Fig. 5From: Heterologous overexpression, purification and functional analysis of plant cellulose synthase from green bambooSize-exclusion profile of BoCesA5 protein during secondary purification. After protease treatment, the protein mixture containing BoCesA5, MBP, and TEV protease was injected into a size-exclusion column (Superdex-200) to isolate BoCesA5 according to molecular weight. The SDS-PAGE results corresponded to the size-exclusion profile through fractions 8–16. The main peak, fraction 8–12, was BoCesA5 protein to be recovered.
