Overexpression of the proteins in M. smegmatis confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis. Lanes: M, marker; 1, vector; 2, Rv0155 (PntAA, 40 kDa); 3, Rv1484 (InhA, 29.5 kDa); 4, Rv2763c (DfrA, 17.4 kDa); 5, Rv1996 (34.9 kDa); 6, Rv2623 (32.7 kDa); 7, Rv2766c (FabG5, 30.8 kDa); 8, Rv2858 (AldC, 50 kDa); 9, uninduced Rv2763c (DfrA); 10, induced Rv2763c (DfrA).
- FIG. 2.
Growth of the wild-type M. smegmatis strain and transformed strains overexpressing DHFR or InhA on media containing the known DHFR inhibitor trimethoprim (50 or 150 μg/ml) or INH (10 or 120 μg/ml).
- FIG. 3.
Growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv strains overexpressing DHFR or InhA on media containing INH (0.2 μg/ml) or kanamycin (100 μg/ml). Spots: A, pMV261::inhA (InhA overexpresser); B, pMV261 (plasmid only); C to F, four independent transformants of pMV261::dfrA (DHFR overexpresser).
