Figure 2. PGRPs inhibit protein (a), RNA (b), and DNA (c) synthesis.
(a) Incorporation 35S-methionine and 35S-cysteine into cellular proteins, (b) 3H-uridine into RNA, and (c) 3H-thymidine into DNA in S. aureus treated with PGRPs, magainin, lysostaphin, antibiotics, or BSA (control) added at 10 min is shown; 0.5 M sucrose was used to prevent osmotic lysis; means ± SEM of 3–4 experiments.
