Identification of an altered molecule in ΔkdhA mutant outer membrane. A and B, outer membrane fractions from wild-type LVS and ΔkdhA mutant bacteria were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by zinc stain (A) and by immunoblot using anti-LVS serum (B). C, identification of band d as lipid A plus core plus the first repeating unit of O-polysaccharide. LVS outer membranes were resolved by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with mAb 2033 monoclonal antibody. D, identification of band c as lipid A plus core oligosaccharide by negative-ion MALDI-TOF MS. The band c molecule was micropurified from wild-type outer membranes as described under “Experimental Procedures.” The purity of the band c molecule was monitored by SDS-PAGE followed by zinc stain. Band b was identified as lipid A using the same procedure (supplemental Fig. 2).
