Translation recycles intracellular Pi from ATP, preventing a Pi starvation response. (A) Intracellular ATP levels of wild-type Salmonella (14028s) lacking or harboring either pUHE-ATPase (pATPase) or pUHE-21 (pVector). (B) mRNA amounts of the phoB, pstS, and thrS genes produced by wild-type Salmonella (14028s) lacking or harboring either pATPase or pVector. (C) mRNA amounts of the pstS and thrS genes produced by wild-type (14028s) and phoB (EG9054) Salmonella. For AC, cells were grown in MOPS containing 10 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM K2HPO4 for 2 h followed by 30 min of treatment with 1 mM IPTG (when harboring pATPase or pVector) followed by 30 min of treatment with 25 µg/mL chloramphenicol. mRNA amounts were normalized to those of the ompA gene. (D) Western blot analysis of extracts prepared from wild-type (14028s) and phoB-HA (MP1429) Salmonella and phoB-HA (MP1429) Salmonella harboring either pATPase or pVector following separation on Phos-tag SDS-PAGE to detect PhoB-HA and PhoB-HA-P. Cells were grown in MOPS containing 10 mM MgCl2 and 200 µM K2HPO4 for 2 h and treated for 35 min with 1 mM IPTG followed by chloramphenicol as in AC. Error bars represent the standard deviations. Graphs are representative of at least three independent experiments with a total of at least six biological replicates. See also Supplemental Figures S3 and S4.
