In vivo repressor activities of PerRBL, FurBL, and ZurBL (A) Repressor activities of PerRBS and PerRBL for PmrgA-lacZ reporter fusion. B. subtilis cells expressing no PerR orthologue (LB1532), PerRBS-FLAG (HB9738), or PerRBL-FLAG (LB1023) were treated without or with 100 μM H2O2 for 30 min, and β-galactosidase activities were measured using PmrgA-lacZ reporter fusion. (B) Repressor activities of FurBS and FurBL for PfeuA-lacZ reporter fusion. B. subtilis cells expressing no Fur orthologue (LB1040), FurBS-FLAG (LB1041), or FurBL-FLAG (LB1042) were treated without or with 100 μM H2O2 for 30 min, and β-galactosidase activities were measured using PfeuA-lacZ reporter fusion. (C) Repressor activities of ZurBS and ZurBL for PyciC-lacZ reporter fusion. B. subtilis cells expressing no Zur orthologue (LB1034), ZurBS-FLAG (LB1035), or ZurBL-FLAG (LB1036) were treated without or with 100 μM H2O2 for 30 min, and β-galactosidase activities were measured using PyciC-lacZ reporter fusion. (D-F) Western blot analyses of FLAG-fused PerR orthologues (D), Fur orthologues (E), and Zur orthologues (F). The FLAG-fused proteins were probed by anti-FLAG antibody. (G) Fe-dependent repressor activities of FurBS and FurBL for PfeuA-lacZ reporter fusion. B. subtilis cells expressing no Fur orthologue (LB1040), FurBS-FLAG (LB1041), or FurBL-FLAG (LB1042) were grown in MLMM supplemented with or without 10 μM FeSO4, and β-galactosidase activities were measured using PfeuA-lacZ reporter fusion. (H) Zn-dependent repressor activities of ZurBS and ZurBL for PyciC-lacZ reporter fusion. B. subtilis cells expressing no Zur orthologue (LB1034), ZurBS-FLAG (LB1035), or ZurBL-FLAG (LB1036) were grown in MLMM supplemented with or without 10 μM ZnCl2, and β-galactosidase activities were measured using PyciC-lacZ reporter fusion.
