Regulation of <i>STM2209-STM2208</i> by Dam methylation.

<p><b>A.</b> Levels of <i>STM2209</i> and <i>STM2208</i> mRNAs, measured by qRT-PCR (Dam⁺: white histograms; Dam⁻: black histograms). Level of <i>STM2209</i> mRNA in Dam⁻ background is considered 100%. Values are averages and standard deviations from 7 independent experiments. <b>B.</b> ß-galactosidase activity of transcriptional <i>STM2209::lac</i> and <i>STM2208::lac</i> fusions in Dam⁺ and Dam⁻ backgrounds (white and black histograms, respectively). Values are averages and standard deviations from 3 independent experiments. <b>C.</b> ß-galactosidase activities of translational <i>STM2209::lac</i> and <i>STM2208::lac</i> fusions in Dam⁺ and Dam⁻ backgrounds (white and black histograms, respectively). Values are averages and standard deviations from 3 independent experiments. <b>D.</b> Western blot analysis of STM2209-3xFLAG and STM2208-3xFLAG proteins in Dam⁺ and Dam⁻ backgrounds.
