Plasmid mediated expression of exsA restored T3SS in the ΔnrtR mutant. (A) The relative exsA mRNA levels in PAK, the ΔnrtR mutant and ΔnrtR/att7:: nrtR strain. Total RNA was isolated under T3SS inducing and non-inducing conditions and the exsA mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR using rpsL as the internal control. P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, by Student’s t-test. (B) Bacteria harboring an exsA-Flag driven by a lac promoter or the empty vector pDN19 were grown to an OD600 of 1.0 in LB with or without EGTA. Proteins from equivalent number of bacterial cells of indicated strains were separated on SDS-PAGE and probed with an anti-ExoS antibody or an anti-RNA polymerase beta subunit antibody. Expression levels of the ExsA-Flag were determined with an anti-FLAG antibody (C).
