3 that we generated are 37.53, 34.42, 28.77, 12.87, 24.76, and 21.56 kDa, respectively.
