The ACT domain is required for the interaction between SpoT and EIIANtr∼P in a bacterial two-hybrid assay. (A) Domain organisation of C. crescentus SpoT with the catalytic domains, HD and SD, located at the N-terminal extremity and the regulatory domains, TGS and ACT, located at the C-terminal end. The SpoT variants used in the BTH assay (SpoTΔ668–719 and ACT506–742) are also represented. (B) SpoT and ACT506–742, but not SpoTΔ668–719, directly interact with EIIANtr∼P. β-galactosidase assays were performed on MG1655 cyaA::frt (RH785) strains coexpressing T18- fused to ptsN, spoT, spoTΔ668–719 or ACT506–742 with T25- fused to ptsN, spoT or spoTΔ668–719. Error bars = SD, n = 3.
