From: CsrA and its regulators control the time-point of ColicinE2 release in Escherichia coli
Theoretical analysis emphasizes the importance of the sequestering of CsrA by ssDNA for toxin release in CWT. (A) Plasmids and ssDNA (grey loops) present in the SREPx, CREPx and CWT strains. (B,C) Theoretical analysis of the cea-cel delay for all strains emphasizes the importance of ssDNA for the timing of toxin release in the colicin-producing strains (CREPx and CWT). (B) no ssDNA present. (C) ssDNA present with αD = 7. The orange line indicates the mean experimental delay for the corresponding strain, the blue line the corresponding theoretical value. The red bar on the right depicts the fraction of cells not undergoing cell lysis in the theoretical model.
