Figure 8. Inhibitory effect of NlpE overexpression.

Figure 8

(A) A ClustalW2 alignment colored by Boxshade (ver. 3.21) between NlpEY.p (NCBI annotation YPK_1090) from Y. pseudotuberculosis YPIII and NlpEE.c (b0192) from E. coli K-12 strain MG1655. (B) Sampling and detection of invasin and RovA at stationary phase in LB broth at 26°C followed the procedure detailed in the legend to Figure 7. Additionally, NlpEE.c (derived from E. coli) or NlpEY.p (Y. pseudotuberculosis) over-production was controlled by the presence (+) or absence (−) of 0.2% (w/v) L-arabinose. The pBAD18 empty expression vector served as a control. The strains used were: parent with empty vector, YPIII/pIB102, pBAD18; parent with NlpEE.c, YPIII/pIB102, pND18; parent with NlpEY.p, YPIII/pIB102, pJF027; cpxR null mutant with empty vector, YPIII08/pIB102, pBAD18; cpxR null mutant with NlpEE.c, YPIII08/pIB102, pND18; cpxR null mutant with NlpEY.p, YPIII08/pIB102, pJF027. Molecular weights shown in parentheses are deduced from primary sequence.
