Figure 7. MicA and GcvB repress phoP translation through inhibition of ribosome binding.

Figure 7

Toeprinting experiments were performed in presence of MicA and MicAmut (panel A) or GcvB, GcvBmutR1 and GcvBmutR3 (panel B) sRNAs. The relative amount between sRNAs and phoP mRNA are given above the gel. The full-length cDNA as well as the arrest of reverse-transcription induced by ribosome binding (+16 toeprint) are indicated by arrows. The pauses in RT induced by MicA binding to phoP mRNA are indicated by “MicA RT-stops”. Positions of the SD sequence and AUG start codon of phoP are shown on the sequencing lanes.
