Figure 3. Examination of PilA expression and T4P assembly.

Figure 3

To examine PilA expression, whole cell lysates (WCL) were prepared from 5 × 107 cells. For the examination of T4P assembly, the fraction of surface pili (Surface) were prepared from 5 × 108 cells as described in Methods. Samples were analyzed by immunoblot analysis using anti-PilA antibodies. The first lane contained molecular weight standard (MW) with the weight in KD indicated on the left. Strains analyzed were DK10407 (ΔpilA), DK10416 (ΔpilB), YZ603 (ΔdifE) and YZ1830 (ΔepsW). See Methods for more details.
