Figure 5. The strain MC58 with a wild-type recB allele showed to be less sensitive to the UV254 radiation than the strains MC58-1 and MC58-2 with a defective recB allele. This is represented by the different survival rates shown on Fig. 5b.

Figure 2 shows the absorbance and luminescence of cultures of L. Casei with a luciferase gene transcriptionally fused to different genes under the control of separately regulated promoters. The level of expression of the ccpA gene leveled off to zero as the culture grew. Therefore, as the culture grows, the ccpA gene is less expressed due to a decrease in the need for its gene product.

Figure 5B showed all three mutant strains had reduced recombination efficiency of RecA

Figure 3 shows that the deletion of the ldh1 gene does not contribute to HicD activity

Figure 6 and Table 3. Both show that the dnaK mutants had a maximum growth rate lower than the wild type strain at various stresses (temperature, pH, etc.)

Fig. 5 shows significant homology of the LacC protein of S. mutans with that of PfkB from E. coli that has evidence of tagatose-6-phosphate kinase activity.

Ricin toxin binds to the ribosome thereby blocks protein synthesis and cause cell death (Apoptosis). Figure 1 shows a drastic decrease in cell viability with increasing concentration of Ricin.

In order for Ricin to intoxicate the host cell, its disulfide bridge has to be reduced. It has been shown that protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) has the ability to reduce the disulfide bond. However, reduction can still occur even when PDI is depleted, suggesting that other proteins are also responsible to reduce Ricin. Transmenbrane Thioredoxin related protein (TMX) has been found to reduce Ricin. Figure 2 shows that TMX is needed to reduce Ricin. In Lane 1 when TMX is added, Ricin is reduced (the RTA band), whereas in lane 3 with no TMX, Ricin is not reduced.
