Mfa2 C54 and C285 are involved in Mfa1-Mfa2 interaction. Whole cell lysates were solubilized in SDS buffer (+2BME) or (−2BME), heated to 80 °C for 5 min, separated on SDS-PAGE, and blotted to a PVDF membrane. The samples were probed with an Mfa2 polyclonal antibody. Lanes: 1, JI-1 (positive control); 2, Δmfa1Δfim; 3, +mfa1; 4, +mfa1ΔC; 5, Δmfa2ΔfimA (negative control); 6, +mfa2; 7, +mfa2C54A; 8, +mfa2C285A.
