Figure Lengend Snippet: YohP causes membrane damage (A) E. coli cells were grown on LB medium up to an OD of 1.3, and 2 × 10 8 cells were processed as in and the membrane was decorated with the indicated polyclonal antibodies, or, in the case of YohP, with monoclonal α-His antibodies. YohP production was induced with 1 mM IPTG at OD 600 = 0.4. Representative blots of three independent experiments are shown. (B) Lipidomic analyses of isolated inner membrane vesicles (INVs) derived from the indicated strains. The extraction, analysis, and quantification were performed by Lipotype GmbH, Dresden, Germany, as described in STAR Methods. Shown are the percentage of the main E. coli lipids (PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PG, phosphatidylglycerol; and CL, cardiolipin). The individual values are indicated by dots, the mean values by the columns, and the SD by the error bars ( n = 3). (C) Membrane order in INVs of the indicated strains (1 mg protein/ml) was monitored in terms of the limiting fluorescence anisotropy of the probe 1.6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH), i.e., the value approached by the anisotropy decay for infinite time after excitation. Shown are scatterplots of four independent experiments, with the mean value indicated by the column and the SD by the error bar. To determine the significance of the results, the P-value was calculated using the “unpaired, two-tailed t test” of the program Graph Pad PRISM 6 or the one-way ANOVA analyses and Turkey honest significance test using the values in the wild-type strain as reference. The P-values are depicted as asterisks (∗) above the graphs as follows: n.s. = p > 0.05; ∗ = p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗ = p ≤ 0.01. See also .
