Figure 1From: Sea urchin vault structure, composition, and differential localization during developmentThe molecular composition of the sea urchin vault.(A) SDS-PAGE analysis (4–16% acrylamide gradient gel) of isolated sea urchin (S) and rat (R) vaults. The band at ~100 kDa in both lanes represents the major vault protein (MVP). (B) SDS-PAGE analysis of sea urchin vaults both without (-) and with (+) RNase treatment. The 26.5 kDa band in the (-) RNase lane, which is missing in the (+) RNase lane, is thought to correspond to the sea urchin vRNA. Mr represents the molecular weight marker lane.Back to article page
