Localization, stability, and protein-protein interaction of Alg44 variants. (A) Schematic view of the deleted or point-mutated region of Alg44. (B) Immunoblots of the envelope fraction developed using anti-Alg44 (upper) and anti-His tag (lower) antibodies showed with the various Alg44 variants localized to the envelope fraction (immunoblot B, lanes 1 to 3). Lanes 4 to 7 represent negative and positives controls (blot C, lanes 1 to 4). Immunoblots suggested protein-protein interaction of Alg44 variants with Alg8, AlgK, and AlgX by using pulldown experiments using His-tagged variants of Alg44. C-terminal deletion of Alg44 had a destabilizing effect on Alg8. Immunoblots were developed using anti-Alg8 (1), anti-AlgK (2), and anti-AlgX (3) antibodies, respectively. Asterisks indicate full-length Alg44. 300, PDO300; MCS5, pBBR1MCS-5; ab, antibody; Co+/−, positive/negative control.
