Figure Lengend Snippet: Yeast 2‐hybrid interaction assay of the interaction between (a) TrAP from ToLCNDV‐C ([C]), ToLCNDV‐T&C ([T&C]), ToLCKV‐T ([T]) and ToLCNDV‐C[M9] ([C‐M9]) and SlAGO1, CsAGO1, Slrgs‐CaM and SlATG7. (b) REn from ToLCNDV‐C, ToLCNDV‐T&C, ToLCKV‐T and ToLCNDV‐C[M9] and SlPolA, SlRBR, CsPCNA and SlPCNA. TrAP was expressed as a GAL4‐activating domain fusion protein in HGold yeast and mated with Y187 yeast expressing the plant protein as a fusion protein to the GAL4‐DNA binding domain. The figure shows the mated yeast plated on triple dropout (−Trp/−Leu/−His) plates as selection for interaction. Empty vector controls are HGold expressing the empty vector pGADT7‐AD or Y187 expressing the empty pGBKT7‐BD vector.

Article Snippet: Full‐length ORFs of REn were obtained from ToLCNDV‐C, ToLCNDV‐C[M9], ToLCNDV‐T&C and ToLCKV‐T plasmids and cloned into pGBKT7‐BD, fusing with the Gal4 DNA‐binding domain (Takara: 630443).
