C. jejuni cells were disrupted by bead beating (Bead Ruptor 12, Omni International) at maximal intensity for 30 s and the crude cell extracts were used for SDS/PAGE. For Western blot analysis, proteins were electroblotted on to nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham Protran 0.45 μm NC, GE Healthcare) for 35 min at 15 V using the Transblot SD semi-dry transfer apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories). His-tagged protein was detected with His-tag monoclonal antibody (#70796-3, Novagen) and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG horseradish peroxidase (HRP) Conjugate (#71045-3, Novagen) via the associated peroxidase activity using either chloronaphthol or the SignalFire ECL Reagent kit (Cell Signaling Technology).

The resulting standard curve was used for size determination of respective elution peaks of StyI and StyJ. Peak fractions were collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.
Final concentrations of pure proteins were calculated from the respective absorptions at 280 nm, applying molar extinction coefficients of 42,860 M−1 cm−1 (StyI) and 48,150 M−1 cm−1 (StyJ) as well as molecular weights of 29,836.3 g mol−1 (StyI) and 30,095.6 g mol−1 (StyJ) as predicted by Expasy ProtParam (56 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
