Inducible expression cassettes generate a dose dependent response in NanoLuc activity in B. theta. (a) Schematic of wild-type regulation by PUL48. PDX is activated by the SusR-like protein SusRDX in the presence of DX. (b) Schematic of wild-type AG regulation. PAG from PUL5 is activated by the HTCS protein HTCSAG in response to the presence of AG. Schematic representations of monomeric glucose (GLC; blue circle) the polymer dextran (DX) composed of a chain of GLC; and arabinogalactan (AG), composed of a galactose (GAL, yellow circle) backbone and arabinose side chains (green star). (c) NanoLuc activity under constitutive expression by the PON promoter is measured post induction with GLC (black bar), DX (blue bar), and AG(yellow bar). Luminescence signal for NanoLuc production under the (d) DX or (e) AG inducible promoters in the presence of increasing concentrations of DX or AG, respectively. Values in (d–f) represent the average and s.e.m. for three biological replicates. Asterisks represent levels of significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
