There is an error in Fig 1C. Lanes shown formed part of a larger gel, which is included in this Correction as S1 Fig.
(A) SDS/PAGE analysis of phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs), lipomannan (LM) and LAM prepared from wild-type (H37Rv), lprG mutant (ΔlprG), and ΔlprG complemented with lprG-Rv1410c (::lprG). LM and LAM extracted from equal amounts of bacterial cells were separated on a 10–20% Tricine gel and visualized by periodic acid/Schiff reagent staining. (B) Thin-layer chromatograms of total lipids extracted from H37Rv and ΔlprG. The same amounts of total lipids extract from bacilli grown in GAS medium were loaded for each strain. Thin-layer chromatogram plates were run in the solvent system CHCl3/CH3OH/H2O (65:25:4, by vol.) and revealed with α-naphthol. SL, sulfolipid; TMM, trehalose monomycolates; DAT, diacyltrehaloses; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; CL, cardiolipin; PIM2, phosphatidylinositol dimannoside; PI, phosphatidylinositol; PIM6, phosphatidylinositol hexamannosides. (C) SDS/PAGE immunoblot for LAM analysis in H37Rv and ΔlprG cellular extracts. Extracts normalized to protein concentration were separated on a 15% SDS/PAGE gel and transferred to PVDF membrane. The blot was blocked, and then stained with anti-LAM pAb (α-LAM) followed by goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody. The blot was washed and imaged after adding 30% 3,3’-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride solution plus 0.0005% H2O2. LAM Std, purified H37Rv LAM standard. Lanes shown formed part of a larger gel. (D) Spot immunoblot for analysis of capsular α-glucan. Capsular content extracted from equal numbers of bacteria were spotted on PVDF membrane and stained with goat anti-phosphatidylinositol-glycans pAb followed by donkey anti-goat IgG-HRP secondary antibody. The membrane was developed and imaged as described in C. Dilutions of extract spotted on membrane are shown. Data is representative of two independent experiments.
The corrected version of Fig 1 can be seen here.
