Analysis of the expression of Hbp by Hbp-mutants. The mutants mHbp18 and mHbp1 were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis experiments with the suicide vectors pSG-Hbp2.2 and pSG-Hbp4.8, respectively. See Materials and Methods for a detailed description of the construction of these suicide vectors. Culture supernatant fractions and total lysate fractions were derived from 4.0 and 0.5 OD660 units, respectively. The fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting with the anti-Hbp antiserum. (A) Expression of Hbp by mHbp18. Lanes 1 and 4, lysate and supernatant of the wild-type strain EB1; lanes 2 and 3, lysate and supernatant of mHbp18. (B) Expression of Hbp by mHbp1. Lanes 1 and 4, same samples as in A; lanes 2 and 3, lysate and supernatant of mHbp1. The secretory intermediates of Hbp and molecular mass markers (kD) are indicated at the right and left side of the panels, respectively. A schematic representation of the recombination events of the suicide vectors is depicted at the right side of this figure. Mutant mHbp18 was the result of a double crossover and mutant mHbp1 of a single crossover event. Symbols in this diagram are: M, MluI restriction site; P, promoter; km, kanamycin cassette.
