SAF gene and cation efflux system gene expression are repressed in the presence of high glycine concentrations. (A) Relative expression of the SAF gene (Na+/Ala symp) and cation efflux system gene (cation efflux) in comparison to glycine riboswitch (ribogly) transcript abundance. GAS M49 strain 591 was grown 3 h in the presence of different glycine concentrations as indicated, n = 3. (B) The promoter region does not mediate glycine-dependent induction of luc2 expression. GAS M49 strain 591/ pFW11_promoterriboglyluc2 were grown 3 h in the presence of different glycine concentrations as indicated, n = 3. Relative expression Data are presented as mean values ± standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined using the Student’s t-test. Differences between samples were expressed as “ns”: not significant, P ≥ 0.05 and ∗∗∗∗P < 0.0001.
