FIGURE 6

Translational regulation of prtR by the PNPase. (A) Structures of the 6 × His-tagged prtR fusions. PBAD-43-prtR-His and PBAD-15-prtR-His represent 6 × His-tagged prtR driven by the PBAD promoter with 43 and 15 bp of the 5′-UTR sequence of the prtR gene, respectively. The prtR open reading frame was replaced by a gfp gene, resulting in PBAD-43-gfp and PBAD-15-gfp. The potential ribosome binding site (RBS) was shown in bold underlined letters. Strains containing the prtR-His or gfp expression plasmid were grown to an OD600 of 1.0 and then induced with 0.2% arabinose for 1.5 h. Protein levels of PrtR (B,C) and GFP (D,E) were determined by Western blotting. RpoA was used as the loading control.
