Fig. 1. Binding of FliM peptide to CheY mutants. A and B, titration curves of wild-type CheY ( , circle ), CheY95IA ( , ), CheY95IM ( , ), and CheY95IV ( , ) in the presence and absence of PAM ( filled and open symbols, respectively). The relative decrease in fluorescence intensity upon sequential addition of FliM peptide is shown. The data were fit to a hyperbolic binding function. Note the different scales on the abscissas in A and B. The inset in A shows Eadie-Hofstee plots, which were used to determine dissociation constants (K[D]). The slope of a linear fit to the data yielded K[D]. C, calculated binding affinities. The values shown in the bar graph represent the reciprocal of the respective K[D] values normalized to the K[D] of wild-type CheY in the absence of phosphodonor. White bars denote the absence, and black bars denote the presence of PAM. Binding reactions for CheY13DK and CheY13DK106YW were carried out in the absence of PAM but displayed in black bars because both proteins presumably represent the activated conformation (37, 38).
