Figure Lengend Snippet: RBOHD-produced H 2 O 2 mediates ABI4 sulfenylation. A Effect of H 2 O 2 concentration on ABI4 sulfenylation. Protoplasts from abi4 mutants transiently expressing ABI4-GFP were treated with the indicated concentrations of H 2 O 2 for 60 min. ABI4-GFP was immunoprecipitated using anti-GFP magnetic beads, and sulfenylation (SOH) levels were detected using an anti-SOH antibody. B Time-dependent sulfenylation of ABI4 following treatment with 10 μM H 2 O 2 . C-D ABA-induced sulfenylation of ABI4 in protoplasts from abi4 (C) and abi4 rbohd (D) mutants transiently expressing ABI4-GFP following treatment with 10 μM ABA for the indicated times. E Identification of the sulfenylated cysteine residue in ABI4. Protoplasts transiently expressing ABI4-GFP or cysteine-mutated variants were treated with H 2 O 2 , followed by immunoprecipitation and SOH detection as described above. Sulfenylation levels were normalized to the untreated control (set to 1.0). Data represent means ± SE from at least three independent biological replicates. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05, Duncan's multiple range test).
