Pseudoperiplasmic Localization of FlaF

(A) Dot far-western blot analysis of His6-tagged sFlaF. Surface layer proteins (S-layer) isolated from S. acidocaldarius MW001 (WT), Δagl16, and Δagl3 strains were spotted on to an activated PVDF membrane and incubated with either sFlaF or with buffer. Binding of sFlaF with the S-layer was visualized using α-His antibodies. No specific signal was detected in the negative control. The panel on the right shows the N-glycan tree (Meyer and Albers, 2013) of the different strains. Inline graphic, N-acetyl glucosamine; Inline graphic, sulfoquinovose; ○, glucose; ●, mannose.

(B) Sedimentations assays were performed to analyze the interaction of sFlaF and the S-layer. FlaI was used as a negative control of the sedimentation assay. On the left, FlaI or FlaF were incubated alone. S and P indicate supernatant and pellet, respectively. In the two right lanes, FlaI and FlaF were incubated with the S-layer. Whereas FlaI shows no interaction with the S-layer, 50% of the FlaF was bound to the S-layer protein.
