Characterization of the CbiA-plasminogen interaction. To determine the effect of the lysine analog tranexamic acid or increasing ionic strength on the CbiA-plasminogen interaction, CbiA, BBA70 (positive control), and DbpA (negative control) (5 μg/ml each) were immobilized and incubated with plasminogen in the presence of increasing concentrations of tranexamic acid (A,B) or NaBr (C,D). Bound plasminogen was detected using a polyclonal antibody (1:1,000) and binding of plasminogen to CbiA and BBA70 in the absence of tranexamic acid or NaBr was set to 100%. Data represent means and standard deviation of at least three independent experiments, each conducted in triplicate. ****p ≤ 0.0001, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Bonferroni multiple comparison test.
