Figure Lengend Snippet: Overproduction and purification of σB. (Left panel) SDS-PAGE of protein extracts from E. coli BL21-Codonplus-(DE3)-RIL carrying either pET28-b or pMT01. (Right panel) Immunodetection of σB with anti-σB antiserum. Ten micrograms of protein was loaded for each sample. Lane 1, crude protein extract from E. coli carrying pET28-b; lane 2, crude protein extract from E. coli carrying pMT01; lane 3, crude protein extract from E. coli carrying pMT01 after induction with 1 mM IPTG for 2 h; lane 4, inclusion bodies isolated from E. coli carrying pMT01 after induction with 1 mM IPTG for 2 h; lane 5, representative fraction of purified σB after elution from an Ni2+ affinity column. The arrow indicates the position of the overproduced σB protein.
