Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of functional uORFs in the 5′-UTR of the eg1 gene on gene expression in P . oxalicum grown on Avicel. (a) RT-qPCR analysis of gfp transcription. (b) RT-qPCR assay of eg1 transcription in OE- eg1 - muORF mutants. (c) mRNA stability of eg1 following 6 h dactinomycin pretreatment. (d) mRNA stability of eg1 following 2 h cycloheximide pretreatment. Data values represent mean ± standard deviation. Each experiment was performed with at least three biological replicates. ∗ p < 0.05 and ∗∗ p < 0.01 denote statistically significant differences compared to the control strain eg1 -5′-UTR- GFP or OE eg1 .
Article Snippet: The medium was supplemented with either dactinomycin (Shanghai Yuanye Bio-Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) at a final concentration of 5 μg/mL or cycloheximide (MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL.
