Figure 1From: Evolutionary conservation of dual Sec translocases in the cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxaWestern blotting with SecY antisera of cyanelle membranes separated on SDS gels. Preadsorption, detection with affinity purified antisera which underwent preadsorption to the heptadekapeptide; TM, thylakoid membranes; IEM, inner envelope membranes. (A) Western blotting of thylakoid membranes (30 μg protein) with unpurified vs. affinity purified cyanelle SecY antisera. Thylakoid membranes were treated with sample buffer at 37°C for 30 min (37), 60°C for 10 min (60), 100°C for 3 min (100). (B)Western blotting of cyanelle membranes separated on SDS gels with affinity purified anti-cyanelle SecY. TM1 (20 μg protein) and IEM (30 μg protein) were treated with sample buffer at 37°C for 30 min, TM2 (20 μg protein) was treated at 100°C for 3 min.Back to article page
