Characterization of protein affected by KS16. (A) Analysis of total cellular proteins from ATCC 25923 cells (1 × 109) treated with different concentrations of KS16. Total cellular proteins were resolved on 12% TGX stain-free gels and imaged. The ratio of A was calculated using Image Lab Software (Bio-Rad). One of the representative data from n = 3 was shown. (B) MALDI-TOF/MS spectrum of band A. Arrows indicate the peptide fragments obtained. (C) Identification of autolysin protein. Analysis of peptide fragments using Mascot and Swiss-Prot identified that peptides sequences are matching to autolysin protein derived from Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus CIGC341D. Amino acid sequences were taken from NCBIprot database (GenBank: EHT86028.1). Bold underlined sequences (29% coverage) represent peptides matched with autolysin. All images were processed in Adobe Illustrator CS6 (v16.0.0, Adobe Systems Inc., USA).
