Figure 3.
FIG. 3. Analysis of lack of chloramphenicol sensitivity of AfaE-III. a, backbone representations of the x-ray structures of DraE (cyan) and AfaE-III (green) monomers as in Fig. 1b. The -carbon positions of the three amino acids that are altered between these different strains are highlighted as numbered space filling balls. The chloramphenicol bound to the DraE is shown in a ball-and-stick representation and labeled Cm. b, analogous view of AfaE-III to that shown of DraE in Fig. 2a. The residues that differ between these adhesins are colored red. The side chain of Met-88 is seen to lie across the Cm-binding pocket. c, Cm sensitivity of CD55 binding assayed by surface plasmon resonance (see "Experimental Procedures"). Shown is CD55 (1 µM) binding to AfaE-III and DraE in the absence (-) and presence (+) of Cm (2.8 mM). Values presented are the mean and associated errors derived from three (DraE) and six (AfaE-III) repeated measurements.
