FIG. 4.
Accessibility of the sulfhydryl group of cysteine in the SlpA mutant proteins modified. Monomeric proteins in solution modified with PEG-maleimide for the 5-min reaction (A) and AlexaFluor488-maleimide for the 30-s reaction (B). (C) Proteins assembled on cell wall fragments modified with PEG-maleimide (5-min reaction). Bars indicate the proportion of modified protein from total protein (A and C) or the intensity of the fluorescence marker signal compared with the highest signal observed (B).
