The α3-helix of KhpA is critical for self-dimerization and for EloR/KhpA complex formation. (A) Measurements of β-galactosidase production in BACTH assays testing the interaction between EloR and KhpA, KhpAI61F or KhpAI61Y in addition to EloRL239Y against KhpA (green bars). β-galactosidase production resulting from homodimerization of KhpA, KhpAI61F and KhpAI61Y is represented by orange bars, while negative and positive controls are shown in grey. (B) Immunoblot detection of 3xflag-EloR in strain RH425, SPH448, AW334 and AW336. A Crosslinked EloR/KhpA complex was observed in strain AW336 under non-reducing conditions, but not after reduction with β-mercaptoethanol (+BME). The image is cropped from the full-length immunoblot, which is shown in Fig. S3.
