Fig. 1: Purification and biochemical characterization of DosP.

a Domain organization of DosP over its linear amino acid sequence. b Schematic for the MBP-DosP expression construct. TEV protease recognition sequence is shown under brackets. Cleavage site marked by arrow and resulting N-terminal methionine corresponds to DosP M1. c Coomassie-stained 4-15% SDS-PAGE analysis of purified DosP from the indicated steps. Migration positions of the proteins are indicated with arrows. Molecular weight standards are labeled. d SEC purification of free DosP, MBP, and TEV protease following proteolysis of MBP-DosP using a 10/300 Superose 6 gel filtration column as described in Methods. e Absorption spectra of DosPWT under aerobic conditions (red), compared to anaerobic conditions (blue). f Absorption spectra of DosPR97A under aerobic conditions (red), compared to anaerobic DosPR97A (blue). g Turnover of 2 µM c-di-GMP at 25 °C by 10 nM protein: aerobic DosPWT (open red triangles), anaerobic DosPWT (open blue squares), aerobic DosPR97A (filled red triangles), and anaerobic DosPR97A (filled blue squares). Black line indicates time regime used to determine kcat. Each data point represents a measurement from an independent experiment (n = 2). The assay buffer was 20 mM Tris-HCl, 2.5 mM MgCl2, 2.0 mM DTT, pH 8.0. h kcat values determined from g. Values are the averages of Kcat measurements from two independent experiments. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
