Absorption measurements were carried out at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C using a Varian (Palo Alto, CA, USA) CARY400 spectrophotometer. All spectra were corrected for buffer contributions. Fluorescence emission spectra were collected using a FluoroMax-3 fluorometer (HORIBA Jobin Yvon, Kyoto, Japan) at 20 ± 0.5 °C, equilibrating samples for 5 min prior to spectra acquisition. CysE/CdiA-CT stoichiometric binding to CysK was monitored by measuring PLP fluorescence emission at 500 nm following excitation at 412 nm (see [24 (link)]) [39 (link),50 (link),51 (link)]. All spectra were corrected for buffer contribution, and the slit width set to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio.
