Figure Legend Snippet: Unique Aat amino acid sequences were detected using PSI-BLAST. These sequences were used to identify the strains that encoded them in the NCBI identical protein groups. As the aat genes were present on contigs of whole genome sequencing projects, it was not possible to assess if a strain encoded a gene on the chromosome or plasmid. Instead, contigs were used to identify the complete Aat system. This analysis does not include strains that might encode the aat genes or aap / cexE on a separate genomic element. However, a total of 827 complete Aat systems were identified in the same nucleotide accession. The positions of these genes were used to assess the organisation of the aat operon. From this assessment five different classes of aat operon organisation were defined. Figure 1—source data 1. aatA gene positions. Figure 1—source data 2. aatB gene positions.

Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) Culture supernatant of ETEC H10407 and aat mutants harbouring pCfaD grown in lysogeny broth (LB) supplemented with L-arabinose. Cells were removed from the culture supernatant and remaining protein precipitated with trichloroacetic acid. Protein samples were separated by Tris-tricine SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie or transferred to nitrocellulose for western blotting with polyclonal antibodies against CexE. ( B ) Whole-cell lysates of the aat mutants and parental strain separated by Tris-tricine SDS-PAGE. ( C ) Whole-cell lysates of ETEC H10407 grown in LB with or without azide. ( D ) Whole-cell lysates of EAEC 042, aap , aatD, and aatD complemented strains grown in DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) high glucose. The positions of uCexE, mCexE, uAap, mAap, and preCexE are indicated as appropriate. CexE and Aap were detected by western blotting (α-CexE and α-Aap, respectively) and RNA polymerase (α-RNAP) was included as a loading control where appropriate. Figure 2—source data 1.

Figure Legend Snippet: His-tagged CexE was isolated from cexE or cexE aatD double mutants harbouring pACYC- cexE -6His grown in the presence or absence of 17-ODYA and separated by SDS-PAGE. An azide linked Alexa Fluor 488 was conjugated to the alkyne moiety present in 17-ODYA by CuAAC. The incorporation of 17-ODYA into the target protein was detected by fluorescence (green bands) and the image was overlaid on the image of the SDS-PAGE gel. A known lipoprotein YraP was used as a positive control.

Figure Legend Snippet: EAEC 042 and ETEC H10407 were grown in DMEM-high glucose (HG) or IMDM, respectively. After 2 hr of growth, 17-ODYA or an equal volume of DMSO was added. Cultures were grown for a further 3 hr. Triton X-100 was added to each culture to a final concentration of 0.1% for a final hour of growth. The culture supernatant was separated by centrifugation and filtered prior to TCA precipitation. Precipitated proteins were resuspended in 2% SDS. The incorporation of 17-ODYA into Aap and CexE was detected by CuAAC.
Techniques Used: Concentration Assay, Centrifugation, TCA Precipitation
