YchF counteracts the anti-associative effect of IF3 overexpression. (A) Wild-type and ΔychF cells were co-transformed with plasmids pQE30infC and pREP4. After induction of infC expression, cells were harvested, lysed; and the supernatants after centrifugation were analyzed by immune-detection using α-His antibodies against His-tagged IF3 and α-YchF antibodies. (B) The supernatants of the cells in panel (A) were subjected to sucrose-gradient density centrifugation and ribosomal fractions were monitored photometrically at 256 nm. Representative traces of at least two independent experiments are shown. (C) Quantification of the ribosomal fractions of wild-type and ΔychF strains expressing pQE30infC as shown in panel (B) (n = 2). The area below the curves was quantified using ImageJ and set to 100%. Areas corresponding to the 30 S, 50 S, and 70 S populations were extrapolated to the baseline, individually quantified and their relative abundance is shown.
