Figure 6. Inactivation of the carbamoyl-P biosynthesis pathway does not affect Rrp2 activation.

Figure 6

(A) Diagram of the arginine fermentation pathway in B. burgdorferi. The arcA (bb0841) and arcB (bb0842) genes are predicted to encode arginine deaminase and ornithine carbamoyltransferase, respectively. (B) Immunoblot analysis of whole cell lysates of wild-type (wt), the rrp2 mutant [rrp2(G239C)], and the arcA mutant (arcA) with a mixture of antibodies against OspC and FlaB. Spirochetes were cultured at 35°C and harvested at late logarithmic growth. The bands corresponding to FlaB and OspC are indicated on the right.
