Toxin expression and secretion in merodiploid strains (wild-type background). PTWT, BP338 with a second copy of wild-type PtlE (from pKC34); D53A, BP338 with a second copy of mutant PtlE from pAR287-2; E62A, BP338 with a second copy of mutant PtlE from pAR264-3; D53A+E62A, BP338 with a second copy of mutant PtlE from pAR264-4. Cell-associated (periplasmic) and secreted toxins were quantified by using the CHO cell activity assay. Periplasmic and secreted toxin levels were not significantly different for any of the strains tested.
