Source of immunoprecipitated KatA | Concn of KatA subunits (nM) | Concn of hemin (nM) | Hemin/KatA ratio | Source or reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
C. jejuni NCTC11168 | 7.4 | 6.99 ± 0.19 | 0.94 | 7 |
Δcj1386 strain | 7.4 | 0.19 ± 0.10* | 0.03 | 7 |
Δcj1386+cj1386WT strain | 7.4 | 6.41 ± 0.54 | 0.87 | 7 |
Δcj1386+cj1386Y57A strain | 7.4 | 0.29 ± 0.18* | 0.04 | This study |
The amount of hemin is represented as the mean concentration of hemin detected ± standard errors (in nM) for equal starting concentrations of KatA protein for each strain tested. Experiments were repeated in biological triplicate. Student's t test was used to determine statistical significance, with P values of <0.05 (*) considered significant.
