Effect of TssA1B inactivation on T6SS secretion activity. Cell associated protein (CA) and spent supernatants (SN) from cultures of B. cenocepacia H111 (WT) and the isogenic tssA1B mutant (tssA::Tp), each with or without pBBR1MCS (VC) or pBBR1MCS-tssA1B (ptssA), were fractionated by SDS-PAGE, blotted onto PVDF membrane and probed with a Hcp pAb or a mAb specific for the RNAP β subunit (lysis control). Detection of bound antibodies was with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. The tssM mutant (ΔM) was included as a control as TssM has been shown to be an essential component of the B. cenocepacia T6SS31. Uncropped images of the blots are shown in Supplementary Fig. 5
