A. Secreted thermonuclease activity in exponentially growing UAMS-1 cell culture supernatants was quantified using a FRET-based assay in strains producing varying amounts of residual CodY activity as described in Experimental Procedures. UAMS-1 (WT), SRB337; codY null mutant (None), SRB372; and the CodY variants R61K (SRB506), R61H (SRB508), R61E (SRB577) and G129D (SRB493). B. Secreted nuclease activity in a CodY-deficient strain relative to a SarA-deficient strain during exponential growth in TSB. nuc, UAMS-1471; UAMS-1, SRB337; codY, SRB372; sarA, UAMS-929. SarA has been shown previously to suppress Nuc enzyme levels (Kiedrowski et al., 2011) and was used as a positive control. Asterisks (*) denote statistical significance by Games-Howell pairwise test (p < 0.05) when compared to the codY null mutant. The data are presented as the mean ± the standard error of at least 2 independent experiments.
