To purify this protein from cell lysate, we used the New England Biolabs Chitin Magnetic Beads protein purification kit, which isolates proteins that bind to chitin-coated magnetic beads. The following gel image shows that PdomMRNAr1.2-08705.1 (nicknamed C2) was successfully purified with the chitin magnetic beads, suggesting that it exhibits chitin-binding activity. Pending cellulose-binding and waterproofing assays, C2 is a candidate for waterproofing both fungal mycelium and bacterial cellulose.
