 C. TF solubilizes proOmpA*. proOmpA*1 (5 μM) was incubated (50 μl; Buffer C; < 0.2 M urea; 37°C; 60 min) alone or in the presence of TF. Proteins in the soluble fraction were analyzed on 15% SDS-PAGE and Coomassie-blue stained. Lane 2: 2.84 μg proOmpA*. Representative experiment shown; n= 5 biological replicates
