Two-Component Signal Transduction System SaeRS Positively Regulates Staphylococcus epidermidis Glucose Metabolism
Figure 1
Identified spots on the 2D proteome map of SAE and WT. SAE and WT were grown in TSB medium at 37°C until the postexponential growth phase; the bacteria were then separated by centrifugation. Bacteria cell pellets were dissolved in lysis buffer and sonicated on ice. The 2-DE gels were performed using 24 cm immobilized dry strips (IPG, nonlinear, pH 4–7, GE Healthcare) and analyzed by ImageMaster 2D platinum 6.0 software (Amersham Biosciences). Differentially expressed protein spots on 2-DE gels were identified by MS/MS analysis and shown in gels with unique protein spot numbers. Protein spots were identified using a 4700 MALDI-TOF/TOF Proteomics Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, California, USA).
