Fucose-mediated induction of mobM expression in pneumococcal cells. (A) Relevant features of plasmids pMV158, pMVT and pMVT-PfcsK: ssoU, lagging strand replication origin; oriT, origin of transfer; T1T2, tandem transcriptional terminators T1 and T2 of the Escherichia coli rrnB rRNA operon; Pmob, promoters of the mobM gene; PfcsK, promoter induced by fucose. (B) Western blot analysis using antibodies against MobM. Pneumococcal cells carrying plasmid were grown in media containing 0.3% sucrose and the indicated concentration of fucose. Total proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide (12%) gel electrophoresis. Pre-stained proteins (Invitrogen) were run in the same gel as molecular weight markers (not shown). Purified MobM (400 ng) was run in the same gel.
