(A) ITC of RsmD interaction with small ligands. Shown are ITC profiles for SAM interactions with RsmD (c) and its mutants: PP129-129AA (d), D58A (e), and D58A/PP129-129AA (f), and of RsmD interactions with Sin (a) and SAH (b) at 25°C in the buffer 20 mM Hepes K pH 7.5, 5 mM Mg(OAc)2, 200 mM NH4OAc, 10% glycerol, 5 mM DTT. (B) Reverse transcription analysis of the total rRNA extracted from the knockout RsmD strain transformed with the plasmids coding for the following rsmD mutants: (1) PPF128-130AAS, (2) F130S, (3) PP128-129AA, (4) D58A, (5) D58A/PP128-129AA, (6) no mutation (control).
