Figure 5. PTSNtr modulates (p)ppGpp accumulation.

Figure 5

(a) Schematic representation of the PTSNtr pathway in C. crescentus. (b) The PTSNtr components EINtr, HPr and EIIANtr control G1/swarmer lifetime. G1 proportion was measured in wild-type (WT; RH50), ΔspoT (RH1755), ΔptsP (RH1758), ptsPL83Q (RH1748), ΔptsH (RH1621), ΔptsN (RH1819), ptsNH66A (RH2019), ptsNH66E (RH2017), ptsPL83Q ptsNH66A (RH2018), ΔptsP ptsNH66E (RH2016) grown in complex media (PYE) and normalized to the WT (100%). Error bars=s.d.; n=3. (c,d) (p)ppGpp accumulation is modulated by PTSNtr. Intracellular levels of (p)ppGpp detected by TLC after nucleotides extraction of WT (RH50), ΔspoT (RH1755), ΔptsP (RH1758), ΔptsH (RH1621), ΔptsN (RH1819) and ptsNH66A (RH2019) grown (c) in +N or (d) −N conditions. Error bars=s.d.; n=3. Statistically significant differences by Student's t-test in comparison with the WT are indicated as *P<0.05% and **P<0.01% (n=3).
