The cleavage activities of MazF-mt3 and mutant in the presence of inhibiting peptides. (A,B) The inhibitory effects of peptides (corresponding to the α3 (Leu46-Gly59), α4 (Thr60-Trp82) and α3–α4 helices (Leu46-Trp82) of MazE-mt3) on the RNase activities of WT MazF-mt3 (A); and the MazF-mt3 (Δ16–22) mutant (B). The numbers above the lanes indicated the molar ratios of peptide/toxin/RNA. Left: the gel-electrophoresis of the cleavage assays; Right: the quantification of the enzymatic activities, with the vertical axis indicating the cleaved fractions of the substrate.
