Fig 3. Permeabilizing E. coli to exogenous calcium.

Fig 3

(A) Average ΔR/R ± SD of a FRET sensor (Twitch-1) expressed in XL1 cells pretreated with poly-L-lysine and ionomycin and subjected to different concentrations of extracellular solution calcium (n = 6 colonies per concentration). (B-C) FRET trace (± standard error of the mean, grey) and individual donor and acceptor traces (± standard error of the mean, grey) of colonies of E. coli XL1 transformed with TN-XXL. Arrows indicate when calcium was applied. (n100mM = 197 colonies, n1M = 222 colonies). (D-E) Representative ΔR/R values following calcium application (100 mM) of colonies pretreated with different concentrations of either poly-L-lysine (PL) or ionomycin (IM), while the concentration of the second substance was kept constant. Grey dashed lines represent signal changes after the application of poly-L-lysine or ionomycin, black lines represent additional signal change after the application of calcium, and dark lines indicate total signal changes.
