Inhibition of the biosynthesis of other TOMMs by nelfinavir. (A) Lytic activity of extracts from an LLS-producing strain (LLS+) of L.
monocytogenes treated with nelfinavir relative to a DMSO control (n = 3). Extracts from a separate strain with llsA deleted (LLS−) were also used as a
control. (B) Lytic activity of extracts from a CLS-producing strain of C. sporogenes treated with nelfinavir relative to a DMSO control (n = 3). (C)
Production of PZN by B. amyloliquefaciens treated with nelfinavir relative to a DMSO control (n = 4). Nelfinavir was used at 50 μM in all cases.
Excluding LLS− negative control, P values < 0.05 were obtained for all nelfinavir-treated samples relative to the corresponding DMSO positive
controls.
