RarA interactions with components of the replication machinery. (A) Percentage of cells that contains RarA-YFP foci in thermosensitive replication mutants compared to wild type cells in epifluorescence microscopy, during exponential growth at 25 °C (OD600 = ~0.3) and after addition of MMC (50 ng /ml) for 60 min or swift to non-permissive conditions (42 °C). Error bars shows standard deviation of at least three independent experiments; (B) Weight of different DnaX-CFP and RarA-YFP colocalization patterns after addition of H2O2 (1 mM) or MMC (50 ng/ml) for 60 min compared to the control without drug. The percentage of not-merged foci is split at the right of the panel into two different localization patterns: near and far. (C) Examples of the colocalization of DnaX-CFP and RarA-YFP (up) and non-colocalizing patterns defined as near (medium) and far (down). (D) RarA-mVenus single-molecule DPD in thermosensitive mutants. Swift to non-permissive temperature (42 °C) leads to drastic changes in dynamics in absence of external DNA damage, and alters the normal response of RarA after addition of H2O2 or MMC.
