Ectopic expression of the Rbp and chaperone is sufficient to retarget R-type syringacins. The results of overlays of six different strains and five different PEG-selected supernatants are shown. Overlay strains are shown on the y axis, whereas supernatants are shown on the x axis. Three strains are sensitive to killing by R-type syringacins produced by PsyB728a and not Pja (Psy301D, Pan, USA007), while three strains are sensitive to R-type syringacins produced by Pja and not PsyB728a (PtoDC3000, USA011, Por1_6). Killing activity is abolished in a mutant of PsyB728a where both the receptor-binding protein (Rbp) and chaperone from the R-type syringacin has been deleted, and this mutant can be complemented by the expression of both these genes ectopically from a plasmid. Ectopic expression of the Rbp and chaperone from Pja in this PsyB728a ΔRbp/chaperone background retargets this strain so that the killing spectrum matches that of Pja
