Figure 2. Secretion of Tir and translocation of NleL into HeLa cells.

Figure 2

(A) The expression and secretion levels of Tir in either the wild-type EHEC or the mutant EHEC expressing the chromosomal catalytically-dead mutant NleLC753A was examined by Western blot. (B) Intracellular cAMP levels are an indication of the translocation of CyaA fusion proteins in EHEC WT (ZP250) and EHEC TTSS deficient mutant (escF; ZP2251) strains. Cells were infected for 4 hrs, and the adenylate cyclase activity was determined. The data were from three independent experiments, with standard deviations shown as error bars. cAMP values are presented as pmol per milligram of total cellular protein. The expression levels of the NleL-CyaA fusions were found to be similar by Western blot as shown on the bottom panel.
