Figure Lengend Snippet: In vitro interaction of NCR169C 17–38 , NCR169, NCR169 16–27 and NCR169 17–27 with nucleic acids. (A) Gel retardation assay of 100 ng E. coli genomic DNA incubated with 0, 10, or 100 µM peptide. (B) Same setup as in (A), but using 100 ng E. coli total RNA. (C) Interaction of NCR169C 17–38 with 250 ng circular plasmid DNA at varying concentrations. (D) Real-time monitoring of DNA binding by fluorescence of SYBR Gold–DNA complexes (excitation 490 nm, emission 535 nm). Peptides (10 µM) were added to 100 ng DNA at 0 or 14 min (red arrows); Proteinase K (1 mg/mL) was added at 27 min (black arrow).
Article Snippet: The trimmed samples were aligned to the E. coli ATCC_8739 genome database using STAR ( ) as described by ( ; supplementary Table 37).
