Catalog Antibody> | AcpA-FLAG and AcpB-FLAG were detected by Western blotting using α-FLAG antibody (Genscript).Sample volumes for SDS-PAGE were normalized by OD600 readings at sample collection and loaded on 12.5% poly-acrylamide gels. Samples were separated by PAGE and transferred to an Immobilon-P membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and subsequently blotted with α-FLAG antibody (Genscript, Piscataway, NJ, USA) | Get A Quote |
Bacillus anthracis produces three regulators, AtxA, AcpA and AcpB, which control virulence gene transcription and belong to an emerging class of regulators termed 'PCVRs' (Phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase regulation Domain-Containing Virulence Regulators). AtxA, named for its control of toxin gene expression, is the master virulence regulator and archetype PCVR. AcpA and AcpB are less well studied. Reports of PCVR activity suggest overlapping function. AcpA and AcpB independently positively control transcription of the capsule biosynthetic operon capBCADE, and culture conditions that enhance AtxA level or activity result in capBCADE transcription in strains lacking acpA and acpB.
