To test the interaction between SidHparis N-term and SidHparis C-term, analytical gel filtrations were performed using 10 µM of both of these proteins. The sample was incubated on ice for 30 min before being injected into a pre-equilibrated (100 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.5 mM TCEP) Superdex SD200 3.2/300 size exclusion column (GE Life Sciences). The fractions were loaded on SDS-PAGE to visualize the protein bands. The resulting chromatograms were plotted using GraphPad Prism.
10 µM of apo SidHparis N-term was incubated with 10 µM of in vitro transcribed tRNAPhe (a kind help from Eva Kowalinski Lab) and 10 µM of E. coli purified EF-Tu in the presence of 1 mM GTP (Merck) and 2.5 mM MgCl2 on ice for 30 min. The mix was loaded onto pre-equilibrated (100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 2.5 mM MgCl2) S200 3.2/300 size exclusion column.
