16. The partial hlscU gene was a generous gift from Dr. C-C. Liew (U. Toronto). Excluding a mitochondrial targeting sequence, the mature protein has a predicted N-terminal sequence YHKKYVDHYENDPR, where R is the first residue of the partial hlscU. The numbering for hlscU in this work assumes predicted N-terminal Tyr.
17. hlscu was cloned into peT-28b (Novagen) and expressed with an N-terminal 6xHis-tag. D37A hlscU as well as C35A-D37A, C61A-D37A, C96A-D37A, and C104A-D37A hlscUs were made using QuickChange Mutagenesis (Stratagene). All mutations were confirmed by sequencing.
18. Native hlscU was purified by Ni-NTA chromatography. D37A hlscU was purified by Ni-NTA, P-11, and Superose-12 chromatography.
